他們當中許多都沒上過學校。
01:52
They don't invent stuff in big R&D labs.

他們的發明不是
在大型研發中心裡誕生的。

01:55
The street is the lab.

大街大巷，就是他們的實驗室。
01:59
Why do they do that?
26
107480
1579
為什麼他們要這樣？
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
因為我們理所當然
擁有的基本資源，他們沒有。

are also scarce in those regions.

在那些地區少之又少。
02:12
When external resources are scarce,
you have to go within yourself

既然外在的資源遙不可及，
你就必須靠自己，

In India, we call it Jugaad.
34
137700
4286
在印度，我們稱之為「組加」（Jugaad）
02:33
Jugaad is a Hindi word
35
141986
2176
「組加」在印度語中意為
02:36
that means an improvised fix,
a clever solution born in adversity.

Jugaad solutions are not

組加方案不複雜、也不是完美無缺，
02:46
but they create more value at lower cost.
38
154824
2799
但是可以用更低的成本，創造更多的價值。
02:50
For me, the entrepreneurs
who will create Jugaad solutions
who will create Jugaad solutions
39
158353
3459
在我看來，創造組加方案的企業家
02:53
are like alchemists.
40
161812
1974
就像煉金術師一樣神奇。
02:55
They can magically transform
adversity into opportunity,
adversity into opportunity,
41
163786
4063
他們可以將逆境神奇地轉化為機遇，
02:59
and turn something of less value
into something of high value.
into something of high value.
42
167849
5501
將原來低價值的事物變成高價值。
03:05
In other words, they mastered the art
of doing more with less,
of doing more with less,
43
173350
6968
他們以更少價值創造更多價值，
「組加」游刃有餘，

03:12
which is the essence of frugal innovation.
44
180318
4969
這就是節儉發明的精髓。
03:17
Frugal innovation is the ability
to create more economic and social value
to create more economic and social value
45
185287
5630
節儉發明，指能夠用更少的資源
03:22
using fewer resources.
46
190917
3360
創造更經濟優惠的社會價值。
03:26
Frugal innovation is not about making do;
it's about making things better.
it's about making things better.
47
194277
5827
節儉發明的目的，不是湊合著使用資源，
而是讓世界變得更美好。

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

現在我想向各位展示，在新興市場上，
03:38
entrepreneurs and companies are adopting
frugal innovation on a larger scale

49
206210

企業家和公司是如何大量使用節儉發明
03:43
to cost-effectively deliver healthcare
and energy to billions of people

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

that less qualified health workers
like nurses can use in rural clinics.
like nurses can use in rural clinics.
58
241198
5157
農村診所的護士等普通醫療人員也能使用。
04:18
China desperately needs
these frugal medical solutions

59
246355
4015
中國亟需這樣的節儉醫療方案，
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
因為到了 2050 年，
老年人口會達過五億。

04:29
Now let's go to Kenya,
61
257568
2948
現在我們來看看肯亞，

a country where half the population
uses M-Pesa, a mobile payment solution.

62
260516
5991
該國一半人都在用一種

04:38
This is a great solution
for the African continent
for the African continent
63
266507
2740
在非洲大陸，這是相當了不起，
04:41
because 80 percent of Africans
don't have a bank account,
don't have a bank account,
64
269247
4085
因為 80% 的非洲人都沒有銀行帳戶，
04:45
but what is exciting is that M-Pesa
is now becoming the source
is now becoming the source
65
273332
4699
令人振奮的是，目前在能源等領域中
04:50
of other disruptive business models
in sectors like energy.
in sectors like energy.
66
278031
4619
M-Pesa 已成為其他顛覆性經營模式的資源。
04:54
Take M-KOPA, the home solar solution
that comes literally in a box
that comes literally in a box
67
282650
5818
舉例來說，M-KOPA 是一盒太陽能家庭設備，

that has a solar rooftop panel,
three LED lights,

太陽能接收器、手機充電器。
05:08
The whole kit, though, costs 200 dollars,
which is too expensive for most Kenyans,

整套設備大約是 200 美元，

05:14
and this is where mobile telephony

71

而手機卻可以讓大家都買得起這套設備。
05:20
Today, you can buy this kit by making
an initial deposit of just 35 dollars,

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

05:34
Once you've made 365 micro-payments,
the system is unlocked,
the system is unlocked,
75
322790
4922
05:39
and you own the product and you start
receiving clean, free electricity.

