New mobility is transforming our world in both the way we move goods and people, and our collective impact on the environment. This transformation is driven by an unprecedented convergence of technologies, industries, and social pressures. Whilst fossil fuels still account for the overwhelming majority of our propulsion sources today, the momentum of the shift towards cleaner means of mobility is exploding.
This has created a storm of innovation and creativity in the future mobility segments. New OEMs for future mobility vehicles are being founded at a rate that hasn’t been seen since the early decades of the automobile industry. Suppliers are bringing new solutions to manufacturers at a spectacular rate as they harness new technologies. And established industry leaders are committing the full force of their R&D organisations to transforming the market.
Although personal and delivery mobility tend to grab the headlines, there is also an amazing transformation led by electrification in the infrastructure and industrial applications segments, with ports, off-highway, production, and infrastructure being revolutionised by electrification.
There has never been a better time to work in the mobility field, but equally, never has there been a time when skill shortages have been so pronounced. Every company involved in future mobility has massive talent strategy challenges, and those who can address them will be the winners emerging from an ambiguous and competitive era. Cobalt Parsons Human Capital was founded on its mobility practice. We have been consistently relied upon by some of the industry’s leaders to support their talent strategy, whether it has involved attracting best in class talent from both mobility sectors and converging industries, or addressing their development strategy.
Our founder previously held a global leadership position at a major Tier One focussed on electrification, cockpit electronics and autonomous technology. Our mobility practice team maintain an unrivalled network in the mobility sectors and keep a special focus on developments in software, AI, and other technology verticals, to find the ideal digitally enabled professionals for our global clients.
We have worked with our key clients in identifying new site locations driven from a human capital perspective, and even co-invested with some of our clients. Our leadership is frequently asked to participate in industry body events as expert contributors and speakers.
