Get Smart: How Cultural Transformation is Enabling a Smarter Aviation Industry

Taking Flight

It’s rush hour, and you are about to embark on your daily commute to work. The drive normally takes you about 20 minutes, but it’s raining, so you plug your destination into your GPS app to make sure you’re on the fastest route. It turns out that there’s been an accident on your typical path and traffic is heavy as a result, so the app guides you toward an alternate route, saving you an additional 10 minutes of travel time and enabling you to get to work on time. Data and connectivity have the power to transform the way we operate, making not just people, but businesses and industries smarter. At GE Aviation, we are connecting streams of machine data and analytics to create valuable insights that enable more efficient asset management and operations for GE and for its customers. Success is driven by a fundamental shift in the way teams are thinking and working, blurring the lines of vertical silos to create cross-functional teams focused on delivering shared, business-level outcomes. Listen as some of GE Aviation’s leaders discuss how this transformation is taking shape.