76
327713
6245
你就擁有這個產品，
開始享受免費的環保電能。

05:45
This is an amazing solution for Kenya,
77
333958
2322
在肯亞，這套方案相當出眾，
05:48
where 70 percent of people
live off the grid.

78
336280
3250
因為 70% 的人日常生活

在沒有電能的條件下。
05:52
This shows that with frugal innovation
79
340940
3188
這也證明了，憑藉節儉發明，
05:56
what matters is that you take what is
most abundant, mobile connectivity,
most abundant, mobile connectivity,
80
344128
4992
你可以利用最豐富的資源，譬如手機網路，
06:01
to deal with what is scarce,
which is energy.
which is energy.
81
349120
5071
去解決短缺問題，譬如能源。
06:06
With frugal innovation,
the global South is actually catching up

82
354191
4570
憑藉節儉發明，南部地區在真正地接近、
06:10
and in some cases
even leap-frogging the North.
even leap-frogging the North.
83
358761
3527
甚至超越北部地區的發展。
06:14
Instead of building expensive hospitals,
China is using telemedicine
China is using telemedicine
84
362288
5192
在中國，遠程醫療取代了昂價的醫院工程，
06:19
to cost-effectively treat
millions of patients,
millions of patients,
85
367480
3629
為數以百萬計的病人
提供符合成本效益的治療，

06:23
and Africa, instead of building
banks and electricity grids,

86
371109

在非洲，不是去建新的銀行和電網，
06:27
is going straight to mobile payments
and distributed clean energy.
and distributed clean energy.
87
375799
5317
而是直接用手機支付和分散式的乾淨能源。
06:33
Frugal innovation is diametrically opposed
to the way we innovate in the North.
to the way we innovate in the North.
88
381116
6759
節儉發明，與我們北部地區的
發明方式截然不同。
發明方式截然不同。
06:39
I live in Silicon Valley,
89
387875
1646
我住在矽谷，
06:41
where we keep chasing
the next big technology thing.
the next big technology thing.
90
389521
3413
那裡的人一直追求了不起的新技術。
06:44
Think of the iPhone 5, 6, then 7, 8.
91
392934
4644
想想 iPhone 5、6、7、8。
06:49
Companies in the West spend
billions of dollars investing in R&D,
billions of dollars investing in R&D,
92
397578
4389
西方企業投資數以十億計美元在研發上，
06:53
and use tons of natural resources
to create ever more complex products,
to create ever more complex products,
93
401967
4464
利用數以噸計的自然資源
來創造更加複雜的產品，
來創造更加複雜的產品，
06:58
to differentiate their brands
from competition,
from competition,
94
406431
3336
就是為了讓自己的品牌在競爭中突圍而出，
07:01
and they charge customers
more money for new features.
more money for new features.
95
409767
4087
然後借著這些新功能向顧客收取更多費用。
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，西方傳統商業模式
是以更多價值換取更多價值。
是以更多價值換取更多價值。
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
但不幸的是這種模式要走到盡頭了。
原因有三：
原因有三：
07:18
First, a big portion
of customers in the West
of customers in the West
98
426744
4146
第一，西方的大量顧客
07:22
because of the diminishing
purchasing power,
purchasing power,
99
430890
2982
由於消費力日漸減弱
07:25
can no longer afford
these expensive products.
these expensive products.
100
433872
2830
不再買得起這些高價產品。
07:28
Second, we are running out of
natural water and oil.
natural water and oil.
101
436702
5118
第二，自然水資源和石油資源在不斷耗盡。
07:33
In California, where I live,
water scarcity is becoming a big problem.
water scarcity is becoming a big problem.
102
441820
3901
我居住在加州，
那裡的水資源缺乏問題越來越嚴重。
那裡的水資源缺乏問題越來越嚴重。
07:37
And third, most importantly,
103
445721
2617
第三，也是最重要的，
07:40
because of the growing income disparity
104
448338
2375
西方富人和中產階級之間的
收入差距越來越大，
收入差距越來越大，
07:42
between the rich
and the middle class in the West,
and the middle class in the West,
105
450713
3060
已有的產品服務與顧客的基本需要
07:45
there is a big disconnect
between existing products and services
between existing products and services
106
453773
3418
07:49
and basic needs of customers.
107
457191
2181
越來越不相關。
07:51
Do you know that today,
108
459372
1898
在座是否知道，
07:53
there are over 70 million Americans
today who are underbanked,
today who are underbanked,
109
461270
4766
目前有逾七千萬美國人沒有得到足夠的金融服務，
07:58
because existing banking services
110
466036
3322
因為已有的銀行服務
08:01
are not designed to address
their basic needs.
their basic needs.
111
469358
4258
不是為了滿足他們的基本需求而設計的。
08:05
The prolonged economic crisis
in the West is making people think
in the West is making people think
112
473616
3892
西方的經濟危機揮之不去，讓大眾以為
08:09
that they are about to lose
the high standard of living
the high standard of living
113
477508
3274
他們就要失去高生活標準，
08:12
and face deprivation.
114
480782
2856
即將面臨貧困問題。
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
我認為，西方持續發展和繁榮的唯一出路是
08:20
is if we learn to do more with less.
116
488096
3501
我們要學會用更少價值創造更多價值。
08:23
The good news is,
that's starting to happen.
that's starting to happen.
117
491597
3038
好消息是，這已經開始發生。
08:26
Several Western companies
are now adopting frugal innovation

