1: Every project is assigned one of three projectization levels-functional matrix, balanced matrix, or project matrix. We try to avoid the purely functional approach, and we use a venture (spinout) only when absolutely necessary. Players understand projectization.

2. We recognize the values of design. To the extent appropriate, we actively integrate both industrial (esthetic/functional) designers and engineering (technical/functional) designers as key team players.

3. Our technical/marketing/manufacturing people are close together physically. Preferably, they are no farther than a five-minute walk apart.

4. We try to anticipate ways in which customers will misuse a new product, we develop legally sufficient warnings for those misuses, and we keep records relevant to all aspects of product liability.

5. Attention is given to any potential conflicts between the ethics of an operation and the ethics of the people working on it. Attempts are made to resolve these.
