Johanna Wellington was almost ready to approve the installation of a new gearbox in one of the wind turbines in GE Vernova’s U.S. fleet. But she paused because she was concerned about the manufacturing process of a subcomponent. The department she leads in GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business had recently changed its name from Major Components Exchange to Major Components Upgrades, a nod to its new commitment: Any new part placed on an existing turbine had to be a higher-quality component than the one it was replacing.

July 31, 2018
In a motel in Kingaroy, outback Queensland, this training session is instantly distinct from familiar corporate-education days: the facilitator has set off passionate discussions before the participants have even finished their first coffee. “What are the top dangers you have little or no control of when you’re at work?” he asks.
