Subject: Best Integrated Product Strategies: Winning Teams
Dear Colleagues
As discussed during our last town hall, I am very proud of the overall quality of IPS’ prepared by our region. We
would like to acknowledge and thank all the markets for the considerable effort that went into creating these
documents and, most importantly, to the progress made compared to last year:
 Higher level of cross‐functional team work
 Focus on “Compete‐to‐win” thinking for key brands
 Bridging IPS to budget‐planning
While all countries made substantial progress in creating solid cross‐functional product strategies, we would like to
specifically recognize a few teams whose IPS’ stood out with respect to overall quality and the following key criteria
 Insights
