When the World's Biggest Consumer Company Almost Collapsed

In 2000, Procter & Gamble-the titan behind Tide, Pampers, and dozens of household staples-was hemorrhaging value. Stock prices plummeted, innovation stalled, and competitors were circling. Then came A.G. Lafley, a quiet executive who did something radical: he stopped trying to do everything. Instead, he asked five brutally simple questions that would transform P&G from a struggling giant into a $100 billion powerhouse. Within nine years, sales doubled and profits quadrupled. What were those questions? They form what's called the strategic choice cascade, and they've since reshaped how companies from Apple to Starbucks think about winning. This isn't abstract theory-it's a practical blueprint for making the hard choices that separate market leaders from also-rans. Here's the uncomfortable truth: most companies don't have strategies. They have visions, plans, and best practices-but not strategies. Real strategy means deliberately choosing different activities to create unique value. It means saying no to good opportunities so you can say yes to great ones.
