Why Automotive SPICE

Good output comes from good input, good procedures, tools and personnel. Automotive SPICE makes processes measurable.

Training Concept - TASK

Transformation, Attitude, Skill, Knowledge

Automotive SPICE® compliant processes alone do not make the difference. They have to be lived. Our training concept addresses this TASK.

Transformation

The T in TASK stands for transformation (change). Employees in projects have to get the hang of Automotive SPICE®. It takes a process of change to go from being an observer to an insider. People only get involved in this transformation if they are convinced of the goals and the positive effect. Management buy-in is very much in demand here. Only a manager who commits himself to Automotive SPICE® can climb the summit with his team.
Assessments are not about measuring bureaucracy, but about comparing creative solutions with the Process Assessment Model (PAM). Becoming a good assessor and consultant also requires this transformation.
Our training concept is designed to prepare participants for this journey. Vision and motivation have to be sharpened in the interaction with each other.

Attitude

The A in TASK stands for Attitude. 

"Attitudes result from ideas" (Exler, Georg-Wilhelm). 

To become a team player, you need a healthy and positive attitude. This applies not only to the way we deal with each other, but also to the matter at hand. It takes time and energy to overcome obstacles.

In our training concept, we build in the interaction of the participants so that they can form their own opinion. Questions like "What needs to be emphasized?", or "What is the point of all this?" are clarified individually.

Skill

The S in TASK stands for Skill. You can't learn to swim with a book. You have to get into the water. Implementing Automotive SPICE® processes effectively or evaluating them in an assessment must be practiced in the arena.
In our training concept, we deliberately include simulations to learn these skills in interaction.

Knowledge

The K in TASK stands for Knowledge. Knowledge has to be acquired. One person learns well with books, the other learns more audio-visually. Interactive learning stimulates different receptors in our brain for knowledge acquisition.
In our training concept the content is divided into nuggets. The knowledge is tested in short tests or presentations by the participants. In intacs certified courses, an online exam hosted by VDA QMC takes place at the end.
