The Team’s Plan: The Haas team designed a mobile network that customers could use to access different modes of transportation at any time using the FordPass App. By re-purposing the car share program, vehicles would not only serve as short-term rentals, but also as a pick-up and drop-off location for Ford’s SPIN scooters. Trunk space would act as a storage and charging station for scooters. This transportation network would allow Ford to meet customer needs for multiple transit modes.
该团队的计划是:Haas团队设计了一个移动网络,用户可以使用该网络随时使用FordPass应用程序访问不同的交通方式。通过改变汽车共享计划的用途,汽车不仅可以作为短期租赁,还可以作为福特SPIN Scooter的接送地点。后备箱空间将充当滑板车的存储和充电站。这一运输网络将使福特能够满足客户对多种运输方式的需求。
What set them apart: Drawing from all of their experiences, both professional and educational, the Haas team presented a unique proposal. Lin contributed to the development and structure of the presentation; Wang, with his environmental and service design background, worked on the customer experience; Min, drawing on his Marine Corps experience and MBA courses, identified technical specifications for the project; and West, using her economic development background, identified stakeholders and community growth opportunities.
使他们与众不同的是:根据他们所有的经验,包括专业经验和教育经验,Haas团队提出了一个独特的建议。林对演讲的发展和结构做出了贡献;王具有环境和服务设计背景,致力于客户体验;闵利用其海军陆战队经验和MBA课程,确定了项目的技术规范;以及韦斯特利用其经济发展背景,确定利益相关者和社区增长机会。
“Our team stood out because of our diverse perspectives that led us to a very creative solution and presentation,” said Rebecca West, MBA 21. “We approached the initial prompt from four very distinct backgrounds, and through Andy’s leadership, were able to weave them all together. Johnny and Yifeng then drove the development of the presentation forward.”
MBA 21岁的丽贝卡•韦斯特(Rebecca West)说:“我们的团队之所以脱颖而出,是因为我们的视角多样,为我们带来了一个非常有创意的解决方案和演讲。”。“我们从四个截然不同的背景接近最初的提示,并通过安迪的领导,能够把它们编织在一起。约翰尼和叶锋随后推动了演讲的发展。”
