What does the GE four blocker look like?

Answer 1

There was (and probably still is) a common document there called the "four-blocker," which is a single PowerPoint slide divided into quadrants. For most purposes (primarily status reporting), only one-slide presentations were allowed. Managers had to create four-blockers constantly in order to present information to higher level managers, who would in turn create their own four-blockers for going even higher. If it did not fit within one of the quadrants on a single slide, it didn't make it in.
