IAA MOBILITY Visionary Club live x Christopher Dehnel, Partner at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

In the fifth live episode of the IAA MOBILITY VISIONARY CLUB at IAA MOBILITY, host Sarah Harman speaks with Christopher Dehnel, Partner at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG). Christopher Dehnel shares his in-depth perspective on the current state of the automotive industry. He describes the industry’s transformation as a “triathlon” — with electrification, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving as the three disciplines that must be mastered simultaneously, requiring courage, endurance, and a willingness to embrace radical change. Together, we discuss the innovation pressure from Chinese competitors, the comeback of European OEMs, and the strategic importance of bold partnerships and investments across the entire value chain. Find out why, according to Dehnel, embracing imperfection, moving fast, and driving cultural change are essential for long-term success — and why the time for pilot projects is over. Don’t miss this insightful conversation about the future of the automotive industry, the role of AI, and the race to define tomorrow’s mobility.
