Henry Ford is perhaps one of the most well-known innovators in the US. After all, it was his mass production line that helped people make the shift from horses or high cost / low quality automobiles to a reliable, affordable car - the Model T. Ford perfected a process by which he determined the model, the shape, the size and especially the color of the automobile. Ford was a synthesizer and a manufacturing innovator. Instead of cars, they are working on innovations.

By now everyone knows that innovation is a top three priority for executives. But saying that innovation is important doesn't mean it will get funded, get prioritized and get done.
