Principles generate the same result each time someone uses them. Principles work when you work them. The law of gravity is a principle. <br /> <br /> Certain success principles apply to product development. Unfortunately these principles are more subtle than gravity. But they do make a difference. The average success rate new products is 56%. <a href="why-stage-gate.html">Best practice developers have a success rate of 78%</a>. <big>Use the law of gravity for new products</big><br /> Stage-Gate is a systematic way of applying the success principles. Be careful, however. Many companies have a development process. But important best practices are missing and therefore the process does not generate enough profit. Be sure to know what the <a href="stage-gate-best-practices.html">winning principles or best practices</a> are and use them properly.<br /> <br /> <br /> <strong>Stage-Gate® Drives Profit and Growth</strong><br /> Higher profitability <br /> <ul type="circle"> <li> Higher profitability of your product development programme.</li> <li> Higher success rates.</li> <li> More satisfied customers willing to pay a price premium.</li> </ul> <br /> <br /> Higher speed<br /> <ul type="circle"> <li> Shorter time from idea to profit.</li> <li> Improved timing and adherence to budget. </li> </ul> <br /> <br /> <strong>Certain best practices make product development more efficient. Some of them are:</strong><br /> - Products with a superior differential advantage. <br /> - Strong market orientation. <br /> - Solid homework before development begins. <br /> - Sharp product definition before development. <br /> - Tough Go/Kill decision points in the process. <br /> - A complete and yet flexible process with no omissions of error. <br /> Dedicated and empowered project leader and team. <br /> <br /> A high quality Stage-Gate process secures that best practices are built into each and every development project. <br /> <br /> <a href="implement.html">successful implementation of a new-product process.
