PMINJ 2002 October Meeting

Abstract

With a ring of the bell on December 13, 2001, Prudential Financial, Inc. (PFI) completed what was then the largest initial public offering (IPO) in insurance industry history. This marked the conclusion of a project that began in February 1998 when the company’s Board of Directors authorized management to explore demutualization – the process of converting to a publicly traded company. Prudential’s road to Wall Street required a vast coordination effort requiring the constant and disciplined application of strong project management skills to a unique process. There were over 100 subprojects that required the diverse talents and contributions of more than 1,000 employees throughout the world and across all lines of businesses.
