通过展示一系列具有启发性的、不寻常的有趣产品，英国品牌及设计大师保罗·班尼特阐述了设计并不需要大动作而只需解决普遍而被忽视的小问题的观点。
Paul Bennett - Designer; creative director, Ideo
As a creative director at Ideo, Paul Bennett reminds us that design need not invoke grand gestures or sweeping statements to be successful, but instead can focus on the little things in life, the obvious, the overlooked. Full bio

Hello. Actually, that's "hello" in Bauer Bodoni
0
1000
4000
你好.事实上那是Bauer Bodoni体的“你好”
00:29
for the typographically hysterical amongst us.
1
5000
3000
特意为我们当中的字体狂们解释一下
00:32
One of the threads that seems to have come through
2
8000
3000
近来传递出来的
00:35
loud and clear in the last couple of days
3
11000
3000
一条清楚明白的信息，就是
00:38
is this need to reconcile what the Big wants --
4
14000
4000
要调和“大”的需要——
00:42
the "Big" being the organization, the system, the country --
5
18000
6000
“大”指组织、系统、国家——
00:48
and what the "Small" wants -- the individual, the person.
6
24000
3000
和“小”的需要——那些个体、个人。
00:51
And how do you bring those two things together?
7
27000
2000
以及如何将两者联系起来
00:53
Charlie Ledbetter, yesterday, I thought, talked very articulately
8
29000
2000
我想，昨天，Charlie Ledbetter讲得非常清楚
00:55
about this need to bring consumers, to bring people
9
31000
4000
有必要把消费者、把人
00:59
into the process of creating things.
10
35000
2000
引入到创造事物的过程中来。
01:01
And that's what I want to talk about today.
11
37000
3000
而这就是我今天想要讲的内容。
01:04
So, bringing together the Small to help facilitate and create the Big,
12
40000
6000
那么，通过聚“小”来造“大”，
01:10
I think, is something that we believe in -- something I believe in,
13
46000
3000
我想，这是我们的信念——我的信念，
01:13
and something that we kind of bring to life
14
49000
2000
并且某种意义上我们也在实现它，
01:15
through what we do at Ideo.
15
51000
3000
通过我们在IDEO的工作。
01:18
I call this first chapter -- for the Brits in the room --
16
54000
2000
特别为在座的英国观众，我把这第一章叫做——
01:20
the "Blinding Glimpse of the Bleeding Obvious."
17
56000
2000
熟视无睹
01:22
Often, the good ideas are so staring-at-you-right-in-the-face
18
58000
4000
往往好主意近在眼前，
01:26
that you kind of miss them. And I think, a lot of times,
19
62000
3000
而你却看不到。我想，很多时候，
01:29
what we do is just, sort of, hold the mirror up to our clients, and sort of go,
20
65000
3000
我们所做的只是拿着镜子对着客户，说：
01:32
"Duh! You know, look what's really going on."
21
68000
3000
“呃，你来，看看到底怎么回事”
01:35
And rather than talk about it in the theory,
22
71000
2000
并不是坐而论道，
01:37
I think I'm just going to show you an example.
23
73000
2000
我来举个例子吧。
01:39
We were asked by a large healthcare system in Minnesota
24
75000
5000
明尼苏达的一家很大的医疗保险机构曾经找到我们
01:44
to describe to them what their patient experience was.
25
80000
3000
让我们向他们描述他们病患的体验。
01:47
And I think they were expecting --
26
83000
2000
我想他们预期的是——
01:49
they'd worked with lots of consultants before --
27
85000
1000
他们肯定找过很多咨询公司——
01:50
I think they were expecting some kind of hideous org chart
28
86000
3000
我想他们预期的是那些讨厌的组织结构图
01:53
with thousands of bubbles and systemic this, that and the other,
29
89000
4000
成百上千的气泡图和这系统那系统什么的，
01:57
and all kinds of mappy stuff.
30
93000
2000
还有各种图示
01:59
Or even worse, some kind of ghastly death-by-Powerpoint thing
31
95000
4000
或者更糟，那些吓死人的PPT
02:03
with WowCharts and all kinds of, you know, God knows, whatever.
