DP3. Fortune 500 Project: "Improving Utility of Mainstream Products Through Participatory Development"
|
James Leahy |
Over the next 5 years, through our Fortune 500 project,
the T2RERC and its partners will implement a practice we call "Participatory
Development" (PD). Participatory Development is designed to communicate
the philosophy of involving all consumers in all phases
of product design and development to our nation's largest and most influential
corporations - those Fortune 500 companies producing new household products
for consumers. These companies are continually re-designing their products
to respond to customer needs and stay competitive in the marketplace.
Our message will be that they can expand their markets by considering
the needs of people with various levels of functional limitations, when
they are designing new mainstream consumer products.
