Oliver Astley: Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to New Depths

Oliver Astley GE
November 12, 2014
The challenges of offshore, deep sea drilling are, in a word, immense. Imagine a place three miles below the surface of the ocean, where there is almost complete darkness and the pressure exerted on every square inch is equivalent to the weight of three automobiles.
 

That’s the type of incredibly harsh environment that GE researchers are competing with as we design electrification equipment for our customers that will power oil and gas processing functions reliably on the seabed.

Eileen Claussen: Addressing Climate Change in the Absence of Policy

Eileen Claussen Center For Climate And Energy Solutions
November 10, 2014
For the past two decades, governments, companies and non-­governmental organizations concerned about climate change have looked to comprehensive global and national policy solutions.
 

While this approach makes sense — given that climate change is a global issue and market­-based national or international solutions would be far less expensive solutions than command and control approaches — an ambitious, binding international treaty has yet to materialize. And here in the U.S., climate change legislation doesn’t look likely for the foreseeable future.

The innovators are disrupting and consumerizing healthcare to the benefit of all of us.
 

As tech companies consumerize healthcare and create more frictionless experiences, it would behoove doctors to take notice and implement certain technologies and services into their practice to improve the patient’s overall experience.

Cultural Shift in the Industrial Internet Age — Q&A with Edward Youdell

Ed Youdell Fabricators And Manufacturers Association
October 30, 2014
The rise of the Industrial Internet and Big Data has the power to transform industries, with data captured by connected machines enabling companies to capture efficiencies across operations and potentially achieve zero downtime.
 

To realize the benefits of these technologies, however, companies need to ensure that data analytics are being applied in the most effective way and communicated to the right people. That often requires a cultural shift throughout the operations — from the C-suite to the shop floor.