32
99000
4000
满是Wow图表，各种鬼东西。
02:07
The first thing we actually shared with them was this.
33
103000
6000
而事实上，我们首先和他们分享的是这个：
02:13
I'll play this until your eyeballs completely dissolve.
34
109000
4000
我要播放到你们的眼珠子蹦出来为止。
02:17
This is 59 seconds into the film.
35
113000
6000
这是影片第59秒的地方。
02:23
This is a minute 59.
36
119000
5000
这是1分59秒的地方。
02:28
3:19.
37
124000
1000
3分19秒。
02:29
I think something happens. I think a head may appear in a second.
38
125000
4000
我想会有事发生。很快可能会有个头出现
02:33
5:10.
39
129000
2000
5分10秒。
02:35
5:58.
40
131000
2000
5分58秒。
02:37
6:20.
41
133000
2000
6分20秒。
02:39
We showed them the whole cut,
42
135000
1000
我们给他们放了整段的录像，
02:40
and they were all completely, what is this?
43
136000
3000
然后他们全都问，这是什么？
02:43
And the point is when you lie in a hospital bed all day,
44
139000
11000
重点是，当你躺在医院的床上一整天，
02:54
all you do is look at the roof, and it's a really shitty experience.
45
150000
4000
你能做的无非是看天花板，而这感受的确非常糟糕。
02:58
And just putting yourself in the position of the patient --
46
154000
4000
你需要把自己放在病人的角度看问题。
03:02
this is Christian, who works with us at Ideo.
47
158000
2000
这是Christian，我们在Ideo的同事。
03:04
He just lay in the hospital bed,
48
160000
1000
他就这么躺在医院的病床上，
03:05
and, kind of, stared at the polystyrene ceiling tiles
49
161000
3000
盯着聚苯乙烯的天花板
03:08
for a really long time.
50
164000
1000
很长很长时间。
03:09
That's what it's like to be a patient in the hospital.
51
165000
3000
住院病人的感觉就是这样的。
03:12
And they were sort, you know, blinding glimpse of bleeding obvious.
52
168000
3000
而他们对此却有点视而不见。
03:15
Oh, my goodness. So, looking at the situation
53
171000
3000
天哪，从当事人的角度
03:18
from the point of view of the person out --
54
174000
3000
来重新审视这情形——
03:21
as opposed to the traditional position of the organization in --
55
177000
4000
而不是从传统的组织内的角度去看——
03:25
was, for these guys, quite a revelation.
56
181000
3000
对他们来说是莫大的启发。
03:28
And so, that was a really catalytic thing for them.
57
184000
4000
那对他们来说也是催化剂。
03:32
So they snapped into action.
58
188000
1000
于是他们迅速付诸行动。
03:33
They said, OK, it's not about systemic change.
59
189000
3000
他们说：好，这不是什么系统性变革。
03:36
It's not about huge, ridiculous things that we need to do.
60
192000
2000
要做的不是荒谬的大工程
03:38
It's about tiny things that can make a huge amount of difference.
61
194000
3000
而是能造成巨大不同的细小的事
03:41
So we started with them prototyping some really little things
62
197000
4000
于是我们从他们这里进行了一些小细节的原型设计
03:45
that we could do to have a huge amount of impact.
63
201000
2000
那些能带来很大影响的小细节。
03:47
The first thing we did was we took a little bicycle mirror
64
203000
4000
首先我们找来了一个小的自行车后镜
03:51
and we Band-Aided it here, onto a gurney, a hospital trolley,
65
207000
5000
把它贴在医院的推车上
03:56
so that when you were wheeled around by a nurse or by a doctor,
66
212000
4000
这样子当你被护士或者医生推着到处跑的时候
04:00
you could actually have a conversation with them.
67
216000
1000
你就可以跟他们对话。
04:01
You could, kind of, see them in your rear-view mirror,
68
217000
2000
你可以在你的后视镜里看到他们，
04:03
so it created a tiny human interaction.
69
219000
3000
从而创造了一个小型的人性互动。
04:06
Very small example of something that they could do.
