It is by making innovation an intimate, intentional part of the business that A. G. Lafley - the Jack Welch of the 21st century - has recently transformed Procter & Gamble from a $39 into a $76 billion dollar company that touches more than 3 billion people around the world. On the brink of collapse when he joined in 2000, it became a model for growth and innovation. In this inspiring and practical book Lafley explains how making innovation more than just a stand-alone activity enabled him to turn around growth, productivity and the bottom line. As this book shows, innovation can become a reliable and repeatable game-changer for any business in all areas of the organisation, from the CEO's desk to the everyday activities of each employee. By using new insights and easy-to-relate-to stories from P&G and other companies - describing, for example, the best way to brainstorm, and the "innovation portfolio" - this book is destined to become as influential as Good to Great and as Charan's own bestseller, Execution.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 By the late 1990s, it was clear that PG needed to win in skin care. Skin care constitutes about a quarter of the total beauty industry and has the potential to be highly profitable. Oil of Olay was struggling. It wasn’t PG’s only skincare brand, but it was by far the largest and best known. #2 PG invested in the SKII brand, Cover Girl, Pantene, Head Shoulders, and Herbal Essences. The company bought Wella and Clairol to create a position in hair styling and color. #3 The company was able to redefine what antiaging products could do. It began selling higherend, more prestigious products in a traditionally highvolume environment. It attracted consumers from both the mass and prestige channels. #4 Olay needed to look and feel the part. The packaging had to represent an aspiration, but also effectively deliver the product. Pricing had to be just right – not too high for mass consumers, but not too low for prestige consumers.
