Thread regarding GE Digital layoffs

What new ideas could he possibly have ? Cut costs, increase sales, jettison unneeded business, manage legacy obligations, etc.

We are gonna get FOLC'd (Friends Of Larry Culp). GE Shareholders should be demanding that this old boy network get tossed and some new ideas and leadership brought in. Larry has no new ideas.

Pat has an expanded role, meaning he can be successful even if GED is not. Translation: elevation to new "Corporate Lean Six Sigma" Czar and GED diffuses into the background....

The largest business is a slow growth narrowly focused business acquired from Alstom (ie Grid Solutions Software). This is the basis to build a lean process oriented solution set from ?

That supports the idea of a spinoff. Trying to round out the offering of the pig?

Let me translate. "We believe that GE Digital is the right home for Aviation SaaS to grow while GE Aviation continues to manage its Connected Aircraft offerings with customers directly." means Aviation SaaS has failed, and Connected Aircraft is healthy.

GE Digital, where failed systems go to die.

"in the right direction" yes. "Too little too late" perhaps also

Yeah...turning around GED and making it a real business is no small task. At some point, a differentiated value prop that can be delivered is critical...

Wow. Pretty devoid of any real content

I think Pat at least is in right direction. Bill Ruh's direction is typical silicon valley mentality, build a product your own way to attract customer, it works well for consumer market where end users do not have much bargaining power. Industry customers are different, especially GED handles lots of mega customers. That's why Predix failed. Pat dropped that (all cloud strategy) and put customer first and changed GED's role from leading to serving. the scope are also narrower. These are positive things.

He mentioned "lean". GE Buzzword of the Year.