70
222000
3000
这是他们可做的事情当中的一个小例子。
04:09
Interestingly, the nurses themselves, sort of, snapped into action --
71
225000
3000
有趣的是，护士们都迫不及待的采取行动——
04:12
said, OK, we embrace this. What can we do?
72
228000
3000
说，好，我们拥护这个理念。我们能做什么？
04:15
The first thing they do is they decorated the ceiling.
73
231000
3000
他们做的第一件事情是装饰了天花板。
04:18
Which I thought was really -- I showed this to my mother recently.
74
234000
2000
我觉得这很... 最近我拿这个给我妈看，
04:20
I think my mother now thinks that I'm some sort of interior decorator.
75
236000
3000
我妈现在估计以为我是搞室内装潢什么的。
04:23
It's what I do for a living, sort of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
76
239000
3000
这就是我谋生的手段，就像Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen,
04:26
Not particularly the world's best design solution
77
242000
2000
对那些大牌设计师而言，
04:28
for those of us who are real, sort of, hard-core designers,
78
244000
2000
这些算不上世界上最好的设计。
04:30
but nonetheless, a fabulous empathic solution for people.
79
246000
6000
但是无论如何，是出色的充满人性的方案。
04:36
Things that they started doing themselves --
80
252000
2000
他们自发的、在做的事情——
04:38
like changing the floor going into the patient's room
81
254000
3000
比如把病房门口的地板改掉
04:41
so that it signified, "This is my room. This is my personal space" --
82
257000
5000
以显示说“这是我的房间。这是我的私人空间”——
04:46
was a really interesting sort of design solution to the problem.
83
262000
2000
是个对问题很有趣的解答
04:48
So you went from public space to private space.
84
264000
2000
于是你从公共区域进入了私人空间。
04:50
And another idea, again, that came from one of the nurses -- which I love --
85
266000
3000
另外一个创意，来自一个护士——我很喜欢这想法——
04:53
was they took traditional, sort of, corporate white boards,
86
269000
4000
他们把传统的公司用的白板
04:57
then they put them on one wall of the patient's room,
87
273000
2000
放到病房的墙上
04:59
and they put this sticker there.
88
275000
2000
然后放这些贴纸上去。
05:01
So that what you could actually do was go into the room
89
277000
3000
于是你可以走进房间
05:04
and write messages to the person who was sick in that room,
90
280000
3000
给里面的病人留言
05:07
which was lovely.
91
283000
1000
相当贴心
05:08
So, tiny, tiny, tiny solutions that made a huge amount of impact.
92
284000
5000
就是这些，细小、细小再细小的解决方案，带来很大影响力。
05:13
I thought that was a really, really nice example.
93
289000
4000
我认为那是个非常非常好的例子。
05:17
So this is not particularly a new idea,
94
293000
2000
这个不是什么新的想法，
05:19
kind of, seeing opportunities in things that are around you
95
295000
4000
更像是，从身边已有的事物中寻找机会
05:23
and snapping and turning them into a solution.
96
299000
2000
然后把他们变成解决方案。
05:25
It's a history of invention based around this.
97
301000
3000
发明创造的历史便依据于此
05:28
I'm going to read this because I want to get these names right.
98
304000
2000
我得看着念，因为我要把名字念对
05:30
Joan Ganz Cooney saw her daughter -- came down on a Saturday morning,
99
306000
4000
Joan Ganz Cooney看到她女儿——星期六一早醒过来，
05:34
saw her daughter watching the test card,
100
310000
2000
在看测试卡
05:36
waiting for programs to come on one morning
101
312000
3000
等待着喜欢看的电视节目
05:39
and from that came Sesame Street.
102
315000
4000
然后就诞生了“芝麻街”。
05:43
Malcolm McLean was moving from one country to another
103
319000
4000
Malcolm McLean正从一个国家搬去另一个国家
05:47
and was wondering why it took these guys so long
104
323000
2000
他在想为什么这些人要用那么长时间
05:49
to get the boxes onto the ship.
