DISAPPOINTMENTS & CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS

of Imation’s procurement practices.

were placed on hold due to the
Memorex acquisition.

Hope to propose a solution in 2007.

possible areas for improvement for
2007 work plan.

integration is fully completed in 2007.

LESSONS LEARNED
• Driving change can be a painful process.
• Engage everyone in the Sourcing organization in the transformation.
“Buy in” is important.
• Focus on strengths of the current organization.
– Be careful not to convey the past as “bad”.
• Do not push too hard or too fast.
• Stay engaged with key stakeholders on a regular basis.
• Recognize “terminology” difference between companies can be a
barrier.
• Be conscious of the potential for disruption from “external” factors.
– The Memorex acquisition slowed or stopped a lot of planned work
for much of 2006.
19. September 2006 Imation Confidential

people, doing a good job.

and its performance.
