Trian Partners Activist Presentation Deck
Nelson Peltz Will Propose a Board-Led Study on the Lack of
Breakthroughs
Key Questions to Address Regarding Innovation
1) Where are breakdowns occurring from a process perspective: Resource
allocation? Governance on decision making (i.e., corporate vs category, global vs
local)? Personnel?
2) Is P&G spending enough of its R&D on Research, or is spending
disproportionately on Development of product line extensions and reformulations?
3) Did the Company diminish its R&D competency when it implemented "Connect
and Develop" years ago - supplementing internal research with outside partners
(e.g., crowd-sourcing)?
4) Are outside partners reticent to bring best ideas to P&G despite P&G's scale
advantage because of its perceived bureaucracy and difficulty incubating and
developing ideas?
