Our People What makes GE people different? Their thirst to learn and their ability to deliver as a team. The idea of teams is simple but the reality of delivering as a team is not. It requires a culture that values the long view, harnesses change, takes risks, embraces mutual accountability and practices patience. None of this is easy in the competitive world of business. To stay sharp, GE invests $1 billion a year in training. GE is known for its culture of management and learning, innovation and teamwork. New training courses such as the Leadership Innovation and Growth (LIG) program ensure that our most senior leaders never stop learning by engaging them in team-based training. The program’s team-centric approach cultivates a broad view of the business, expedites best-practice implementation and establishes shared accountability to create growth. 34 ge 2006 annual report

NBC Universal NBC News has a heritage for innovation that spans decades. Given today’s complex environment, with news content available through an increasing number of media sources, NBC News is meeting this challenge by taking its senior talent through team training to strengthen growth strategies moving forward. The results? A strategy that places the “Today” show 17 points ahead of its competitors, an 8% increase in viewership for MSNBC (the only cable news network to post gains in 2006), and the most honored newscast with “Nightly News” winning major awards in 2006 including a Peabody, Edward R. Murrow, and DuPont, as well as two Emmys. pictured left to right Phil Griffin, David Gregory, Lyne Pitts, Brian Williams, Al Roker, Steve Capus, Alex Wallace, Robert Dembo, Ann Curry ge 2006 annual report 35
