Scaling Disruptive Innovation

Transformative change takes time. When Thomas Edison founded GE 124 years ago, he couldn’t have fathomed the technological, economic or environmental realities of today. In the same spirit, we expect that our vision of the future will be different from anything we envisage today.

This vision needs to address a changing climate, economic pressures and increasing demands for natural resources. Society is looking to business for answers.

How Healthcare Hacks Help Doctors Innovate

Jan Denecker Healthcare Marketing Director Ups Europe
May 27, 2016

Comeback Kid: The Next Sound-Barrier-Busting Passenger Jet Could Be Quietly Supersonic

Tomas Kellner
May 26, 2016
The Concorde was the first and last supersonic jet in passenger service. But that claim comes with a caveat.
The plane could accelerate above the speed of sound only over the ocean. The prospect of noisy sonic booms caused by the plane crossing the sound barrier forced pilots to hold back the throttle above towns and cities after takeoff and before touchdown. “This speed limit actually made the plane much less efficient,” says Karl Wisniewski, director of advanced programs at GE Aviation. “It was designed to fly fast.”
