Whether evaluating and rewarding people, creating an annual plan, implementing a strategy deployment process, visually managing results in factories and offices, or linking value streams, this common system ensures that all of our businesses are disciplined and focused as one connected body, on achieving our corporate objectives of sustainable, profitable growth and strong free cash flow. We believe that the successful deployment of this powerful system, in concert with strategic acquisitions, is the most important reason behind our ability to grow.
