The document summarizes a presentation given by Andre Convents from P&G Connect & Develop on October 20th, 2006. The presentation discusses P&G's mission to provide superior quality products that improve consumers' lives and how they must innovate, connect externally, and commercialize to achieve this. It highlights challenges like decreasing scientific talent pools and increasing dispersion of research globally. P&G is addressing this by establishing a network of stakeholders that includes global ventures, SMEs, universities, and more to turbocharge innovation through external connections. Examples provided include licensing the Swiffer name to drive cloth consumption and leveraging a Japanese cleaning product concept for the US market.

29. Example #2: Spin Brush
Leveraging a Cooked Business Idea
Background
• SpinBrush started in U.S. (one of about 200 toothbrush variants in
the market).
• Dr. Johns came to P&G to license Crest name.
www.mastersininnovation.com
• Within a year Dr. Johns created the concept and landed in
WalMart. The inventors are from the toy industry. The brush is a
reapplication of the “Spin Pop” toy.
• Dr. Johns was at .5 Million units/month when contacted P&G. P&G
is currently running flat out and selling about 6 million units per
month with considerable white space.
• We purchased them 5 months after first contact.
Learnings
• Dr. Johns SpinBrush was a re-application of Spin Pop, a lollipop
SpinBrush
device developed by a toy manufacturer.
“How can we find more

35. To Conclude
With customer needs clearly identified, innovation
•
becomes the critical parameter in assuring sustainable
growth for all involved.
www.mastersininnovation.com
• Networks are increasingly becoming the new enabler
of innovation.
• Europe is under-represented in the new networks,
which are mostly web-based.
• P&G‘s C+D concept has reapplication potential for
industries that want to tap into a worldwide knowledge
pool.
