Is there an executive search going on for the next “leaders” of Pro and Integrated Services? Ford has no bench of potential future leaders, and outside hires like Stern and DF just have not worked out well.
My feeling is there is another reorg coming, to eliminate money-loser Model e and sweep the big mess Farley’s created under a rug.

Musk has the new administration support to lessen the rules for self-driving electric vehicles which will greatly benefit Telsa' grow in the autonomous vehicle market.
Even if the incentives go away electric vehicles still benefit from government support.
Tesla is a gigantic hole that money gets thrown into. Their leader was able to build his company up by taking government handouts. If you support that then you are a RINO just like he is.
Now that his precious government handouts have been taken away, his company is struggling to make anything - especially struggling to make a profit hahaha!!
For the love of God how we have divided into Ford Pro, Ford Blue, Mach-e and integrated services makes 0 sense. GM doesn't do that, stallantis doesn't do that, Tesla doesn't do that. All these divides have done is created an opportunity for LL5-LL2s in these orgs to build their empires which costs company valuable resources and creates duplicate jobs which provide very little value. I am stunned how no one has been able to call this out yet and we have been going around in circles talking about our quality voes. How can anyone even own quality when you have so much division at the top and everyone just looking to pass the blame and elevate their career rather than solving problems.
Pro is profitable because Super Duty is part if its financials. Realign it under Blue.
What org are you in where it was discussed? Wonder what it will look like
Cannis was horrible and was a leftover from Jim Hackett, one of the worst CEOs of all time. Stern,Doug Field and all the software guys are one cluster fu-k after another. company is crashing hard. andrew frick seems to be the only rational one. he is a sales guy, but kumar and baumbick are tough to listen to as well. both talk about other groups but cannot clean up their own messes
If they needed to be replaced, why did they go in the first place?

We were told in our staff meeting last week that a reorg is coming, but it probably won't be in place for another 6 months. We were also told there are no plans for another headcount reduction, but that HR is heavily pushing for performance based separations.
No need to replace either. Get the search for Farley’s replacement moving.
Honestly those two segments add no value to our bottom line or pressing quality issues. They should just be pushed under Mike Amend, consolidated and fat trimmed. We have to go back to the basics to building reliable, competitive vehicles, enough of this e-mobility cr-p from Hackett era.
