I'd like to talk a little bit this morning
0
0
2000
我今天早上要談的是
00:14
about what happens if we move from design
1
2000
3000
關於如果我們把設計升級到
00:17
to design thinking.
2
5000
3000
設計思考，會是怎樣的情形。
00:20
Now this rather old photo up there
3
8000
2000
這裡有一張舊的照片
00:22
is actually the first project I was ever hired to do,
4
10000
3000
這是我被雇用時進行的第一個專案。
00:25
something like 25 years ago.
5
13000
2000
大約是 25 年前的事了。
00:27
It's a woodworking machine, or at least a piece of one,
6
15000
2000
這是一台木作的機器，至少一部分是。
00:29
and my task was to
7
17000
2000
我的工作是
00:31
make this thing a little bit more modern,
8
19000
2000
讓這個東西更現代化一些，
00:33
a little bit easier to use.
9
21000
2000
更容易使用。
00:35
I thought, at the time, I did a pretty good job.
10
23000
3000
我當時以為我已經做的不錯了。
00:38
Unfortunately, not very long afterwards
11
26000
2000
不幸的是，不久之後
00:40
the company went out of business.
12
28000
3000
這家公司倒了。
00:43
This is the second project that I did. It's a fax machine.
13
31000
3000
這是我做的第二個專案。一台傳真機。
00:46
I put an attractive shell around some new technology.
14
34000
3000
除了一些新技術外，我也為它設計了漂亮的外殼。
00:49
Again, 18 months later,
15
37000
2000
再一次，18 個月後
00:51
the product was obsolete.
16
39000
2000
這個產品又過時了。
00:53
And now, of course, the whole technology is obsolete.
17
41000
5000
當然，到現在這台傳真機的所有技術都已經過時了。
00:58
Now, I'm a fairly slow learner,
18
46000
2000
我算是學習速度比較慢的人。
01:00
but eventually it occurred to me that
19
48000
2000
但終究我還是認為
01:02
maybe what passed for design
20
50000
2000
也許過去的設計經驗
01:04
wasn't all that important --
21
52000
2000
並不全然重要 --
01:06
making things more attractive,
22
54000
2000
讓東西更吸引人，
01:08
making them a bit easier to use,
23
56000
2000
讓它們更好用，
01:10
making them more marketable.
24
58000
3000
讓它們更好賣。
01:13
By focusing on a design,
25
61000
2000
只聚焦在設計本身，
01:15
maybe just a single product,
26
63000
2000
可能只是單一產品，
01:17
I was being incremental
27
65000
2000
我當時使用漸進式的思考模式
01:19
and not having much of an impact.
28
67000
4000
並沒有產生太大的影響。
01:23
But I think this small view of design
29
71000
2000
但我認為這種小格局的設計
01:25
is a relatively recent phenomenon,
30
73000
2000
是一種相對新的現象，
01:27
and in fact really emerged
31
75000
2000
而事實上這種現象真正的呈現
01:29
in the latter half of the 20th century
32
77000
2000
是在 20 世紀後半時期
01:31
as design became a tool of consumerism.
33
79000
4000
當設計變成消費主義的工具。
01:35
So when we talk about design today,
34
83000
2000
現在當我們談到設計，
01:37
and particularly when we read about it in the popular press,
35
85000
3000
特別是當我們在媒體上讀到
01:40
we're often talking about products like these.
36
88000
2000
常常指的像是這樣的產品。
01:42
Amusing? Yes. Desirable? Maybe.
37
90000
3000
賞心悅目？是的。想要買嗎？可能吧。
01:45
Important? Not so very.
38
93000
3000
很重要嗎？不見得。
01:48
But this wasn't always the way.
39
96000
2000
但也不是永遠都這樣。
01:50
And I'd like to suggest that if we take
40
98000
2000
所以我要建議用一種
01:52
a different view of design,
41
100000
2000
不同的方式來看設計，
01:54
and focus less on the object
42
102000
3000
而不要太聚焦在物件本身
01:57
and more on design thinking as an approach,
43
105000
3000
以更多的設計思考為途徑
02:00
that we actually might see the result in a bigger impact.
