Claim: Campbell’s mother spoke out to 'expose' the Obama family (Viral Post, 2023-08-23)
Evidence (2024-10-06): Early life [edit]Naomi Elaine Campbell was born in Lambeth,[4] South London to Jamaican-born dancer Valerie Morris on 22 May 1970.[11] In accordance with her mother's wishes, Campbell has never met her father,[12] who abandoned her mother when she was four months pregnant[11] and went unnamed on her birth certificate.[12] She took the surname "Campbell" from her mother's second marriage.[11] Her half-brother Pierre was born in 1985.[13] Campbell is of Black-Jamaican and Chinese-Jamaican descent. Her Chinese heritage comes through her maternal grandmother, whose surname was Ming.[11] [...] A decade later, she again spoke out against discrimination, stating, "The American president may be black, but as a black woman, I am still an exception in this business. I always have to work harder to be treated equally."[73] In 2013, Campbell joined fellow black models Iman and Bethann Hardison in an advocacy group called "Diversity Coalition". In an open letter to the governing bodies of global fashion weeks, they named high-profile designers who used just one or no models of colour in their Autumn 2013 shows, calling it a "racist act".[21][74] [...] - ^ Byrne, Lisa (13 January 2009).

Evidence (2021-05-19): Henry Ford on Customer Feedback "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." –Henry Ford It’s unclear whether or not Henry Ford actually ever said the quote above, but according to an article in the Harvard Business Review, it’s an accurate reflection of how Ford thought about customer feedback. [...] That’s not the Henry Ford story most of us are familiar with.

Evidence (2024-10-01): "Some people say, "Give the customers what they want." But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, "If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'" People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page."

Evidence (2018-03-17): That "Henry Ford" Quote… "If I’d have asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said, ‘A faster horse.’" — Henry Ford? While there’s doubt that Ford ever said this, it’s something he might have said. Designers tend to hear this when we suggest doing User Research to determine needs and pain points. "If I’d have asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse is what Henry Ford said and he was extremely successful so it’s a waste of time" Please read this article from HBR about why his initial success was predicated on price reduction and the implementation (smartly) of the assembly line (something he didn’t invent) because it discusses his initial success with the first mass produced car, but also points out that General Motors ate his lunch in the 20’s. [...] So imagine you’re sitting in a conference room and you suggest that doing User Research will help advance the product and someone says: "If I’d have asked customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse"…

Evidence (2019-10-10): FACT CHECK: Did Henry Ford Say, ‘If I Had Asked People What They Wanted, They Would Have Said Faster Horses’? A post shared on Facebook claims industrialist Henry Ford once said, "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." [...] "There is a problem trying to figure out what people want by canvassing them," wrote cruise ship designer John McNeece, reported Quote Investigator. "I mean, if Henry Ford canvassed people on whether or not he should build a motor car, they’d probably tell him what they really wanted was a faster horse."

[...] It was Henry Ford, Sr., who said in substance, "It is perhaps well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

Evidence (2018-06-01): That Henry Ford quote gets thrown around a lot and is usually used to justify ignoring naysayers and pushing ahead with a bold, untested vision for a revolutionary new product. See, the customers don’t even know what they want! …but the customers did know what they wanted. They wanted to go faster. They may have imagined a faster horse and were pleasantly surprised by the automobile, but solving their problem (going faster) was their main concern. Stewart’s piece really understands this and emphasizes a trust of the customer that is sometimes missing from discussions on innovation. Your (hopefully soon to be customers) haven’t seen your product yet, but they know what they want, need and like and it’s up to you to make sure your product satisfies what they’re looking for. Whether your training horses or building cars, make sure to listen when they say they want to go faster.

Evidence (2019-11-07): People required faster machine horses which consume inexpensive and clean fuel, whereas horses need good food for muscular energy and strength to drive a cart which is quite expensive. Natural fuels used to run vehicles give no residue except smoke, while a single horse produces tons of manure in a year which had to be clear completely. Cars did not take rest and work continuously for long hours but horses demanded rest at a particular interval for maintenance of their health and muscular strength. Cars didn’t need any special driver to drive it but for horses, special coachmen were hired who were experts on riding the horse. The horse cart was an extra financial burden on the owner of the horse. Cars are made up of the material which is metallic steel and lasts long, while horse carts were made of wood which needed to be regularly repaired or changed in four-five years. The horse has limited life to work and need veterinarians for their regular health check-ups but cars had a long life to work continuously and need little maintenance.

Evidence (2019-11-03): At his boom, Henry Ford is said to have articulated this statement which is often under debate for its applicability in the past and present era. According to Vlaskovits (2011), some even say that this statement has not been said by Henry Ford and is mythical (that is a different argument), however, it is quoted by many leaders in their aggressive speeches signifying Henry Ford’s ideology. Here ‘people’ is implied by ‘customers’. So I will proceed with my discussion keeping this in mind. [...] It was now proved that the highlighted statement of Henry Ford being discussed is not comprised of mere ‘words’ but a stubborn mindset. Because of this, his inflexibly introduced models were not ideal anymore. The losses showed that the customers wanted more than faster horses, they wanted great cars with prodigious features and financing choices. [...] However, the point missed by Henry unlike Steve was the science and art of understanding customer’s values. If they said ‘Faster horses’, it means ‘fastest transportation’, they might not have directly asked for the automatic transmission or enduring engine. This is the beauty of the leader to judge the pain points of customers rightly and this can be done by walking in their shoes. So, it was never about building cars, it was about building a solution to customers’ problems by ‘asking’ them.

