Last month, our Davison and Inventionland teams in Pittsburgh and Irwin traveled to Dearborn, Michigan, to tour the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. We were so inspired after learning about this iconic inventor’s successes, adversities, and inspirations that I worked to arrange a motivational trip for our sunny Florida office, too.

Last weekend, the team visited Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Meyers, Florida, where Henry Ford spent the winter season with his role model and friend, Thomas Edison, developing and improving upon familiar processes and inventions. The estates are beautiful and verdant, including a botanical garden, rubber factory, and more to explore. They found the trip to be a thrilling and educational experience, which motivated them to continue to counsel the aspiring inventors that may help shape our world.

Considering the influence and successes of Ford and Edison reignite my own passion to improve quality of life. I’m happy to celebrate Model T Day with our brilliant teams.

As an engineer, Ford brainstormed and developed ways to improve the processes with which he worked. His automobile experimentation, backed by iconic inventor Thomas Edison, would lead to the development of the Ford Motor Company, which set design and production standards for subsequent companies and remains a leader in the industry today.

Ford serves as a model inventor, entrepreneur, and innovator. He is a personal inspiration for my work to improve the process and efficiency of inventing.

I wanted to share his story with our team.

This weekend, employees from Inventionland and Davison joined us on a trip to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, where we toured exhibits and tested out the famous Model T.

“What’s the difference between invention and innovation?” a tour guide asked us. “Improvement.”

This is what Ford represents – the process of improving upon existing processes and ideas in order to find a better way. This is the spirit of our endeavors at Inventionland and Davison.

Thanks to all who joined us for a fantastic day! Ihope you find inspiration in this iconic inventor.
