In 1994, the director of Corporate New Ventures at Procter & Gamble asked the right question …
“There has got to be a better way to clean a floor. Current mops are the cleaning equivalent of the horse drawn carriage –where’s the car?”
Innovation
71
A team of ethnographic researchers set out to watch how people cleaned their kitchen floors, and they discovered …
• Most people swept their floors before they mopped
• People assemble a system of largely unbranded products to get the job done
• Mops worked mostly by the adhesion of dirt to the mop and people seemed to spend almost as much time rinsing their mop as they did cleaning the floor
• People wore old clothes when they were cleaning because it was a dirty job
Innovation

They reviewed the videos back at the office and arrived at their epiphany moment …
• Half of the steps related to cleaning the floor
• Half of the steps related to cleaning the mop
Innovation

Lessons Learned …
• Any new product or idea must delight the consumer
• And it must actually work
