A Charity Bike Build Helps GE Vernova Recharge Its Leadership Process in Schenectady, New York
The early-morning build kicked off a two-day leadership meeting at the company’s River Road site. The meeting focused on the company’s leadership process. Leaders wanted new ways to show that process to their teams.
Six teams earned bike parts by solving challenges. As they built, they talked about what they could do differently. Each team looked for ways to improve the process. Leaders from around the world shared their perspectives and traded ideas.
The build doubled as a working session. By the end, the leaders had six finished bikes and fresh ideas for the next two days.
Felix Perez from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady accepted the bikes and spoke to the group. The organization runs four clubhouses and after-school programs in eight city schools.
