"can GE have a culture that embraces both Six Sigma AND innovation? These are difficult mental models to integrate, usually leading to the creation of "Skunkworks" and other such deviant outposts in which to incubate innovation. This kind of "creative ghetto" then presents other problems of idea acceptance, product integration, and just plain jealousy. I think Immelt's on the right track, but balancing these two cultural streams will be a significant management challenge."