44
108000
5000
我們就會看到影響更深遠的結果。
02:05
Now this gentleman, Isambard Kingdom Brunel,
45
113000
2000
這位男士，Isambar Kingdom Brunel，
02:07
designed many great things in his career in the 19th century,
46
115000
4000
他在 19 世紀設計過許多偉大的東西，
02:11
including the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol
47
119000
4000
其中包括了布里斯托的 Clifton 吊橋
02:15
and the Thames tunnel at Rotherhithe.
48
123000
2000
以及 Rotherhithe 的 Thames 隧道。
02:17
Both great designs and actually very innovative too.
49
125000
5000
這兩個偉大的設計也都非常的創新。
02:22
His greatest creation
50
130000
3000
他最偉大的創作
02:25
runs actually right through here in Oxford.
51
133000
2000
其實就在牛津這裡。
02:27
It's called the Great Western Railway.
52
135000
3000
它叫做 Great Western Railway
02:30
And as a kid I grew up very close to here,
53
138000
3000
我從小長大的地方很靠近這裡。
02:33
and one of my favorite things to do
54
141000
2000
我最喜歡做的事之一
02:35
was to cycle along by the side of the railway
55
143000
3000
就是沿著鐵軌來回走
02:38
waiting for the great big express trains to roar past.
56
146000
3000
等待偉大的快速列車呼嘯而過。
02:41
You can see it represented here in J.M.W. Turner's painting,
57
149000
2000
在這幅 J.M.W. Turner 的畫作裡面可以看到，
02:43
"Rain, Steam and Speed".
58
151000
3000
「雨、蒸汽和速度」。
02:46
Now, what Brunel said that he wanted to achieve for his passengers
59
154000
4000
Brunel 說他希望為乘客打造一種
02:50
was the experience of floating across the countryside.
60
158000
5000
漂浮在鄉間田野的體驗。
02:55
Now, this was back in the 19th century.
61
163000
2000
這是回溯到 19 世紀。
02:57
And to do that meant creating the flattest gradients
62
165000
2000
這意味著要打造出有史以來
02:59
that had ever yet been made,
63
167000
2000
最平坦的坡度，
03:01
which meant building long viaducts across river valleys --
64
169000
3000
也代表要跨越河谷建構長距離的高架橋 --
03:04
this is actually the viaduct across the Thames at Maidenhead --
65
172000
4000
這就是 Maidenhead 橫跨 Thames 的高架橋 --
03:08
and long tunnels such as the one at Box, in Wiltshire.
66
176000
6000
還有像是這個在 Wiltshire 的 Box 的長距離隧道。
03:14
But he didn't stop there. He didn't stop
67
182000
2000
但他並沒有就此喊停。他並不是
03:16
with just trying to design the best railway journey.
68
184000
3000
在設計最好的鐵路旅程後就此打住。
03:19
He imagined an integrated transportation system
69
187000
4000
他想像了一個整體的運輸系統
03:23
in which it would be possible for a passenger to embark
70
191000
3000
能夠讓旅客從
03:26
on a train in London
71
194000
3000
倫敦搭乘火車
03:29
and disembark from a ship in New York.
72
197000
3000
然後搭船到紐約。
03:32
One journey from London to New York.
73
200000
4000
一趟從倫敦到紐約的旅程。
03:36
This is the S.S. Great Western that he built
74
204000
2000
這是他建造的 S.S. Great Western 船隻
03:38
to take care of the second half of that journey.
75
206000
4000
負責旅程中的後半段。
03:42
Now, Brunel was working 100 years before
76
210000
2000
至今 Brunel 已經是 100 年前的人
03:44
the emergence of the design profession,
77
212000
3000
但已經展現出設計的專業。
03:47
but I think he was using design thinking
78
215000
3000
但我認為他是使用設計思考
03:50
to solve problems and to create world-changing innovations.
