BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) boasts boatloads of brands. The world's top maker of household products courts market share and billion-dollar names. It's divided into three global units: household care, beauty and grooming, and health and well-being. The firm also makes pet food and water filters and produces a soap opera. Two dozen of P&G's brands are billion-dollar sellers, including Febreze, Fusion, Always, Braun, Bounty, Charmin, Crest, Downy/Lenor, Gillette, Iams, Olay, Pampers, Pantene, Tide, and Wella, among others. P&G shed its coffee in 2008 and it's selling Pringles. Being the acquisitive type, with Clairol and Wella as notable conquests, P&G's biggest buy in company history was Gillette in 2005.

• “Most of [these] Experiment don’t work all the time, but we have to be out there, trying.” says Lafley.