118
494635

數家西方企業正在通過節儉發明，
08:30
to create affordable products
for Western consumers.
for Western consumers.
119
498150
4365
為西方消費者創造經濟實惠的產品。
08:34
Let me give you two examples.
120
502515
2430
我為大家舉兩個例子。
08:36
When I first saw this building,
121
504945
1773
首次看到這座建築，
08:38
I told myself it's some
kind of postmodern house.
kind of postmodern house.
122
506718
3157
我以為這是一座後現代房子。
08:41
Actually, it's a small manufacturing plant
set up by Grameen Danone,

目的是在孟加拉製作高質優格。
08:55
This factory is 10 percent the size
of existing Danone factories

該廠房只有丹璐其他廠房的十分之一大，
08:59
and cost much less to build.
128
527774
2762
工程花費小。
09:02
I guess you can call it a low-fat factory.
129
530536
3534
我想大家可以稱之為「低脂」廠房。
09:06
Now this factory, unlike Western factories
that are highly automated,
that are highly automated,
130
534070

that combines economic efficiency
and social sustainability,

09:28
Now, when you see this example,
135
556121
2002
現在大家看著這個例子，
09:30
you might be thinking, "Well,
frugal innovation is low tech."
frugal innovation is low tech."
136
558123
3794
可能在想：「噢，節儉發明就是技術含量低。」
09:33
Actually, no.
137
561917
1643
實際不是這樣。
09:35
Frugal innovation is also
about making high tech

2275
並且消耗更少能源，
10:01
which is great for hospitals,
but it's also great for patients

146
589792
3921
對於醫院來說是福音，

10:21
where hospitals are pressured
to deliver quality care at lower cost.

151
609691
5611
因為當地的醫院亟需
以更低成本提供高質服務。

2462
但是在西方，節儉發明革命
10:30
in the West is actually led
by creative entrepreneurs

The exciting news is
that's starting to happen.
that's starting to happen.
193
755135

令人振奮的是，這已開始發生了。
12:49
Let's go to Nairobi to find that out.
194
757923
2624
我們去看看肯亞的首都奈洛比。
12:52
Nairobi has horrendous traffic jams.
195
760547

奈洛比的交通堵塞相當惡劣。
12:56
When I first saw them,
I thought, "Holy cow."

196
764167
2915
我第一次看見的時候就想：
「塞得可夠牛的。」

12:59
Literally, because you have to dodge cows
as well when you drive in Nairobi.
as well when you drive in Nairobi.
197
767082
5176
沒錯，因為在奈洛比開車你得避著牛群。
13:04
To ease the situation,
198

13:46
but it promises to take Nairobi drivers
from point A to point B
from point A to point B
208

但是可以保證讓奈洛比的司機
13:51
at least 20 percent faster.

3250
用快 20% 的速度，從甲地去到乙地。

which seeks to identify frugal healthcare
solutions anywhere in the world
solutions anywhere in the world
211

立向尋找世界各地的節儉醫療方案，
14:06
that will be at least 20 percent cheaper
than existing solutions in the U.S.
than existing solutions in the U.S.
212
834087

比美國目前的方案節省至少 20%
14:11
and yet more effective.
213
839474

但卻更有效的方案。
14:13
It also tries to bring together
innovators from North and South
innovators from North and South
214
841584
4755
同時也嘗試將南北部地區的
發明家聚在一起，
發明家聚在一起，
14:18
to cocreate affordable healthcare
solutions for all of humanity.

