Procter & Gamble : Organization 2005 and Beyond

Conclusion

Organization 2005 was expected to be concluded by June 2003. After the ouster of Jager, Lafley had shifted the focus from new initiatives to advancing the market share of big brands in developed markets. Lafley believed that overall, Organization 2005 had brought the much-needed discipline to P&G’s global marketing efforts. But he believed a lot of work remained in convincing people that the experience in running the program had a broad application. Lafley believed that P&G could innovate and cut costs while growing profits by double digit margins every year. But Lafley realized the same basic question that had prompted Jager to start Organization 2005 remained: With already dominant market positions in mature markets, how much more growth could P&G really generate?
