  12. JACK WELCH:THE SECOND WAVE • In what ways did Welch’s approach change in the late 1980’s (both generally and specifically)? • Why the change? • Is Welch still adding value? How?

  13. JACK WELCH • By the early and mid 1990s, most conglomerates were being broken up, How did GE escape? • Are Welch and his team legitmately adding value to this highly diverse portfolio? • What do you think of his notion of stretch targets?

  14. IMPLEMENTATION • Lead rather than followed management practice • Establish a strong base (#1 or #2; workout) and then builds and leverages (globalization; best-practices, boundaryless) • Simultaneous emphasis on both hardware and software (e.g., workout and globalization; A players and dyb.com) • Deeply embedded operating system that integrates visionary initiatives into strategic plans, personnel reviews, and ongoing corporate communications (see exhibit 10)

  15. IMPLEMENTATION • Takes broad concepts and operationalizes them in tools and mechanisms that allows implementation (e.g., Speed, simplicity, and self confidence embodied in Work Out) • Translates initiatives into specific targets (#1 or #2 in world markets; six sigma) • Identification of champions (e.g. Fresco for Global; Reiner for Six Sigma) • Insists on alignment and commitment (“participation is not optional”) • Creating measures and aligning rewards (bonus for idea sharing; 40% of bonus on Six Sigma) • Communicator: Articulates initial concept, emphasizes need for alignment; spreads success
