Triple Pundit and I are working with
GE to
showcase the company's long history of innovation. Last week the company released its
data visualization tool. One of the tool’s features is a compendium of GE's
annual reports that date back to 1879, when Thomas Edison scored his patent for the incandescent light bulb.
It is not often I can meld my master's degree in history with my MBA (though on the other hand, I use my business insight with the practical research my UMBC history degree taught me), so this project has been a rewarding one. Last week I started with GE's research on the
toaster and have since continued with GE's work on
light and
solar.
The
GE Technology For Good series continues for two more weeks. Take a look at the data visualization tool, GE's
innovation timeline and the amazing set of
infographics that cover topics like the future of clean energy. GE has been at the forefront of a bevy of sustainable technologies, from
water to
recycling to energy.
We at Triple Pundit and GGP would love it if you could post these articles on
Twitter with the hashtags #GE and #dataviz.
