Abstract

In light of the“3 P’s of Innovation” Perspective, Process and Product, the focus of this paper and presentation will be two-fold:

1) Discussion of the experiences working to make research part of the innovation perspective, process, and products for our internal digital clients, and
2) A case study of following the “3 P’s” through our work on the first preschool-targeted game for the Nintendo Wii on the market in the U.S.
