Attracting and developing top talent is among Textron’s strategic priorities, and in 2002 we
made major strides in enabling employees’ continued development and helping them reach
their potential.
Our new enterprise-wide Performance Management Process is being adopted by more than
18,000 employees worldwide. It focuses on developing job-related competencies that are
critical to aligning individual performance with enterprise- and business-specific objectives.
Strengthening our organization also requires aggressive, enterprise-wide training and devel-
opment. In 2002, several new programs rolled out across the organization. Close to 700
employees participated in our new Textron Six Sigma Black Belt, Green Belt and Champion
training programs. Armed with new skills, they’re now positioned for increased career mobili-
ty across the enterprise. In addition, more than 500 employees participated in various
Textron leadership training programs, including those hosted by leading educational institu-
tions such as The Wharton School and The American Graduate School of International
Management at Thunderbird. In 2003, we will introduce our new Developing Leadership
Excellence Program aimed at helping Textron managers develop competencies that are
integral to the achievement of Textron’s strategic priorities. This highly customized, regional
training program gives our managers the opportunity to learn from each other while gaining
a deeper understanding of the company through Textron business case studies.
