Our Approach
Committed to continuous improvement
Accelerating impact through the Danaher Business System
The Danaher Business System (DBS) is the heartbeat of Danaher. It’s our system of continuous improvement and the culture that makes it work.
The DBS innovation engine
Innovation is the outcome of the right strategy, processes, and culture—and our rigorous framework encompasses it all. The DBS Innovation Engine brings our innovation strategy, organization, talent, and culture to life.
Strategic framework
We approach innovation with a clear, long-term growth mindset that enables us to formulate how to support our most critical goals.
Innovation model
Innovation defines our future, and this is evident throughout Danaher. Collaboration across departments, businesses, and business groups is encouraged to solicit diverse perspectives and promote both organic and inorganic growth.
Advanced tools
We leverage tools that help us uncover and prioritize customer problems, finding solutions through products, services, and technologies.
Talent and culture
We identify the most effective, passionate leaders who live DBS and lead by example. Every associate is held to the same standards of behavior and our teams are empowered to accelerate continuous improvement in their own functions.
Growth methodology
We focus on a continuous improvement approach to understand how effectively each part of the Innovation Engine is working and to measure overall growth.
Our acquisition strategy
From adding exciting new technologies to contributing new perspectives and skills to our extended team, our focused acquisition strategy is essential as we accelerate the power of science and technology to help our customers, our companies and our shareholders.
