process capabilities to our operating rigor. Over the past

ability to generate consistent organic growth. We call
it Growth as a Process, and it includes six capabilities:
1) Technology, 2) Customers, 3) Globalization,
4) Commercial Excellence, 5) Innovation and 6) Growth
Leaders. Our investment in this process is delivering
total assets and orders have grown signifi cantly, and
we are generating organic revenue growth at twice our
historic rate.
