A Woman Can Do More Than The Devil

Guest post by Agnieszka Miszczyk, editor-in-chief of inzynierka.pl

There is a lot of truth to the saying that a woman can do more then the devil. Women know perfectly well how to manage a team to achieve their goal. Some say it is intuition. I'd rather say it is the matter of evolution. If one claims that women are made to stay home and bring up children, then it is clear that it comes from women's innate negotiation skills, problem and conflict solving skills and the art of motivation.

Poland to Lead

Guest post Agnieszka Jankowska, Director Government Affairs and EU Policy GE Central Europe.

As you could read in a recent guest post by a Hungarian Member of the European Parliament, who’s nickname is ‘Ms Innovation’ there, history taught us that mankind can overcome crisis either by wars or innovation. We Europeans have a bad historical record of wars in the 20^th century therefore we should happily vote for the second tool. But innovation cannot be done only by the EU, the government or by the business or by individuals on a large scale. They jointly have to change the European or our country’s culture for a more innovation friendly one. Who and how should make it happen is the next question you may ask.

Sub of the Tops

Guest post by Marian Lubieniecki, EDC Oil&Gas Manager

A company cannot function properly without qualified employees. No innovation can be introduced and no development can be made if people don’t want it or simply don’t understand it. That is why a good, well-qualified team is so important for every company. And here is the place for cooperation between business and science. According to the GE Innovation Barometer 2013 for Poland, only 31% of the Polish businesses claim that universities and schools provide a strong education for tomorrow’s innovative leaders, and 66% executives point out that students curricula should be align better with the needs of businesses. But business should not only demand from universities better curricula’s adjustment, but also support them and clearly say what they need.

Women in Engineering

Adapt to Change

Guest post by Pawel Buczek, Mechanical Systems Sub-Section Manager at the Engineering Design Center (EDC), Warsaw

The first time I heard about the Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP), a special training program designed for fresh graduates by the GE Engineering Design Center (EDC) in Warsaw in Poland, I thought it would be a real challenge and I knew another opportunity like this might not come again soon. I became one of the three young engineers with whom the program started in 2006. Today, I am Sub-Section Manager in the aviation part of the Design Center where I lead a team of almost 40 engineers responsible for various engine lines.