105
325000
3000
才能把箱子搬上船。
05:52
And he invented the shipping container.
106
328000
3000
于是他发明了集装箱。
05:55
George de Mestral -- this is not bugs all over a Birkenstock --
107
331000
4000
George de Mestral ——这并不是爬在勃肯鞋上的虫——
05:59
was walking his dog in a field and got covered in burrs,
108
335000
3000
和他的狗一起散步，发现裤子和狗身上粘满了的苍耳
06:02
sort of little prickly things, and from that came Velcro.
109
338000
7000
一种带刺的小东西，于是就有了“维可牢”的发明（一种尼龙刺粘扣）
06:09
And finally, for the Brits, Percy Shaw -- this is a big British invention --
110
345000
5000
最后，英国人们，Percy Shaw ——这是个英国的大发明——
06:14
saw the cat's eyes at the side of the road,
111
350000
1000
有一天在他开车回家的路上
06:15
when he was driving home one night and from that came the Catseye.
112
351000
5000
看到了路边的猫的眼睛，由此便诞生了猫眼路标。
06:20
So there's a whole series of just using your eyes,
113
356000
2000
这样的例子不胜枚举——用你的眼睛，
06:22
seeing things for the first time, seeing things afresh
114
358000
3000
以新鲜的眼光看待事物
06:25
and using them as an opportunity to create new possibilities.
115
361000
4000
然后以它们为契机创造新的可能性。
06:29
Second one, without sounding overly Zen,
116
365000
2000
其次，听起来不要太禅，
06:31
and this is a quote from the Buddha:
117
367000
2000
这是佛语：
06:33
"Finding yourself in the margins, looking to the edges of things,
118
369000
4000
“身处边缘，观看事物周边
06:37
is often a really interesting place to start."
119
373000
3000
往往会有不错的新发现。”
06:40
Blinkered vision tends to produce, I think, blinkered solutions.
120
376000
4000
肤浅的目光只会给出短浅的解决方案。
06:44
So, looking wide, using your peripheral vision,
121
380000
3000
因此，眼观六路、耳听八方
06:47
is a really interesting place to look for opportunity.
122
383000
3000
就会发现更多新机遇。
06:50
Again, another medical example here.
123
386000
3000
这里还有另一个医学方面的例子。
06:53
We were asked by a device producer --
124
389000
3000
一位设备生产商问我们——
06:56
we did the Palm Pilot and the Treo.
125
392000
2000
我们曾经做过PalmPilot（轻巧随身的PDA产品）脑和Treo系列智能手机。
06:58
We did a lot of sexy tech at Ideo --
126
394000
2000
在Ideo我们创造出了很多火爆的技术——
07:00
they'd seen this and they wanted a sexy piece of technology
127
396000
3000
他们看到了这一点，并且他们也需要一项
07:03
for medical diagnostics.
128
399000
2000
关于医疗诊断的新技术。
07:05
This was a device that a nurse uses
129
401000
2000
这是一台护士用的小设备，
07:07
when they're doing a spinal procedure in hospital.
130
403000
2000
用于在医院里做脊髓检查，
07:09
They'll ask the nurses to input data.
131
405000
2000
它需要护士输入一些数据。
07:11
And they had this vision of the nurse, kind of, clicking away
132
407000
2000
他们期待看到护士不停地按着
07:13
on this aluminum device
133
409000
1000
这个铝制设备
07:14
and it all being incredibly, sort of, gadget-lustish.
134
410000
5000
这个令人难以置信的高科技玩意儿
07:19
When we actually went and watched this procedure taking place --
135
415000
4000
当我们观看整套的操作流程时，
07:23
and I'll explain this in a second --
136
419000
2000
稍后我将解释原因——
07:25
it became very obvious that there was a human dimension to this
137
421000
4000
很明显有一些人为的问题在里面，
07:29
that they really weren't recognizing.
138
425000
3000
他们却没有注意到
07:32
When you're having a four-inch needle inserted into your spine --
139
428000
4000
当你的脊椎插入了一根四英寸长的针头时——
07:36
which was the procedure that this device's data was about;
140
432000
4000
那个设备的数据输入便在这个过程中进行——
07:40
it was for pain management -- you're shit scared; you're freaking out.
