46565
2133
既然我们在南美洲，
01:00
let's go to Lima in Peru,
12
48698
3144
我们就来说说秘鲁的利马市吧，
01:03
a region with high humidity
13
51842
2624
那里空气湿度很高，
01:06
that receives only one inch
of rainfall each year.

01:29
The Peruvians are amazing.

秘鲁人真不可思议，
01:31
They can literally create

For the past seven years,

过去的7年中，
01:38
I have met and studied
hundreds of entrepreneurs

我与来自印度、中国、非洲和南美的
数百名创业家进行交流学习，

01:42
in India, China, Africa and South America,
and they keep amazing me.
and they keep amazing me.
22
90252

他们一直让我感到惊奇。
他们中有许多人从没上过学。
01:48
Many of them did not go to school.
23
96840
3201
01:52
They don't invent stuff in big R&D labs.
24
100041
3476
也不在实验室搞研究发明，
01:55
The street is the lab.
25
103517
3033
街道就是他们的实验室。
他们为什么要这么做？
01:59
Why do they do that?
26
107480
1579
因为他们没有那种我们唾手可得，
早就习以为常的基础资源，
早就习以为常的基础资源，
02:01
Because they don't have the kind
of basic resources we take for granted,
of basic resources we take for granted,
27
109059
3467
02:04
like capital and energy,
28
112526
1841
如资金、能源，
02:06
and basic services
like healthcare and education
like healthcare and education
29
114367
2948
而且，那些区域的医疗、教育等的
02:09
are also scarce in those regions.
30
117315
3643
基础设施都很匮乏。
02:12
When external resources are scarce,
you have to go within yourself
you have to go within yourself
31
120958
5987
当外部的资源稀少时，
你就不得不靠自己去挖掘
最丰富的资源——智慧，
最丰富的资源——智慧，
02:18
to tap the most abundant
resource, human ingenuity,

02:22
and use that ingenuity to find clever ways
to solve problems with limited resources.

并且以人类的聪明才智，
来利用有限的资源巧妙地解决问题。

02:29
In India, we call it Jugaad.
34
137700
4286
在印度，我们称之为Jugaad。
02:33
Jugaad is a Hindi word
35
141986
2176
Jugaad是印地语词汇，
02:36
that means an improvised fix,
a clever solution born in adversity.
a clever solution born in adversity.
36
144162
6028
其本意是灵光一现的办法，
即在逆境中产生的绝妙的解决办法。
即在逆境中产生的绝妙的解决办法。
02:42
Jugaad solutions are not
sophisticated or perfect,
sophisticated or perfect,
37
150190
4634
Jugaad并不复杂，也不完美，
02:46
but they create more value at lower cost.
38
154824
2799
但会以更低的成本创造更多的价值。
02:50
For me, the entrepreneurs
who will create Jugaad solutions
who will create Jugaad solutions
39
158353
3459
在我看来，那些实现Jugaad的创业家。
02:53
are like alchemists.
40
161812
1974
就像炼金士。
他们能够神奇地将逆境转化为机遇，
02:55
They can magically transform
adversity into opportunity,
adversity into opportunity,
41
163786
4063
02:59
and turn something of less value
into something of high value.
into something of high value.
42
167849
5501
将低价值的东西转化为高价值的东西。
03:05
In other words, they mastered the art
of doing more with less,
of doing more with less,
43
173350
6968
换句话说，他们精通“由少及多”的艺术，
03:12
which is the essence of frugal innovation.
44
180318
4969
而这正是“低成本创新”的精华所在。
03:17
Frugal innovation is the ability
to create more economic and social value
to create more economic and social value
45
185287
5630
“低成本创新”是一种利用较少资源
创造更大经济和社会价值的
创造更大经济和社会价值的
03:22
using fewer resources.
46
190917
3360
创新方法。
03:26
Frugal innovation is not about making do;
it's about making things better.
it's about making things better.
47
194277
5827
“低成本创新”的重点不在于创造出
事物本身，而在于让事物变得更好。

03:33
Now I want to show you how,
across emerging markets,
across emerging markets,
48
201238

现在，我将为你们展现，
不同行业的创业家和公司是如何更广泛地
采用”低成本创新“的方法，

03:38
entrepreneurs and companies are adopting
frugal innovation on a larger scale

带给那些收入不高却心胸远大的人们。
03:52
Let's first go to China,
52
220960
2220
我们把目光先移到中国吧。
03:55
where the country's largest

4017
中国最大的IT服务商Neusoft
03:59
has developed a telemedicine solution

开发了远程医疗解决方案，
04:02
to help doctors in cities
remotely treat old and poor patients

56
234722
1831
04:08
This solution is based on
simple-to-use medical devices

57
236553

该方案采用简单易学的医疗设施，
04:13
that less qualified health workers
like nurses can use in rural clinics.

