People as Your Most Important Asset

People as your most important asset. Your technologies, products and structures can be copied by competitors. No one, however, can match your highly charged, motivated people who care. People are your firm's repository of knowledge and they are central to your company's competitive advantage. Well educated, coached, and highly motivated people are critical to the development and execution of strategies, especially in today's faster-paced, more perplexing world, where top management alone can no longer assure your firm's competitiveness.

Case Study GE Work-Out

Jack Welch has always said that GE's primary product and core competence is not jet engines or gas turbines, but people. One of the most fundamental truths about Welch's management principles is that it's about people, not numbers. "We are constantly amazed by how much people will do when they are not told what to do by management," says Welch.


In most organizations, change efforts come and go - and rarely make a difference. But at GE, one of the largest companies in the world, one particular change process helped spark a complete transformation – Work-Out. With Work-Out as part of its DNA, GE has become one of the most innovative, profitable, and admired companies on earth.3

At its core, Work-Out is a very simple concept based on the premise that those closest to the work know it best. When the ideas of those people, irrespective of their functions and job titles, are solicited and turned immediately into action, an unstoppable wave of creativity, energy, and productivity is unleashed throughout the organization. At GE, Work-Out "Town Meetings" gave the corporation access to an unlimited resource of imagination and energy of its talented employees.
