“I have viewed firsthand the major difference that EMMP has had on some of the graduates who work for me and with whom I've worked. Their understanding of the business and of technology has been broadened through cross-functional classroom education and experience in leadership projects. The selection process ensures that they all have the ability to become leaders at Ford. Because they come from a variety of backgrounds, they learn from each other as well as from the excellent instructors.”

 

“We’re trying to grow our future leaders. EMMP not only provides the skills to get the job done, but also provides a broader perspective of what the company is trying to accomplish. The program provides skills that would otherwise require years of rotating through various jobs within the company. With EMMP leadership projects, the main thing that we have achieved is getting new and different ideas and solutions to some “age old” problems.”

 

“Through this unique program the development of strong leaders is accelerated through extensive projects that involve employees in various technological and engineering venues across Ford. For example, EMMP perspectives on risk analysis and decision-making skills have proven invaluable in my position.”

 

“By uniting engineering principles and management concerns, EMMP produces engineers with keen business acumen and analytical skills, who are well prepared to serve in leadership roles.”