141
436000
4000
用于疼痛管理。你非常恐慌——你吓坏了。
07:44
And so the first thing that pretty much every nurse did,
142
440000
4000
因此，几乎每位护士都会
07:48
was hold the patient's hand to comfort them. Human gesture --
143
444000
4000
握住病人的手来安慰他们。而这个动作——
07:52
which made the fabulous two-handed data input completely impossible.
144
448000
6000
使两手操作的资料输入变成完全不可能
07:58
So, the thing that we designed, much less sexy
145
454000
4000
基于此，我们的设计没有很多的热门技术，
08:02
but much more human and practical, was this.
146
458000
5000
但是更加人性化和实用。就是这个
08:07
So, it's not a Palm Pilot by any stretch of the imagination,
147
463000
2000
无论如何它都不是Palm Pilot
08:09
but it has a thumb-scroll so you can do everything with one hand.
148
465000
3000
上面安装了一个滚轮，这样你就可以单手操作。
08:12
So, again, going back to this -- the idea that a tiny human gesture
149
468000
6000
再回到我们的主题——只是因为小小的手的问题
08:18
dictated the design of this product.
150
474000
3000
促使了这台设备的设计方案。
08:21
And I think that's really, really important.
151
477000
3000
我觉得这是非常重要的。
08:24
So, again, this idea of workarounds.
152
480000
2000
这些“基于周遭问题”的创意，
08:26
We use this phrase "workarounds" a lot,
153
482000
2000
我们常用这个说法“基于周遭问题”，
08:28
sort of, looking around us. I was actually looking around the TED
154
484000
2000
感觉像是在审视我们的周边。当我一到这里，
08:30
and just watching all of these kind of things happen
155
486000
2000
我就开始审视TED，以及这里发生的
08:32
while I've been here.
156
488000
1000
一切事情
08:33
This idea of the way that people cobble together solutions in our life --
157
489000
4000
人们组合生活中各个问题的解决方案——
08:37
and the things we kind of do in our environment
158
493000
3000
以及那些平常我们在做的事情，
08:40
that are somewhat subconscious but have huge potential --
159
496000
2000
那些虽是潜意识的，却具有很大潜力的——
08:42
is something that we look at a lot.
160
498000
2000
就是我们所苦苦追寻的创意。
08:44
We wrote a book recently, I think you might have received it,
161
500000
3000
我们最近出了一本书，也许有人已经看过了，
08:47
called "Thoughtless Acts?"
162
503000
1000
名字叫《无意识的行为》。
08:48
It's been all about these kind of thoughtless things that people do,
163
504000
3000
里面都是些人们下意识做出的事情，
08:51
which have huge intention and huge opportunity.
164
507000
3000
但是都蕴含着巨大的潜力和机遇。
08:54
Why do we all follow the line in the street?
165
510000
3000
我们为什么总是沿街道上的线行走呢？
08:57
This is a picture in a Japanese subway.
166
513000
2000
这是一张日本地铁里的图片。
08:59
People consciously follow things even though, why, we don't know.
167
515000
6000
人们总是习惯性的跟随某些东西，却不知为何
09:05
Why do we line up the square milk carton with the square fence?
168
521000
4000
为什么人们总把方形牛奶盒摆在广场方形护栏上呢？
09:09
Because we kind of have to -- we're just compelled to.
169
525000
4000
这是因为我们有点——不得不这么做。
09:13
We don't know why, but we do.
170
529000
4000
虽然不知原因，但的确要做。
09:17
Why do we wrap the teabag string around the cup handle?
171
533000
3000
我们为什么总把茶包线缠在杯柄上呢？
09:20
Again, we're sort of using the world around us
172
536000
3000
我们只是利用周遭世界
09:23
to create our own design solutions.
173
539000
2000
来创造自己的设计解决方案。
09:25
And we're always saying to our clients: "You should look at this stuff.
174
541000
3000
我们通常会告诉客户：“你应该注意这个，
09:28
This stuff is really important. This stuff is really vital."
