Thoughts After Touring The New Ford World Headquarters

Show notes

Me and photographer Ryan Southen reflect on Ford's new glass-clad headquarters across from The Henry Ford in Dearborn. We get into the design elements, the thoughts behind the campus, and details we noticed from the tour.

It shows an organization that's looking not only to the future, but to having a campus that top talent from around the country would want to work at.

Ford's new World Headquarters isn't just glass and steel. It's a 2.1 million square foot bet that Metro Detroit and Michigan can compete for talent with Silicon Valley.
