  16. Historically: Life was good, and life was simple when we did it all, or nearly all, ourselves. 90-85% of our innovation was done in house “If it had to be invented – it could be invented here!”

  28. A Decade of Open Innovation: Lessons Learned 1. Why We Got Started 2. Vision vs Reality 3. Culture, Structure and Perception 4. Top Tips From Our Journey 5. Discussion

  29. 1. Water Won’t Flow Through Broken Pipes It doesn’t matter how connected you are outside….if your internal networks are broken . . . • From the start, invest in your internal pipeline • Then NEVER stop building • And ensure your pipeline starts and ends with the business strategy (prevents “shiny new object” distractions, wasted effort and potential new partner burn out) “Our first ‘technology scouts’ were disconnected from business leadership and strategy. They were doing good work. But little took root. We wasted a lot of time.”

  30. 2. Pick Your Partner with Care, then Trust Their Expertise If you could do as well yourself, you wouldn’t have partnered with them! • Look beyond the numbers before singing • Set clear expectations, timelines • Then give them room to deliver • Avoid incessant meddling • Do they really need your advice • Are your questions helping or hampering “We took it up to our CEO’s office and it leaked all over his desk. We had a few challenges.”

  31. 3. Think Broadly . . . Think Broadly . . . VERY Broadly… ASAP When we stretched our own definition of “open innovation,” we delivered some great wins for us, our partners and consumers • Pampers Kandoo • • Business was in decline, as risk of dying • • Partnership grew +40% in first year; 60% to date • More innovation and investment coming • TradeMarkOutlicensing Agreement • Combined: R&D • P&G: Brand Equity, Product Concept • Their: Manufacturing, Marketing, Sales and Distribution

  32. 3.

  33. 4. Be Open to New Business Models (Service) Service is both a growing industry, and a open opportunity for us to touch and improve more consumers’ lives

  34. 4. Be Open to New Business Models (Service) • Tide Dry Cleaners – Service • • Growing our brand through a new business model (franchise) • While meeting an identified consumer need • Brings P&G consumer understanding and quality to a new • business sector • • 6 locations; agreements for 100 more in 5 years • Franchising Agreement • Combined: Marketing • P&G: Brand Equity, Product Concept, R&D, Processes • Their: Sales, Staffing, Business Ownership

  35. 4. Be Open to New Business Models (Service) • Art of Shaving – Service • • Grew a declining brand outside the Company • • Business grew +40% in first year; 60% to date • More innovation and investment coming • Equity Investor, turned Owner • Invested to learn more about the high-end male consumer • Partnership and business grew • We acquired the business in 2009 • 36 stores are now 60, with 17 more in the works

  36. 5. Share What You Can’t Use, Then Focus on the Big Win When we were able to really let go and open up, the rewards were so much greater “Leaving on a shelf a technology that could potentially improve the diets and health of millions of people went against our core.”

  37. 5. Share What You Can’t Use, Then Focus on the Big Win • • We had the technology • Tropicana had the reach • Technology Out Licensing Agreement • P&G: R&D • Their: Brand Equity, Sales, Marketing, Distribution

  38. 5. Share What You Can’t Use, Then Focus on the Big Win • Glad ForceFlex • • We had the technology • Glad had the manufacturing and market share • Ongoing innovation and new products • For Clorox, Glad sales doubled; making it • Clorox’s second billion-dollar-brand. • Joint Venture • Access to pipeline of innovation • P&G resources work on Glad R&D • Combined: Product concept • P&G: R&D and technology • Their: Manufacturing, Brand Equity, Sales, Marketing, Distribution

  39. 6. Pick Your People, then Place them with Care They may be your brightest innovation star, but that doesn’t mean they will be helpful at the negotiation table! • Open Innovation calls for a special skill set • Multi-functional, experienced internally, comfortable externally • Must have “Stroke” • 25% continuity; 75% rotational “Our best and brightest scientists haven’t always been the best at building partnerships! This calls for a special skill set.”

  40. 7. Sometimes More is Better The past was one:one /// The present is one:many The future is likely many:many “We have several projects that involved multiple partners all working in collaboration on one end result. It’s powerful work.”

  41. 8. Sometimes More is NOT Better . . . Our list of networks is now focused, honed and regularly weeded • We began by building a really robust, global network • But maintenance takes time • We now hone those that have the greatest likely hood, track record of results • Technology cannot replace personal connections “You can’t do Open Innovation in Cyberspace. In the end, this really is about relationships and trust.”

  42. 9. Invest in your Partnership. . . Helping them, often at some point, also helps you. “In unexpected ways, it comes back as a benefit.”
