"We expect Farley to bring urgency, driving Ford to be a smaller but more focused company: We think the overarching theme of the Farley tenure will be driving Ford to be a smaller but more focused company. We think Farley brings a greater sense of urgency – something which was arguably lacking from Ford in recent years, with greater focus on meeting targets.

At the same time, we’d expect brands/products that aren’t strengths for Ford to be shrunk." Farley is also seen needing to drive significant progress on the far out horizon, as investors will need to see proof points that Ford is prepared for industry disruption. It is not an understatement to say Ford has had a tough time [URL='https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/F/chart']getting traction with investors over the last few years[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
