Managing a Successful Acquisition
Successful acquisitions depend on;*
A clear strategic vision that articulates the acquisition goals and an operating
strategy that translates the vision into reality A disciplined integration
process that implements the operating strategy in a focused, resource -efficient
manner.
A change management process that leaders use to win the hearts and minds of the
employees and shape new behaviors that lead to success.

Managing a Successful Acquisition
Successful acquisitions depend on;*
A clear strategic vision that articulates the acquisition goals and an operating
strategy that translates the vision into reality A disciplined integration
process that implements the operating strategy in a focused, resource -efficient
manner.
A change management process that leaders use to win the hearts and minds of the
employees and shape new behaviors that lead to success.

Managing a Successful Acquisition
The North America Commercial Ops Organization will lead from an Integrated
Change Plan Plans to be linked with the Corporate Transition Team and plans.

replacement for or a new organization structure.
Transition teams and processes will utilize existing meeting and planning
processes.

Transition Objectives

about the acquisition process and transition timeframes. Keep people informed;
share what we know when we can. Deliver the '05 business objectives.
Engage people in the planning and transition process.
Honor the Gillette heritage; and respectfully transition to the new culture.
Continue to invest in individual and organization capability.

Customer
Pre-Acquisition Planning Phase:
Support Gillette Customer Development Teams with effective, coordinated
communication Reinforce that until the deal closes P&G must be treated as a
competitor No communication must occur with P&G without OpComm approval Assist
in regulatory/ FTC documentation requests Transition Planning & Post Acquisition
Phase:
Customer needs such as systems integration and customer agreements will be assessed

24

      






Business Performance
Evaluate Objectives to ensure alignment and focus Confirm, Modify, and Reconfirm
as necessary Reconfirm 2005 Objectives and ensure successful execution Publish
frequent Scorecard updates on business results

People / Organization - Role of Diversity
Gillette is committed to driving performance by building an inclusive and
diverse work environment A diverse and inclusive work environment increases
innovation, creativity and productivity - providing a real competitive advantage
We have some through the work of the Corporate and CONA Diversity councils but
much more can and will be done:
Multi-cultural marketing programs Increase use of minority vendors Promote more
diverse, inclusive work environment It is a critical business imperative for
both Gillette and Procter & Gamble

27

      






Legal
Lead the regulatory process and compliance Offer support to organization on
process & guidelines Systems Transition / Post Acquisition Phase:
Lead the integration of systems across the organization

Trade Communication
Until final regulatory approval, Gillette and P&G remain competitors Trade
Letter was sent from Joe Dooley to customers on 1/31/05 Do not discuss or
speculate what transition or future structure may look like You may discuss any
information which is made public by Gillette (general information about timing,
fact that deal is being reviewed by the FTC, etc.) It is a normal part of the
FTC regulatory review process for the FTC to talk with some retailers directly

scorecards/flash summaries on the state of the business Enhance access to
leaders and business performance information Collaborate (take care of one

The Stages of Change
There are 3 main stages we all go through:
1. Coming to grips with the change
2. Working it through
3. Maintaining momentum
At each stage people think, feel and act differently
The key is to understand we all move through these changes at a different pace
The goal is direct our mindset to the future, feel like we will succeed and
