The R&D department of an international organisation had far too many projects in the pipeline.
A group session assessed the economic potential of the individual projects given the probable R&D resources which were likely to be required. The Successive Principle means that competent assessments can be made even in respect of such highly uncertain outcomes.
A project which was way down on the list of priorities emerged as a potential winner. It was therefore given high priority and later became the company’s greatest commercial success so far.