175
544000
2000
这个很重要，极为关键。”
09:30
This is people designing their own experiences.
176
546000
2000
这是人们设计自己经验的过程。
09:32
You can draw from this.
177
548000
4000
你可以从中学到很多。
09:36
We sort of assume that because there's a pole in the street,
178
552000
2000
我们假定如果马路上出现了一根杆，
09:38
that it's okay to use it, so we park our shopping cart there.
179
554000
5000
人们就可以用，于是我们把购物车停在那里。
09:43
It's there for our use, on some level.
180
559000
2000
它的存在为我所用。
09:45
So, again, we sort of co-opt our environment
181
561000
2000
我们利用周围环境
09:47
to do all these different things.
182
563000
3000
以便解决繁杂的事情。
09:50
We co-opt other experiences --
183
566000
1000
我们援用别处得到的经验——
09:51
we take one item and transfer it to another.
184
567000
4000
从一项转移到另一项上。
09:55
And this is my favorite one. My mother used to say to me,
185
571000
2000
我很喜欢的一句话，是我妈妈告诉我的：
09:57
"Just because your sister jumps in the lake doesn't mean you have to."
186
573000
3000
“你姐姐跳进湖里，但你没必要跟着一起跳。”
10:00
But, of course, we all do. We all follow each other every day.
187
576000
2000
但我们都跟着跳进去了。我们总重复他人。
10:02
So somebody assumes
188
578000
1000
有人试图解释原因：
10:03
that because somebody else has done something,
189
579000
2000
因为有人做了某事，
10:05
that's permission for them to do the same thing.
190
581000
3000
即表示他们也可以做相同的事
10:08
And there's almost this sort of semaphore around us all the time.
191
584000
3000
很多人有着类似的想法。
10:11
I mean, shopping bag equals "parking meter out of order."
192
587000
3000
我是说，塑料袋等同于停车计费器故障。
10:14
And we all, kind of, know how to read these signals now.
193
590000
2000
人人都明白这些信号的含义。
10:16
We all talk to one another in this highly visual way
194
592000
3000
我们以这些人尽皆知的视觉方式交流，
10:19
without realizing what we're doing.
195
595000
3000
甚至没有意识到我们到底在做什么。
10:22
Third section is this idea of not knowing,
196
598000
4000
第三部分是关于“不知”的，
10:26
of consciously putting yourself backwards.
197
602000
2000
有意识地清空自己的常识
10:28
I talk about unthinking situations all the time.
198
604000
3000
我经常会谈论各类被疏忽的情形。
10:31
Sort of having beginner's mind, scraping your mind clean
199
607000
2000
就像拥有新人的想法，将你所有的知识、经验清空，
10:33
and looking at things afresh.
200
609000
2000
重新审视一件事物。
10:35
A friend of mine was a designer at IKEA,
201
611000
3000
我有一个在宜家做设计师的朋友。
10:38
and he was asked by his boss
202
614000
2000
有一天，他的老板要求他
10:40
to help design a storage system for children.
203
616000
3000
为儿童设计一款贮存物品的家具。
10:43
This is the Billy bookcase -- it's IKEA's biggest selling product.
204
619000
3000
这是比利书柜——宜家里最畅销的一款产品。
10:46
Hammer it together. Hammer it together with a shoe, if you're me,
205
622000
2000
将它钉在一起。用鞋子来敲打组合，如果是我的话，
10:48
because they're impossible to assemble.
206
624000
2000
因为很难组装。
10:50
But big selling bookcase. How do we replicate this for children?
207
626000
6000
但依然很畅销，如何把这个复制给儿童呢？
10:56
The reality is when you actually watch children,
208
632000
3000
如果你认真观察儿童的举动，你会发现
10:59
children don't think about things like storage in linear terms.
209
635000
3000
孩子们并不想把东西按顺序排放好。
11:02
Children assume permission in a very different way.
210
638000
3000
孩子们有着全然不同于成人的想法，
11:05
Children live on things. They live under things.
