How do you get 50k employees to work towards the same goal?
summary
GE Healthcare becomes an independent 50,000-person company and adopts a single purpose — create a world where Healthcare has no limits — then builds a strategic framework (purpose, cultural/operating principles, strategic pillars) and cascades measurable priorities so every employee’s KPIs roll up to company goals. Tools include town halls with open Q&A, leader visibility on the ground, a tangible Founders coin, and published pillars — Precision Care, growth acceleration and business optimization — which produce faster decisions and demonstrated resilience in crises.
