60 Minutes for Ford

Recently the highly regarded (and talented) CEO of Ford Motor Company, Mr. Alan Mulally stated that "Ford may be running out of time" (for a turn-around). At Volvo (Ford's nervous child) the Swedes have an expression... "time makes decisions".

Time marks the very essence in getting things done. Common tasks are governed by this simple resource... have time, no time, out of time, in time, about time.

When last checked Ford has time, at least 60 minutes to each hour, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, however they choose to consume this resource in a similar way their trucks burn fuel.

Ford can buy time futures by planning car lines that don't resemble re-badged Volvo's (Zzzz), hire outside leaders who are less concerned with personal image, and address the collateral damage of an over populated dealer body (the latter represents the "third rail" of automotive leadership).

Running out of time Mr. Mulally or a perfectly worded preamble of a new corporate strategy called "sell".

Either way God Speed, or a few Timex watches, which ever works best.
