Summary document composed by Peter F. Drucker on a P&G position paper. Drucker suggests optimizing P&G's intellectual capital, rather than its market capital, stating that the perfection of the P&G system has resulted in company rigidity, bringing about P&G's and the individual employee's overspecialization and narrowness. To correct this condition, Drucker recommends P&G disseminate the individual employee's information and knowledge throughout the company and suggests that reporting to supervisors, who would then report to upper levels of management, would be an effective way to accomplish this task; build new experimental approaches based on information that comes out of such reports; and permit and encourage employees to allocate themselves to where they want to be within a company to encourage productivity and growth.
Drucker, Peter F. (Peter Ferdinand), 1909-2005 Procter & Gamble Company