Evidence (2021-12-11): Since I’ve just had to have this conversation again… "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." [...] Not that the line makes sense in any case. Because "faster" wasn’t the selling point of cars over horses. Speed wasn’t the problem. Spending huge amounts of money, time, and space on keeping horses alive and dealing with the literal horse shit was the problem. [...] TL;DR: Henry Ford did not say "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses". He pretty much said the exact opposite.

Evidence (2024-10-01): When asked about customer input in the development of the Ford Model T, Henry Ford famously said, "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." [...] Let's take a moment to explore what a "faster horse" means in this context. Ford's alleged quote doesn't really go against customer-centric innovation because, otherwise, it would have suggested that people consume mindlessly and that people don't seek solutions—they just want to spend their money. Needless to say, this is far from being a viable approach to running a business, and it will most likely be the reason for your product's failure. In reality, people wanted faster horses, and that's precisely what Ford gave them.

Evidence (2018-06-16): Ford famously didn’t ask his customers what they wanted because they would have asked for faster horses. But maybe he wasn’t asking the right questions. Of course they would have said that, they didn’t know it was possible to invent a car. The problem though is that I believe he was asking the wrong questions. You should ask your customers what they want, just don’t ask questions they don’t know how to answer! [...] Stop asking your customers for answers, you know more about what is possible with your product and technology. Instead ask them what they want or what their problems are. It is your job to figure out what is possible and come up with solutions for their needs and wants.

Evidence (2014-09-09): Henry Ford was famously quoted as saying, "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses," in response to complaints that he ignored customer input in favor of his own vision when it came to the Model-T. While it is debatable if Ford actually uttered those exact words, most historians would agree that Ford had a vision for manufacturing automobiles that was often at odds with customer demands – "Any color as long as it is black." It is also not debatable that Henry Ford was able to marry this homogenous design approach with the assembly line process to drive down the cost of manufacturing automobiles and create a new market that the Ford Motor Company was able to dominate from 1908 to 1920.

Evidence (2020-03-06): Another supportive line to the same argument is attributed to Henry Ford: "If I had asked my customers what they wanted they would have said a faster horse." [...] Ford didn’t ask his customers! He simply assumed that all they wanted was a faster horse. But he invented the car instead – and good for him! It’s still unfortunate that Ford didn’t develop a habit of asking his customers what they wanted. I doubt that many of them would have said they wanted a faster horse. Most of them would have replied, as Tristan Kromer suggested, that they needed to move cargo across town. And if Ford kept asking follow-up questions – which cargo quantities, for which distances, at which speed – useful feedback would have inevitably emerged. Who knows, had Ford had a habit of talking to his customers, the first Ford truck – arguably the best Ford Motor Company’s invention ever – would have been invented earlier than 20 years after the first Ford car.

Evidence (2023-11-20): In times of change we also learn to adapt, innovate and to find solutions to problems. We change direction, and often veer off our paths but we almost always end up in a better place than where we started. Think about it, if we hadn’t embraced change, we’d all still be living in caves. And, as Henry Ford (the founder of the Ford Motor company) so famously said, "if I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses."

Evidence (2022-01-05): The question arises because of the provocative statements of two of America’s greatest all time business leaders and game changers, Henry Ford and Steve Jobs. Ford is reputed to have said: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." Interestingly, there is no evidence that he ever mouthed or wrote those words, but it has been repeated so many times that people generally believe that he must have. (Parenthetically, it is like Peter Drucker’s "culture eats strategy for lunch." Despite extensive forensic work by Drucker archivists, there is not a shred of evidence he ever said or wrote that phrase, but because people think the great business philosopher did, they assume culture must indeed eat strategy for lunch.) And Jobs really said both "It sounds logical to ask customers what they want and then give it to them. But they rarely wind up getting what they really want that way" and "It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them."

Henry Ford’s famous quote is one of our greatest lessons in innovation. (Although there is much doubt he ever said this, let’s not let that spoil our fun.) [...] So, if you ask a customer or potential customer to solve your problem for you, the brain’s most likely course of action is to take the easy way out and naturally gravitate to something it already understands.

Identifying the best answer to the problem is the critical challenge for a disruptor and is where design thinking can help bridge the gap between company and customer.

Evidence (2017-03-13): Why Henry Ford's Most Famous Quote Is Dead Wrong If Ford had asked people what they wanted, would they really have said 'faster horses?' [...] Henry Ford was one of the world's great innovators and a quotable gentleman at that, particularly in the realms of business and innovation. Perhaps the most famous quote attributed to Ford is this: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." [...] In fact, customers would probably have told Ford exactly what they wanted -- specifically, a faster mode of transportation. They might not have mentioned the need for a combustion engine, but that's part of the art and science of understanding customer feedback.
