Brand Realization Group Partners With P&G
Observatory Group Chosen to Develop New IT Solution
Cincinnati, OH - July 14, 2008 - Observatory Group is collaborating with The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE: PG) to create a mobile interface to facilitate the internal adoption of external opportunities.
The new application, Technology Evaluation Application Mobile (TEAM) will allow P&G's technology entrepreneurs - innovation "scouts" based around the globe - to easily and quickly enter relevant information from innovators into the mobile application, thereby facilitating the flow of key information to those decision makers in business units. The TEAM application will streamline the innovation process and precipitate faster decision making. TEAM is also independent of geography and language.
"Innovation is often essential for brand realization. The TEAM technology solution was designed to drive identified external opportunities more efficiently and rapidly throughout P&G. The benefits include reduced time-to-market cycle, enhanced real time collaboration, and decreased review-to-adoption time," said Dawn Mullican, Founder and Chief Strategic Officer of Observatory Group.
"Innovation is a key driver for growth at P&G. We chose to work with Observatory Group because of the breadth of their skill set and their ability to quickly develop and rapidly implement innovative solutions. We are also keen on supporting highly-capable local companies," said Steve Meller, Global Head of P&G Bioscience Business Development. Meller believes that the TEAM application will facilitate P&G's innovation process.
