Fit for big data

Digitalization requires agile work methods, updated know-how and new thought patterns. If we do not train our employees and prepare them for the transformation, we will not be able to further develop our services or ourselves as a company. The lesson plan for our data.comp training campaign includes such topics as big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Promoting these competences and work methods will enable us to advance the development of autonomous vehicles and robots.

Thinking outside the box


Developing solutions outside the norm, creating new business models and generating ideas for the mobility of the future – these are the objectives of the Audi Denkwerkstatt. Besides a variety of startups, a fixed team of seven Audi employees also works at the Berlin co-working space. They receive backup for six months at a time by as many as 15 employees from all divisions, sites, hierarchical levels and age group.

Audi process workshop

Creative exchange for innovative solutions

In the “Agile Process Workshop”, which was created to optimize and digitize Audi’s core processes, employees from various divisions work together – in part using agile work methods. The first process workshop convened in Gaimersheim near Ingolstadt in 2017 with a pilot project regarding product data management in the vehicle development process. Working across departmental and hierarchical boundaries opens up dialogue and creates transparency. “The Agile Process Workshop provides key ideas for the further development of work methods at Audi,” said Arno Lang, Head of Strategic Consulting at Audi Consulting.

The Agile Process Workshop format shows how experts in different fields can collaborate effectively on highly complex topics.
