No, I cannot imagine Honeywell investing 10s of Billions of dollars on a single aerospace technology as a bet on the future. They are not led by Elon Musk.
Furthermore, Honeywell is not alone in the traditional Aerospace front as far as new technology's slowing end game. Think about it- 50 years ago, each new technological advancement made multiplier gains in power, efficiency, safety, functionality- something of economic value. Today? Aerospace advancements make 1% gains.
Until the industry makes the leap to full autonomy or hydrogen powered A/C, there will not be great big bets. And, like it or not, in today's world those leaps are fully in the hands of bureaucrats and regulations (unlike 50 years ago, when industry controlled new technology insertion).
Among all the agita and gnashing of teeth, what I find most notable is the abject failure of senior leadership to accept technical risks. In the words of a former Chief Engineer at Tempe, the goodness of the products we produce is nice, but what ultimately matters is the closing price of the company stock on Friday afternoon. How horribly short-sighted.
As a glaring counter-example of backbone, instestinal fortitude, and plain (I'm sure this word will be edited) ballsiness absent in today's HON leadership, around 1950 the leadership at Pratt & Whitney realized that their survival lay in the hands of jet engines for commercial aircraft propulsion. To develop reliable and affordable jet engines while still maintaining piston engine production meant investing huge sums of money in acreage, facilities, and people. The parent company, United Aircraft Corporation, took a HUGE risk and gambled somewhere between half and two-thirds of their market capitalization on this new technology. Yes, they read the tea leaves correctly and of course they were encouraged (if not strong-armed) by Boeing, but it was UAC's gamble at the end of the day and they committed to it. The gamble clearly paid off and paved the way for 2+ generations of technical achievements and gainful employment for tens of thousands of workers in CT and FL.
Can anyone imagine today's HON corporate or even division leadership taking such a technical risk?
I guess it’s time to do the reorg trick.
Whenever the gig is up, what’s the solution. Reorg where they give more power to incompetents especially if Indians. (Because… only Indians know technology off course) the lackeys of the India management are also rewarded until they are themselves put aside.
We live in blessed times in HBT where we learn from our masters and their lackeys in all matters of technology.
Lol, It is funny to see the newer folks learn.
Nothing has changed for fifty years. If you didn’t see it then you just weren’t one of the cool boys. Doom gloom bust and bo-m. Only constant is that you are the wage slave
Hmm that one is not the worst. Wait until you’re in an org where you need 45 days to place a 20 feet electrical cable…. Day 1 think about the cable… what is a cable? Day 2 should it be 3.0 ? And the days go by each with deep discussions. Did I mention the team was from India? .
The curtain is slowly rising to expose the fakery going on for years.
Triple constraint. Scope, schedule, resources. You can only fix two at any point. Pick.
How many times have you heard Honeywell leaders say “no schedule relief” as they mess with resources and increase scope.
Just make believe. They know.
Believe me, due to the current Climategate Honeywell is cutting budgets in every business unit. Which is a shame as wallstreet finally noticed we just sell legacy hardware.
Meant to say "Paid OT" (back before 2000)
Poor planning by management comes at the expense of the employee. It all started when they took OT away.
