At this week’s Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles, GE Chairman and CEO Larry Culp said there was “no one technology that will carry the day” when it comes to the energy transition. Instead, he said, the world needs to deploy a variety of approaches to address what he called the “trilemma” — reliability, affordability, and sustainability. “In many respects, we need just about everything that we can muster, both in terms of what we have today and what we’ll have as a result of innovation going forward,” he said.
Reporting GE’s third-quarter results, GE Chairman and CEO Larry Culp said the company delivered “another strong quarter as orders, margins and cash improved.” The results benefited from “continued signs of recovery” in the aviation market, Culp said, but he stressed that GE’s focus on continuous improvement and lean management was driving broader operational and financial progress. He also said that the company was managing through significant challenges, such as supply chain disruptions and onshore wind market pressure due to the U.S. production tax credit (PTC).

Perhaps the most important initiative Larry Culp announced when he joined GE as chairman and CEO was introducing the concept of lean management and putting it into action. Shortly following his second anniversary in the job, Culp delivered an update on lean, bringing his colleagues and select members of the media up to speed on how GE’s adoption of the management approach has progressed so far. From the get-go, he’s seen lean as a natural fit for GE. “I know of no other way to run a business than through lean principles,” he said.