58
241198

04:18
China desperately needs
these frugal medical solutions

59
246355
4015
中国急需这种“低成本创新”方案，
04:22
because by 2050 it will be home
to over half a billion senior citizens.
to over half a billion senior citizens.
60
250370
7198
因为到2050年，
中国老年人口的数量将超过五亿。
中国老年人口的数量将超过五亿。
04:29
Now let's go to Kenya,
61
257568
2948
我们再看看肯尼亚，
04:32
a country where half the population
uses M-Pesa, a mobile payment solution.
uses M-Pesa, a mobile payment solution.
62
260516
5991
肯尼亚半数居民在使用一种名为
M-Pesa的手机支付服务。
M-Pesa的手机支付服务。
04:38
This is a great solution
for the African continent
for the African continent
63
266507
2740
该服务对与非洲居民而言极为重要，
04:41
because 80 percent of Africans
don't have a bank account,
don't have a bank account,
64
269247
4085
因为80%的非洲居民没有银行账户。
不可思议的是，其他颠覆性的商业模式
04:45
but what is exciting is that M-Pesa
is now becoming the source
is now becoming the source
65
273332
4699
04:50
of other disruptive business models
in sectors like energy.
in sectors like energy.
66
278031
4619
也基于M-Pesa发展起来，例如能源行业。
04:54
Take M-KOPA, the home solar solution
that comes literally in a box
that comes literally in a box
67
282650
5818
比如M-KOPA，一个家庭太阳能利用方案，
具有盒子状外形，

05:00
that has a solar rooftop panel,
three LED lights,

a solar radio, and a cell phone charger.
69
293463
3224
太阳能收音机，及手机充电器。
05:08
The whole kit, though, costs 200 dollars,
which is too expensive for most Kenyans,

整套设备售价200美金，
对于大多肯尼亚人而言太贵了，

05:14
and this is where mobile telephony
can make the solution more affordable.

71

但正是手机让人们担负得起这项技术。
05:20
Today, you can buy this kit by making
an initial deposit of just 35 dollars,

如今，要买这套设备，
你只需一次性支付35美金，

05:27
and then pay off the rest by making
a daily micro-payment of 45 cents

73
315011
5387
余下的钱可利用手机每天支付45美分
05:32
using your mobile phone.
74
320398
2392
这笔小钱即可，
05:34
Once you've made 365 micro-payments,
the system is unlocked,
the system is unlocked,
75
322790
4922
持续付款达365天，系统就会解锁，
05:39
and you own the product and you start
receiving clean, free electricity.
receiving clean, free electricity.
76
327713
6245
你将完全拥有这个产品，
开始享受免费的、清洁的电能。

05:45
This is an amazing solution for Kenya,
77
333958
2322
这对于肯尼亚而言是
一个不可思议的解决方案，

05:48
where 70 percent of people
live off the grid.

78
336280

要知道，有70%的肯尼亚人
过着没有电的生活。

05:52
This shows that with frugal innovation
79
340940
3188
该案例体现了对“低成本创新”而言，
05:56
what matters is that you take what is
most abundant, mobile connectivity,
most abundant, mobile connectivity,
80
344128
4992
重要的是借助丰富的资源——手机服务，
06:01
to deal with what is scarce,
which is energy.
which is energy.
81
349120
5071
来解决匮乏的事物——电能。
06:06
With frugal innovation,
the global South is actually catching up

借助”低成本创新“，南半球正在缩小
与北半球的差距，

06:10
and in some cases
even leap-frogging the North.

某些地区甚至已经实现了超越。
06:14
Instead of building expensive hospitals,
China is using telemedicine

06:19
to cost-effectively treat

Frugal innovation is diametrically opposed
to the way we innovate in the North.
to the way we innovate in the North.

“低成本创新”的思路与
北半球创新的思路截然相反。

我住在硅谷，

06:41
where we keep chasing
the next big technology thing.

