A Day at GE Appliances

Why did 45 IMLPs from four different businesses get together at the headquarters of GE Appliances in Louisville, Kentucky?

a. To learn more about GE Appliances through business overviews from both GE Appliances’ CIO and VP of Technology

b. To tour Appliance Park’s newly opened LEED certified data center

c. To see GE’s onsite dishwasher manufacturing line in action

d. To hear about GE’s  Home Energy Management initiative

e. To reunite with friends made in Bootcamp

f. To be racehorse jockeys at Louisville’s Churchill Downs in this past weekend’s Breeder’s Cup

g. All of the above, except choice f

You guessed it: the correct answer is g, all of the above (minus being racehorse jockeys). Last Friday, IMLPs from GE Home and Business Solutions (comprised of Appliances, Lighting, & Intelligent Platforms), Aviation, Energy, and Corporate gathered at Appliance Park for a close up look at GE Appliances behind the scenes. Although we all work under the same GE umbrella, it can be difficult to keep up with the happenings at our wide array of businesses. This event provided a great opportunity for IMLPs to stay connected. After a successful day at Appliance Park, there are already plans in the works for visit to GE Aviation offices in Cincinnati, Ohio.
