To continue encouraging this mindset, ZF hosted its first Inspiration World in North America, bringing together hundreds of employees from the company’s major development centers in metro Detroit. Attendees were encouraged to participate with an open mind, to view things from a new perspective and to let their curiosity get the best of them.
Through a series of interactive events including
design thinking
workshops, virtual reality activities, a number of interactive ZF technology displays and even a paper airplane challenge, Inspiration World created a space for people to think creatively and problem solve – individually and together.
