Some advice for Larry Culp

Larry CULP: read this carefully

Break GE into pieces. No way around it.

Kill GGO, Cretinville, GRC, trash all corporate teams. Completely. Don’t keep any of it. Useless. Huge weight for the company.

Then take the remaining pieces. Have engineers make products the best in the world, reshape supply chain ops. Pick really sharp product management and sales leaders, reposition the portfolio. Kill all products that are not competitive ASAP.

3 new companies, not GE anymore, find new names for each of them (GE is dead, get over it):

-Aerospace systems: aircraft engines and systems

-Medical systems: CTS, MRI, US, healthcare software

-Energy systems: smart grid, T&D hardware and systems, high perf gas plants systems, power plant services. Mean and lean portfolio, with good margins and real demand. Scale supply chain properly. Kill all other products immediately.

Spin off of Oil & gas (BHGE) / already under way

Same for Transportation

Get rid of them ASAP

Game over, GE - you let a bunch of clowns destroy the company from the inside, continuously mismanage great businesses, for 3 decades.... you will not recover. Ever.

Stumbled on this post on another thread, and I tend to agree with the OP @VHyCSBU-2yra on the steps that LC needs to take in order to keep GE afloat, so I thought the post needed some more visibility on this board.

Seems to me Larry followed the advice… so long, GE…

Larry CULP: Rice, Stokes, Strazik - those CAS/FMP boys cannot and will not do the job. Send them home. Now. Get outsiders who will look at things objectively, with an industrial perspective, and a long term plan. Do not waste your time with those 3. Every minute they stay in charge is another minute lost for GE.

It looks like Larry has started executing this plan. Let us see how fast the pace will be.

Larry CULP - you have your roadmap: get to work, now. Before it is too late.

Great advice! And to the critics of the union, they are the muscle of the GE machine, stop with your elitist attitudes. The union and hourly workers are just as important to the GE team as anyone else!

Most important, shut down Power, and Schenectady, get rid of all of them lazy union power workers. Dead weight on the company.

Another one for Larry:

Fire Russel Stokes, as soon as possible. The man has no idea what he is doing. Simply clueless. Send him home. Now.

I like sushi my cussin made it ones and then he plaid goff with rustle at his ritsy coarse I. Atlanta wear he lives in the coarse

"Spin off of Oil & gas (BHGE) / already under way"

Get rid of the business that caters to plastics, paints, inks, personal care, coatings, other industrial end uses unrelated to GE business.

HAHA! funny. So people do know how to speak without using dirty words. Continuous improvement...

The world breathlessly awaits your opinion.

Then look deeper. Devil is in the details. That is why Jiro Ono said that he had spent life time to make sushi but the best one still not made yet.

nothing like Mr Obvious. this is the plan

“Make sure those who are given radical transparency recognize their responsibilities to handle it well and to weigh things intelligently. People cannot be given the privilege of receiving information and then use the information to harm the company, so rules and procedures must be in place to ensure that doesn’t happen.”
