Engineers called back to CTC to work on global teams

Stellantis is a global company, with engineering sources from countries around the world—not just the three headquarters in France, Italy, and the United States. Fiat itself already had engineering centers in India and Brazil, but their work could be handled in relatively large chunks.

Recently, FCA US engineers have reported being called back to work at the CTC, with working from home increasingly discouraged. However, in the CTC, work is often done with global teams, rather than the local cross-functional groups the CTC was built around. This video takes a quick look at the issues involved, the primary reasons for working in a shared physical location, and how Stellantis could increase the effectiveness of its global teams.

David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest Mopar site (Allpar) in 1994. After a chemo-induced 2007-2010 break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales (Chrysler history and “permanent” car and truck pages). He most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the marque.
