Nomination Title: Honeywell Innovations

Tell the story about what this nominated organization has achieved since January 1 2014 (up to 650 words). Focus on specific accomplishments, and relate these accomplishments to past performance or industry norms.

Honeywell innovates technologies to address some of the world’s toughest challenges such as, safety and security, energy efficiency, clean energy generation, and globalization. In fact, if Honeywell’s existing technologies were widely adopted in the United States alone, energy demand could be reduced by 20 percent to 25 percent.

The Honeywell Operating System (HOS), Functional Transformation (FT), and Velocity Product Development™ (VPD™) are internal business processes driving efficiency and service quality, bringing world-class products and services to market faster and more cost-effectively for our customers.

Honeywell Chairman and CEO, Dave Cote’s latest business model innovation is HOS Gold, which gives more decision-making power to managers at 74 units within its Aerospace, Performance Materials and Technologies, and Automation and Control Solutions strategic business groups. The idea is to foster a more entrepreneurial culture that’s responsive to customers and gets product to market faster using the support and efficiencies of a large company. Honeywell believes in big company cost effectiveness with technical and functional excellence married with small company speed and customer responsiveness.
