Revamping the Corporate Culture
The Organization 2005 program made efforts to change P&G from a conservative, lethargic and bureaucratic to modern, quick-moving and internet-savvy organization. The new structure was directed towards revamping the work culture of P&G so as to focus on its new Stretch, Innovation and Speed (SIS) philosophy. Emphasizing on innovation, Jager said, "Organization 2005 is focused on one thing: leveraging P&G's innovative capability...
The Mistakes Committed
|
The Organization 2005 program faced several problems soon after its launch. Analysts were quick to comment that Jager committed a few mistakes which proved costly for P&G. For instance, Jager had made efforts in January 2000 to acquire Warner-Lambert and American Home Products. Contrary to P&G's cautious approach towards acquisitions in the 1990s, this dual acquisition would have been the largest ever in P&G's history, worth $140 billion.

Enter Lafley - Implementing Strategies To Revive P&G
In June 2000, Alan George Lafley (Lafley), a 23-year P&G veteran popularly known as 'AG,' took over as the new President and CEO of P&G. The major difference between Lafley and Jager was their 'style of functioning.' Soon after becoming CEO, Lafley rebuilt the management team and made efforts to improve P&G's operations and profitability. Lafley transferred more than half of P&G's 30 senior most officers, an unprecedented move in P&G's history. He assigned senior positions and higher roles to women...
P&G - Current StatusIn 2003, Lafley continued his efforts to make P&G more adaptable to the dynamic changes in business environment. He challenged P&G's traditional perspective that all its products should be produced in-house. In April 2003, Lafley started outsourcing the manufacturing of bar soaps (including P&G's longest existing brand, Ivory) to a Canadian manufacturer. In May 2003, IT operations were outsourced from HP. Since Lafley became CEO, P&G's outsourcing contract went up from 10% to 20%. Lafley continued to review P&G's businesses and new investments with the aim of achieving sharper focus on its core businesses, cost competitiveness and improved productivity...
