FedEx Corporation and MSA are Outstanding Corporate Innovators in 2007
At the 31st Annual International Conference in Orlando, the Product Development & Management Association (PDMA) will award FedEx Corp. and MSA for their exceptional skill in continuously creating and capturing value through new product and service development.
Stan Jankowski, chair of PDMA’s OCI award selection committee, said:
We are pleased to recognize these two organizations that demonstrate an enterprise-wide commitment to innovation, and are highly successful in the continuous development of profitable new products.
MSA receives the Award for a well-defined innovation strategy that is strongly tied to corporate objectives. In recent years, the 94-year-old company (with roots in mining) was transformed into a global leader in safety products. MSA has developed, integrated, and today continuously improves a portfolio of disciplined new product development and management processes leading to exceptional business results.
FedEx has focused over the last few years on the vision of achieving leadership in development and optimization of a portfolio of innovative products and services. Today, FedEx ensures unprecedented levels of customer loyalty, enhances a culture of empowerment and trusts in new product development decision making, and is growing through global expansion and strategic acquisitions - resulting in a portfolio of innovative new service offers which have reinforced FedEx’s leadership position in the package and shipping services industry.