14:24
I gave tons of examples of frugal
innovators from around the world,
innovators from around the world,
216
852027
4273
世界各地的節儉發明例子，
我已經給了很多，
我已經給了很多，
14:28
but the question is, how do you go about
adopting frugal innovation?
adopting frugal innovation?
217
856300
4028
但問題是，大家要怎樣利用節儉發明？
14:32
Well, I gleaned out three principles
from frugal innovators around the world
from frugal innovators around the world
218
860328
3595
我從各地的節儉發明家上
收集了三個要點，
收集了三個要點，
14:35
that I want to share with you
219
863923
1746
想在這裡跟大家分享，
14:37
that you can apply
in your own organization
in your own organization
220
865669
2271
讓大家知道可以在自己的組織中
14:39
to do more with less.
221
867940
2709
用少量價值創造更多價值。
14:42
The first principle is: Keep it simple.
222
870649
4180
第一要點：一切從簡。
14:46
Don't create solutions
to impress customers.
to impress customers.
223
874829
3041
不要為了向客戶炫耀才創造方案。
14:49
Make them easy enough to use
and widely accessible,
and widely accessible,
224
877870
3251
方案需要簡單明了，
容易操作，經濟大眾，
容易操作，經濟大眾，
14:53
like the C.T. scanner we saw in China.
225
881121
3007
譬如中國的電腦斷層掃描儀。
14:56
Second principle:
Do not reinvent the wheel.
Do not reinvent the wheel.
226
884128
4191
第二要點：切勿重複發明資源。
15:00
Try to leverage existing resources
and assets that are widely available,
and assets that are widely available,
227
888319
4086
嘗試利用廣泛易得的已有資源，
15:04
like using mobile telephony
to offer clean energy
to offer clean energy
228
892405
3994
譬如說用手機來提供乾淨能源，
15:08
or Mom and Pop stores
to offer banking services.
to offer banking services.
229
896399
3692
在小商店內提供銀行服務。
15:12
Third principle is:
Think and act horizontally.
Think and act horizontally.
230
900091
4290
第三點：橫向思考和行動。
15:16
Companies tend to scale up vertically
231
904381
3186
企業傾向於垂直發展，
15:19
by centralizing operations
in big factories and warehouses,
in big factories and warehouses,
232
907567
3530
將程序集中在大型廠房和倉庫內，
15:23
but if you want to be agile and deal
with immense customer diversity,
with immense customer diversity,
233
911097
4156
但如果想要靈活處理
顧客龐大而多樣的需求，
顧客龐大而多樣的需求，
15:27
you need to scale out horizontally
using a distributed supply chain
using a distributed supply chain
234
915253
4799
就需要橫向發展，使用分散的供應鏈，
15:32
with smaller manufacturing
and distribution units,
and distribution units,
235
920052
2854
建立更小的生產和分配單位，
15:34
like Grameen Bank has shown.
236
922906
4258
格萊珉銀行就是一個例子。
15:39
The South pioneered frugal innovation
out of sheer necessity.
out of sheer necessity.
237
927164
5215
出於自身的需要，
南部地區開拓了節儉發明。
南部地區開拓了節儉發明。
15:44
The North is now learning to do
more and better with less
more and better with less
238
932379
4305
目前北部地區在面對資源短缺限制時，
15:48
as it faces resource constraints.
239
936684
3274
也在學習用更少資源
做更多更有效的事情。
做更多更有效的事情。
15:51
As an Indian-born French national
who lives in the United States,
who lives in the United States,
240
939958
5363
身為出生於印度的法國人，居住在美國，
15:57
my hope is that we transcend
this artificial North-South divide
this artificial North-South divide
241
945321
6381
我希望我們能超越
這道所謂的南北部地區分界線，
這道所謂的南北部地區分界線，
16:03
so that we can harness
the collective ingenuity
the collective ingenuity
242
951702
2341
可以掌握世界各地發明家的集體智慧
16:06
of innovators from around the world
243
954043
2354
16:08
to cocreate frugal solutions
244
956397
2624
共同創造節儉方案，
16:11
that will improve the quality of life
of everyone in the world,
of everyone in the world,
245
959021

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.