211
641000
2000
他们站在物品上面，或者爬到下面，
11:07
They live around things,
212
643000
2000
抑或是围绕在四围，
11:09
and so their spatial awareness relationship,
213
645000
3000
因此，他们对于空间意识的理解
11:12
and their thinking around storage is totally different.
214
648000
2000
以及对于贮存物品的方式有着自己的看法。
11:14
So the first thing you have to do -- this is Graham, the designer --
215
650000
3000
因此，首先你要——这就是Graham，那个设计师——
11:17
is, sort of, put yourself in their shoes. And so, here he is
216
653000
3000
把自己放到孩子们的角度上。所以，他就
11:20
sitting under the table.
217
656000
2000
钻到了桌子底下。
11:22
So, what came out of this?
218
658000
2000
结果如何呢？
11:24
This is the storage system that he designed.
219
660000
3000
这是他所设计的贮存物品的工具。
11:27
So what is this? I hear you all ask. No, I don't.
220
663000
3000
这是什么啊？我听到你们问了。不，我没听到。
11:30
(Laughter)
221
666000
2000
（笑声）
11:32
It's this, and I think this is a particularly lovely solution.
222
668000
4000
是这样的，我认为这是一个特别可爱的设计。
11:36
So, you know, it's a totally different way of looking at the situation.
223
672000
3000
这是一种全新的解决问题的方法。
11:39
It's a completely empathic solution --
224
675000
4000
这是一个倾注了感情的解决方案——
11:43
apart from the fact that teddy's probably not loving it.
225
679000
2000
当然，泰迪熊很可能不会喜欢这个方法。
11:45
(Laughter)
226
681000
4000
（笑声）
11:49
But a really nice way of re-framing the ordinary,
227
685000
5000
但，这不妨碍它推陈出新的亮点，
11:54
and I think that's one of the things.
228
690000
1000
而且，我觉得这很难得。
11:55
And putting yourself in the position of the person,
229
691000
3000
把自己换个角度来思考，
11:58
and I think that's one of the threads that I've heard again
230
694000
2000
在TED集会上，我反复听到的一个思路就是
12:00
from this conference is how do we put ourselves
231
696000
2000
如何把自己放到别人的角度上去思考问题，
12:02
in other peoples' shoes and really feel what they feel?
232
698000
2000
站在他们立场上去体会他们的感受
12:04
And then use that information to fuel solutions?
233
700000
3000
并且借助这种体会去解决面临的问题
12:07
And I think that's what this is very much about.
234
703000
4000
我认为这才是最主要。
12:11
Last section: green armband. We've all got them.
235
707000
4000
最后一章：绿色手链。我们都有，
12:15
It's about this really.
236
711000
2000
跟这个相关。
12:17
I mean, it's about picking battles big enough to matter
237
713000
2000
也就是说要从大处着眼，
12:19
but small enough to win.
238
715000
2000
从小处着手。
12:21
Again, that's one of the themes
239
717000
1000
这也是我在这里反复听到的
12:22
that I think has come through loud and clear in this conference
240
718000
3000
被强调的几个主题之一：
12:25
is: Where do we start? How do we start? What do we do to start?
241
721000
4000
我们从何做起？如何开展？如何起步？
12:29
So, again, we were asked to design a water pump
242
725000
4000
有一次，一家位于肯尼亚名叫ApproTEC的公司
12:33
for a company called ApproTEC, in Kenya.
243
729000
2000
委托我们设计一款水泵。
12:35
They're now called KickStart.
244
731000
3000
现在这家公司更名为KickStart了。
12:38
And, again, as designers,
245
734000
1000
作为设计师，
12:39
we wanted to make this thing incredibly beautiful
246
735000
2000
我们想把这个产品做得非常漂亮，
12:41
and spend a lot of time thinking of the form.
247
737000
3000
花费了很多时间去构思形状。
12:44
And that was completely irrelevant.
