12. Principles for Innovation at GE:
1. Invest in a deep understanding of our customers.
Our goal is to know them better than they know
themselves.
2. Build an innovation system focused on people and
expertise- not processes.
3. Measure how much and how fast you are learning
per unit of effort

13. Build an innovation system: Build, Measure,
Learn
In GE Innovation is based on the Principles of validating Learning and
Experimentation.

1) Problem
Statement
Define customer
problem…longterm
vision to solve
2)Leap of faith
Assumptions
Identify Assumptions
that need to be true to
achieve the vision
3) Build a Series
of tests to
validate
assumptions
4) Learning metrics
Identify and track
leading indicators and
validate learnings
5) Pivot or
Persevere
Adjust strategy
based on
validated
learnings
Its moving leaders from playing Caesar with their thumbs up and down on every idea to-instead-
putting in the culture and the systems so that the teams can move and innovate at the speed of
the experimentation system- Scott Cook (Founder of Intuit)

The concept of innovation
Accounting:
The Three Learning Milestones
1. Establish the baseline (MVP)/
Customer behave now.
2. Tune the engine
• Experiment
3. Pivot or persevere
4. - when experiments reach
diminishing returns it’s time to
pivot
15. • More face time
• Care that
revolves
around them
• More active
role in care
decisions
• Home care
• Configurable
tools to match
their workflow
• Integration with
existing systems
• View of patient
across care
pathway … in
and outside the
hospital
Value assumptions
Engage patients and providers together in the care
continuum
Patients seek… Providers need…

Example: Outside the hospital
Wearable patient monitoring
• Faster “step down” approach
… critical to sub-acute
• Hospital to home monitoring of
chronic patient
• Reducing re-admission rates
• Sensors : miniaturization &
low power wireless
• Distributed computing,
analytics, mobility
Care pathway optimizationDisruptive
Smart & ubiquitous
• From bedside devices to body-
worn monitoring
• Seamless data
• Continuous patient monitoring
as care standard of care
Efficient care
• Decreased adverse patient
outcome … i.e. respiratory distress)
• Decreased ICU transfers, length of
stay
• Lower overall cost
