Welcome

2015 GE HR Alumni Conference – The Future of HR

It’s amazing how quickly the time passes between

these gatherings…and how much things change! It has

been three years to the month since our last

conference and so much has transpired at GE, across

industry, around the globe, and in the economy. So

now is a great time to put our collective heads together

to compare notes and share ideas.

First, we need to thank Susan Peters, who graciously

continues to support this group whole-heartedly.

Susan’s loyal support and her “lending” us staff and

hosting us at this beautiful Crotonville campus are the

keys to making all of this possible.

This is the fifth national gathering of GE HR Alumni. Your conference is made entirely possible because

of a dedicated group of volunteers who have worked diligently over the last few months to make this all

happen. The good news about an ad hoc team of GE volunteers is that they all know how to work

efficiently, establish good processes, conduct effective virtual meetings, and measure the heck out of

anything in their path. If you meet a member of our planning team during your networking today,

please thank them for their hard work.

As always, we encourage you to make the most of your time at this event reconnecting with former

colleagues, networking with new associates, and learning from our speakers and workshops.

Please take a few moments to get a sense of the program including the agenda and information about

our attendees. We also want to thank our sponsors whose advertisements help offset the Conference

costs.

Finally, none of this would be possible without the foundation of the original GE HR Alumni group that

was started by our colleague, Mike Schiavoni in the mid-1990s (see History). Our GE HR Alumni

Directory has grown to include over 700 members…and counting. We believe that this is the largest

active corporate HR alumni group of its type in the United States.

Over the 20-plus years since its inception, the purpose of the GE HR Alumni group has remained the

same: To promote GE HR Alumni business and social networking and the exchange of best practices.

We are certain that today’s conference will deliver on that mission. The future is NOW!

Carla Fischer and David Gilman

The New GE Performance Development Process (plenary session)

Objective: • Designed to accelerate employee and team growth while enhancing customer

PD is an integral component of GE’s cultural transformation efforts.

In recent weeks, Performance Development has been cited by an array of media outlets -- including the Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Quartz, the BBC Online, CNBC, and The Washington Post -- as a highlight of GE's transformation.

History of the GE HR Alumni Network As he was preparing to leave GE in early 1995, GE HR Alumni founder Mike Schiavoni and several other ex-GE HR leaders mentioned how much they missed their many highly-talented colleagues and the opportunity to continue to share best practices. Mike hoped that by starting a “GE HR Alumni Network” former GE HR Leaders would have easier access to each other and to the ideas, best practices, and collective wisdom of an Alumni group. Those first few “members” provided additional names of GE alumni, and so on and so on. It was soon evident that many HR leaders – both in and out of GE -- valued access to and information about this network. David Gilman, owner of Gilman Performance Systems (GPS) and a fellow GE HR Alum, soon offered to host the “GE HR Alumni Network” on-line at his company’s web-site: www.GPSAdvantage.com. The site has a dedicated area for news and information about our group’s activities, including a complete password-protected directory of our members, which has grown in number to almost 700. David and Mike co-chaired the GE HR Alumni Network until Mike’s (second) retirement in 2012. David and the GPS Staff -- as well as a dedicated group of HR Alumni volunteers led by Carla Fischer -- continue to keep the group moving forward. In 2012, we started the GE HR Alumni Network LinkedIn Group to give our members a forum to share ideas, ask questions, post jobs and more. The group is open to anyone who is a registered member of our database. Over the 20 years since the group was established our purpose has remained the same:

To promote GE HR Alumni business and social networking and the exchange of Best Practices.

This is our fifth National GE HR Alumni Conference. It has been planned entirely by a group of your peers who have generously volunteered and dedicated their time and talent to making this event a success. All GE HR Alumni are eligible to belong to the Alumni Network. There is no membership fee. To date, all of our events have been self-funded — meaning that members pay to participate in meetings, conferences, etc. Our network is not sponsored by Corporate GE HR; however we’ve been fortunate that the HR leadership in Fairfield has been very supportive of our group.

Thank You for Participating!
