That requires changing the rules of the game. Unfortunately, I think there's an issue of scale here. Rakesh, you have a clear vision and can go out and implement it because of the size of your company. In a company the size of GE, regardless of the hype, walls don't fall down with the blast of a trumpet. GE has such an astounding record of financial success, however you measure it, that it's difficult to innovate.
Real innovators are entrepreneurs who assume real risk with no safety net.
But, understandably, GE can't embrace gonzo entrepreneurism. Still, in spite of the size, GE manages to remain alert, and at least periodically it shakes the rafters. There are many businesses, believe it or not, that are going to be able to continue in the real world, without being touched by the Internet. But many businesses will be transformed by the Internet, and for those, as painful as it may be, I see no choice except to begin adjusting management techniques, control mechanisms, and cultures. Otherwise, businesses will find themselves losing very talented people like you, Ken, because they'll say, Look, I think I'll move over to the world of start-ups.
