itability and accountability to shareholders, quality of services and products, and the satisfaction of customers, all within a fast-changing industry. “Excellence demands we define a path of contin- uous improvement, constantly challenging existing processes. It also requires us to embrace change so we are in the right place when new opportuni- ties open up. Excellence also means attracting the best talent in the marketplace and giving them the skills and opportunities they need to become high- achievers,” Boethel shares. He describes the work environment as one in which “ideas are free to fly, diversity programs cap- ture the strengths of thought rather than ethnicity, and mentoring and training programs take careers to new heights. As one example, Siemens’ Sales Development Program is designed to build a pipe- line of talent to fulfill organizational needs through

campus recruitment. The struc- tured, 12-month program teaches recent graduates fundamental busi- ness skills through instructor-led classes, carefully selected men- tors, and on-the-job activities. Then at the managerial level, managers from all over the world convene every year in a different location, resulting in a motivational experience that ultimately benefits customers indirectly. “These manag- ers within the company have various backgrounds, differing educations, and different and unique ethnic backgrounds,” Boethel says. “The reason we do that is so they can learn as a cohesive group not only from course instructors, trainers and coaches, but moreover from each other. What results is an employee


population that appreciates cultural differences and is able to factor that appreciation into our strategy and the business decisions that we make every day.” Siemens has been ranked in the top 50 in Busi-


nessWeek’s “Best Places to Launch a Career” and recognized by Diversity/Careers in Engineering & Information Technology as the 2008 and 2009 “Best Diversity Company.” The third value, innovative, translates to creating sustainable value.


“Our goal is to become a valued business partner for our customers,” Boethel says, again stressing that sustainability means reliability, and reliability means thought-leadership and constant change. “Constant change” doesn’t mean flip-flopping on strategic initiatives or customer commitments. But one thing is does mean is leading the market with technology that anticipates needs. “Our goal is to be a trendsetter in all of our busi-


nesses. We measure the success of our innovations by our customers’ success. We constantly renew our portfolio to provide answers to societies’ most vital challenges, enabling us to create sustainable value,” Boethel says. And that speaks to how Siemens goes to market: through a highly structured business model that focuses on results.


“Our high-performance culture and regimented


business model are unique within the security indus- try,” Boethel describes. “Siemens is a very process- driven organization. Virtually everything that we do is measured. We take a very methodical approach
