We’re Not the Only Ones Blogging These Days…

Enjoy reading up on the blog to see what IMLPs are up to and the cool things that GE’s doing these days?  Well, we’re not the only ones in GE trying to get the word out about what we do and how we operate.  Interested to see some of the cutting edge technology coming out of our GE research center?  Check out their blog at http://www.grcblog.com/.  Or how about out getting a peek at new breakthroughs at GE Healthcare Europe?  Check out http://gehealthcare.typepad.com/ge_healthcare_blog/.   Rather look at GE from a more holistic, high-level view?  Check out GE’s newest, largest, and furthest reaching blog at http://www.gereports.com/.

We’ve got blogs popping up everywhere and the trend continues to grow.  I’m starting to see both external and interior-facing blogs being used for everything from external information dissemination and recruiting efforts to internal lean workouts and geographically dispersed team coordination. 

In fact, GE’s even incorporated a personal blog into every employee’s internal GE profile, allowing you to post tidbits of information about things you’ve been working on or need assistance on and have your colleagues read it and reply back.  For example, I subscribe to GE’s CIO’s personal blog.  He posts every once and a while about new things that he’s looking into, his vision on select topics, etc. and these have been extraordinarily insightful to me, allowing me to see his plans for the future and new opportunities that exist on the horizon.

How’s that for imagination at work?
