Abstract
In this paper, the framework and process of product design and development and commercialization of an invention are discussed. A method developed by the author, the 3P Approach (i.e. People-Product-Process), has been successfully used in design and development of innovative products. The 3P Approach connects the definition of people-centric and objective-driven design intent, identification of an ideal design direction and application of collaborative product design and development phases, in order to achieve an optimized design solution. In the paper, the author uses a case study to discuss the key concepts and methodology of the 3P Approach in the design and development of a patented product.
