A lot can be said about the genius behind Henry Ford and his massive innovations and inventions. He probably would not have had that hard time of a time understanding the modern call center and agent retention. An example from the growth of Ford Motor company illustrates this. Henry Ford had a singular goal, he was driven to drive the cost of his vehicle, the “Model T”, lower and lower- “to make a car for the average man.” His efforts to do this produced the first moving assembly line. By compartmentalizing the “Model T assembly,” he took the overall cost from $850 in 1908 to less than $300 dollars in 1925.