248
740000
1000
其实这无关紧要。
12:45
When you put yourself in the position of these people,
249
741000
5000
当你设身处地的站在那些人的角度去考虑时，
12:50
things like the fact that this has to be able to fold up
250
746000
2000
你会发现，这件产品要能被折叠，
12:52
and fit on a bicycle, become much more relevant
251
748000
3000
并且可以放在自行车上，这个比外观重要多了。
12:55
than the form of it. The way it's produced,
252
751000
2000
此外，生产的方式
12:57
it has to be produced with indigenous manufacturing methods
253
753000
3000
必须适合手工制造，
13:00
and indigenous materials.
254
756000
2000
同时原材料也需取自当地。
13:02
So it had to be looked at completely from the point of view of the user.
255
758000
4000
这需要完全从一个使用者的角度来审视，
13:06
We had to completely transfer ourselves over to their world.
256
762000
4000
我们不得不把自己转到他们的世界里
13:10
So what seems like a very clunky product
257
766000
2000
这种看起来笨重的产品
13:12
is, in fact, incredibly useful.
258
768000
3000
其实惊人的实用。
13:15
It's powered a bit like a Stairmaster -- you pump up and down on it.
259
771000
3000
它的操作就像爬楼梯——上下踏动来操作
13:18
Children can use it. Adults can use it. Everybody uses it.
260
774000
3000
儿童可以使用，大人可以使用，人人都可以轻松操作
13:21
It's turning these guys -- again, one of the themes --
261
777000
3000
它转变了这些人——另一个主题——
13:24
it's turning them into entrepreneurs.
262
780000
3000
将他们转变为企业家。
13:27
These guys are using this very successfully.
263
783000
2000
这些人可以非常容易的使用这个水泵。
13:29
And for us, it's been great
264
785000
1000
对于我们，也是受益匪浅，
13:30
because it's won loads of design awards.
265
786000
1000
因为这个设计得了很多奖。
13:31
So we actually managed to reconcile the needs of the design company,
266
787000
3000
最终，我们顺利的实现了客户的需求，
13:34
the needs of the individuals in the company,
267
790000
2000
满足了公司里不同个体的需求，
13:36
to feel good about a product we were actually designing,
268
792000
2000
让他们对我们所设计的产品非常满意，
13:38
and the needs of the individuals we were designing it for.
269
794000
5000
同时切合了使用者对这个产品的期望。
13:43
There it is, pumping water from 30 feet.
270
799000
4000
这就是那个水泵，能把水抽到30英尺的高度。
13:47
So as a final gesture we handed out these bracelets
271
803000
5000
今早，我们把这些手链发到了每一个人手里
13:52
to all of you this morning.
272
808000
1000
以表示我们的心意。
13:53
We've made a donation on everybody's behalf here
273
809000
3000
我们以座诸位的名义为KichStart做了捐赠，
13:56
to kick start, no pun intended, their next project.
274
812000
4000
不是双关语，而是KichStart的另一项工程。
14:00
Because, again, I think, sort of, putting our money where our mouth is, here.
275
816000
4000
因为这象征着，在我们赖以生存的事物上投资。
14:04
We feel that this is an important gesture.
276
820000
2000
这很重要，具有很深远的意义。
14:06
So we've handed out bracelets. Small is the new big.
277
822000
2000
因此，我们送出这个手链。“以小博大”
14:08
I hope you'll all wear them.
278
824000
1000
希望你们能戴着它。
14:09
So that's it. Thank you.
279
825000
3000
我的演讲就是这些，谢谢大家。
14:12
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Paul Bennett - Designer; creative director, IdeoAs a creative director at Ideo, Paul Bennett reminds us that design need not invoke grand gestures or sweeping statements to be successful, but instead can focus on the little things in life, the obvious, the overlooked.
Why you should listen
As creative director at the influential design and innovation company Ideo, Paul Bennett manages to keep his eye on the little things that matter, though his clients are among the biggest in the world (Procter & Gamble and Pepsi, to name but two). "Small is the new big,"Bennett says. And his design approach reflects this philosophy. For often, it's not the biggest ideas that have the most impact, but the small, the personal, and the intimate.
Trained as a graphic designer, Bennett is a pragmatic design evangelist, preaching fervently that design can make the world a better place, and providing playful, inspired examples of how it does.
