Strategic Edge
William R.C. Blundell, P.Eng., Chairman and CEO, General Electric Canada Inc.
"To achieve a competitive edge we must understand and
embrace the priority of productivity, make the
transition to the leadership style of the 90’s and focus on
business strategies that leverage our indigenous
strengths ... Vision is the glue that takes the place of
much of the hierarchial structures of the past ...
Canada must use flexibility to compete and win in the global
arena. Increasing flexibility requires a high
commitment to teamwork and empowerment of the workforce at
all levels ... There is a major challenge
ahead to expand Canada’s science-based innovation
infrastructure, and in particular to upgrade our pool
of scientists and engineers, both in terms of quality and
quantity ...
The reality is that if we want to keep Canada Canadian, we
have to keep Canada competitive."
