What OEM Leaders Are Working on Next

The first round of Leadership Xchange Groups revealed where OEMs faced the greatest operational friction. 

In Round 2, the conversation evolved.  Rather than simply identifying challenges, participants began benchmarking performance, comparing governance models, refining KPI frameworks, and testing the processes that drive stronger results. 

Across six focus areas, discussions shifted from understanding problems to understanding practical solutions. Here’s a look at the conversations shaping each Leadership Xchange Group—and where members are taking them next.

What Comes Next

As the Leadership Xchange Groups prepare for their third round of sessions and the Service & Warranty Lifecycle Summit, the conversations continue to evolve.

What began as peer benchmarking is becoming a collaborative effort to build shared KPI frameworks, practical benchmarking models, and operational approaches participants can take back into their organizations.

Current initiatives include:

  • Developing shared KPI and maturity frameworks
  • Comparing operational approaches across OEMs
  • Validating best practices through peer benchmarking
  • Building executive-ready insights to be shared at the Summit

For leaders responsible for service, warranty, quality, supplier recovery, customer campaigns, financial products, and technical support, there are few opportunities to benchmark this deeply with peers facing the same challenges.

That’s what MAPconnected Leadership Xchange Groups were built to do.

Round 3 sessions are now open for registration.
