NEW YORK – Ford Motor Co. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields discussed the automaker’s future by first discussing its past – starting with the 1964 World’s Fair in New York.

Fields talked about how that event 50 years ago marked a key time for innovation – from Apple introducing a new computer to Ford creating the pony car segment with the Mustang – and how the same basic characteristics of innovation play a key role in successful companies today.