90

06:44
Think of the iPhone 5, 6, then 7, 8.
91
392934
4644
想想iPhone5，6，然后7，8吧。
06:49
Companies in the West spend
billions of dollars investing in R&D,
billions of dollars investing in R&D,
92
397578
4389
西方的国家在研发上投入几十亿美金，
06:53
and use tons of natural resources
to create ever more complex products,
to create ever more complex products,
93
401967
4464
耗费无数的自然资源
创造越发复杂的产品，
创造越发复杂的产品，
06:58
to differentiate their brands
from competition,
from competition,
94
406431
3336
只为让自己的产品跟竞争对手有所不同，
07:01
and they charge customers
more money for new features.
more money for new features.
95
409767
4087
并让消费者为其产品的新功能而掏腰包。
07:05
So the conventional business model
in the West is more for more.
in the West is more for more.
96
413854
6241
因此，西方传统的商业模式是
“投入更多，获取更多”。
“投入更多，获取更多”。
07:13
But sadly, this more for more model
is running out of gas, for three reasons:
is running out of gas, for three reasons:
97
421225
5519
但不幸的是，这种模式几乎气数殆尽，
有三个原因：
有三个原因：
07:18
First, a big portion
of customers in the West
of customers in the West
98
426744
4146
其一，由于购买力逐渐减弱，
07:22
because of the diminishing
purchasing power,
purchasing power,
99
430890
2982
西方国家的大多消费者
07:25
can no longer afford
these expensive products.
these expensive products.
100
433872
2830
将担负不起这些昂贵的产品。
07:28
Second, we are running out of
natural water and oil.
natural water and oil.
101
436702
5118
其二，地球上的天然水资源和
石油正走向枯竭，
石油正走向枯竭，
07:33
In California, where I live,
water scarcity is becoming a big problem.
water scarcity is becoming a big problem.
102
441820
3901
我住在加利福尼亚，
这里水资源缺乏日益严重。
这里水资源缺乏日益严重。
07:37
And third, most importantly,
103
445721
2617
其三，也是最重要的一点，
07:40
because of the growing income disparity
104
448338
2375
西方国家富人阶层和中产阶级的
07:42
between the rich
and the middle class in the West,
and the middle class in the West,
105
450713
3060
收入差距越来越大，
07:45
there is a big disconnect
between existing products and services
between existing products and services
106
453773
3418
因此，现有的产品和服务与用户需求之间，
07:49
and basic needs of customers.
107
457191
2181
产生了巨大的缺口。
07:51
Do you know that today,
108
459372
1898
你是否知道，
07:53
there are over 70 million Americans
today who are underbanked,
today who are underbanked,
109
461270
4766
如今，超过七千万美国人
并未享有银行服务，
并未享有银行服务，
07:58
because existing banking services
110
466036
3322
因为现有的银行服务制度
08:01
are not designed to address
their basic needs.
their basic needs.
111
469358
4258
并不能解决他们最基本的生活需求。
08:05
The prolonged economic crisis
in the West is making people think
in the West is making people think
112
473616
3892
西方国家持续的经济危机让人们感觉到，
08:09
that they are about to lose
the high standard of living
the high standard of living
113
477508
3274
他们高质量的生活将不再有保障，
08:12
and face deprivation.
114
480782
2856
将离他们远去。
08:15
I believe that the only way we can sustain
growth and prosperity in the West
growth and prosperity in the West
115
483638
4458
我相信，维持西方国家经济发展
和社会繁荣的
和社会繁荣的
08:20
is if we learn to do more with less.
116
488096
3501
唯一办法就是学习“由少及多”的理念。
08:23
The good news is,
that's starting to happen.
that's starting to happen.
117
491597
3038
好消息是，该理念已经被付诸实践。
08:26
Several Western companies
are now adopting frugal innovation
are now adopting frugal innovation
118
494635
3515
一些西方公司正采用”低成本创新“的思想，
08:30
to create affordable products
for Western consumers.
for Western consumers.
119
498150
4365
为西方国家消费者设计产品。
08:34
Let me give you two examples.
120
502515

14:24
I gave tons of examples of frugal
innovators from around the world,
innovators from around the world,
216
852027
4273
全世界范围内“低成本创新者”的
例子不计其数，
例子不计其数，
14:28
but the question is, how do you go about
adopting frugal innovation?
adopting frugal innovation?
217
856300
4028
但问题是，关于“低成本创新”，
你能做些什么？
你能做些什么？
14:32
Well, I gleaned out three principles
from frugal innovators around the world
from frugal innovators around the world
218
860328
3595
我从他们身上获得启发，归纳出三个要点，
14:35
that I want to share with you
219
863923
1746
跟你们分享一下，
14:37
that you can apply
in your own organization
in your own organization
220
865669
2271
你可以把它们带入你的组织中，
14:39
to do more with less.
221
867940
2709
实现“由少及多”。
14:42
The first principle is: Keep it simple.
222
870649
4180
第一个原则是，坚持简易。
14:46
Don't create solutions
to impress customers.
to impress customers.
223
874829
3041
不要设计那些只为惊艳用户的产品。
14:49
Make them easy enough to use
and widely accessible,
and widely accessible,
224
877870
3251
让你的产品易于操作，随手可得，
14:53
like the C.T. scanner we saw in China.
225
881121
3007
就像中国的CT扫描仪。
14:56
Second principle:
Do not reinvent the wheel.
Do not reinvent the wheel.
226
884128
4191
第二个原则：不要重新发明轮子
（白费力气做重复工作）。
（白费力气做重复工作）。
15:00
Try to leverage existing resources
and assets that are widely available,
and assets that are widely available,
227
888319
4086
努力尝试去利用那些现有的丰富资源，
15:04
like using mobile telephony
to offer clean energy
to offer clean energy
228
892405
3994
就像用移动电话实现清洁能源的利用，
15:08
or Mom and Pop stores
to offer banking services.
to offer banking services.
229
896399
3692
或者像借助杂货店提供银行服务。
15:12
Third principle is:
Think and act horizontally.
Think and act horizontally.
230
900091
4290
第三个原则：横向思考与行动。
15:16
Companies tend to scale up vertically
231
904381
3186
企业总是垂直化地扩张，
15:19
by centralizing operations
in big factories and warehouses,
in big factories and warehouses,
232
907567
3530
在大型工厂和仓库内集中生产运营，
15:23
but if you want to be agile and deal
with immense customer diversity,
with immense customer diversity,
233
911097
4156
但如果你想灵活的服务多元化的客户，
15:27
you need to scale out horizontally
using a distributed supply chain
using a distributed supply chain
234
915253
4799
你就需要横向扩张，
15:32
with smaller manufacturing
and distribution units,
and distribution units,
235
920052
2854
就像之前提到的孟加拉乡村银行，
以小型生产和分销单元
以小型生产和分销单元
15:34
like Grameen Bank has shown.
236
922906
4258
串起的分布式供应链。
15:39
The South pioneered frugal innovation
out of sheer necessity.

237
927164
5215
南半球因迫切的实际需求，
引领着“低成本创新”革命。
引领着“低成本创新”革命。
15:44
The North is now learning to do
more and better with less
more and better with less
238
932379
4305
北半球因面临资源限制，
15:48
as it faces resource constraints.
239
936684
3274
正学习如何“由少及多”和“由少及优”。
15:51
As an Indian-born French national
who lives in the United States,
who lives in the United States,
240
939958
5363
作为一个住在美国，生于印度的法国人，
15:57
my hope is that we transcend
this artificial North-South divide
this artificial North-South divide
241
945321
6381
我希望能够消除南北半球的人为隔阂，
16:03
so that we can harness
the collective ingenuity

242
951702
2341
让全世界的智慧
16:06
of innovators from around the world
243
954043
2354
相互碰撞，

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Navi Radjou - Innovation strategistDrawing inspiration from frugal innovators in emerging markets, Navi Radjou helps businesses with limited resources discover unexpected ways to succeed.
Why you should listen
In the best-selling book Jugaad Innovation, Navi Radjou and his co-authors borrow the Hindi word for improvised solutions to illustrate how organizations can hurdle stubborn challenges with quick thinking, innovative planning and entrepreneurial agility to deliver greater value to clients and consumers worldwide.
Radjou believes that “frugal innovation,” inspired by companies in emerging markets such as India and China, is gradually being adopted in Western economies, and that it "promises to become a unifying element in North-South cooperation in an increasingly interconnected globally economy".
A fellow at Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge, Radjou is a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Design Innovation and a columnist at the Harvard Business Review.