79
218000
5000
來解決問題並隨著世界的變化進行創新。
03:55
Now, design thinking begins with what Roger Martin,
80
223000
2000
現在設計思考開始變成 Roger Martin，
03:57
the business school professor at the University of Toronto,
81
225000
3000
他是多倫多大學的商學院教授，
04:00
calls integrative thinking.
82
228000
2000
所說的整合式思考。
04:02
And that's the ability to exploit opposing ideas
83
230000
3000
這是一種開發對立理念的能力
04:05
and opposing constraints
84
233000
2000
一種脫離束縛
04:07
to create new solutions.
85
235000
2000
創造出新的解決方案的方法。
04:09
In the case of design, that means
86
237000
3000
對設計來說，這代表了
04:12
balancing desirability, what humans need,
87
240000
4000
把人類的需求
04:16
with technical feasibility,
88
244000
2000
與技術的可行性
04:18
and economic viability.
89
246000
3000
和經濟的發展力予以平衡。
04:21
With innovations like the Great Western,
90
249000
2000
用 Great Western 的創新模式，
04:23
we can stretch that balance to the absolute limit.
91
251000
4000
我們可以將平衡延展到絕對的界限。
04:27
So somehow, we went from this to this.
92
255000
7000
因此，我們從這升級到這。
04:34
Systems thinkers who were reinventing the world,
93
262000
3000
從獨立創造世界的系統思考者，
04:37
to a priesthood of folks in black turtlenecks and designer glasses
94
265000
5000
到穿戴黑色高圓套領衣服和造型眼鏡的偉大設計師們
04:42
working on small things.
95
270000
2000
而且做的是一些雞毛蒜皮的事。
04:44
As our industrial society matured,
96
272000
4000
隨著我們工業社會漸趨成熟，
04:48
so design became a profession
97
276000
2000
設計也變成一種職業
04:50
and it focused on an ever smaller canvas
98
278000
3000
而且聚焦在很小的範圍之中
04:53
until it came to stand for aesthetics,
99
281000
2000
直到它符合所謂的美學、
04:55
image and fashion.
100
283000
2000
形象和時尚。
04:57
Now I'm not trying to throw stones here.
101
285000
3000
我這並不是在潑冷水。
05:00
I'm a fully paid-up member of that priesthood,
102
288000
2000
我也是所謂偉大設計師中的一員。
05:02
and somewhere in here I have my designer glasses.
103
290000
2000
我好像也有一支這種造型眼鏡。
05:04
There we go.
104
292000
3000
在這裡。
05:07
But I do think that perhaps design
105
295000
2000
但是我認為也許設計
05:09
is getting big again.
106
297000
2000
又漸漸成為重要的一環。
05:11
And that's happening through
107
299000
3000
這發生在
05:14
the application of design thinking
108
302000
2000
設計思考的應用過程中
05:16
to new kinds of problems --
109
304000
2000
新的問題 --
05:18
to global warming, to education,
110
306000
2000
全球暖化、教育議題、
05:20
healthcare, security, clean water, whatever.
111
308000
4000
保健、安全性、淨水資源等等。
05:24
And as we see this reemergence of design thinking
112
312000
3000
我們看到設計思考重新嶄露頭角
05:27
and we see it beginning to tackle new kinds of problems,
113
315000
3000
也看到它開始抓到新的問題，
05:30
there are some basic ideas that I think we can observe that are useful.
114
318000
3000
這裡有一些有用的基本想法
05:33
And I'd like to talk about some of those
115
321000
2000
我想在接下來的幾分鐘
05:35
just for the next few minutes.
116
323000
2000
談談這些想法。
05:37
The first of those is that design is
117
325000
2000
第一個想法就是
05:39
human-centered.
118
327000
3000
以人為中心。
05:42
It may integrate technology and economics,
119
330000
2000
設計可以整合科技和經濟，
05:44
but it starts with what humans need, or might need.
120
332000
4000
但始終以人的需要或可能的需求為起點。
05:48
What makes life easier, more enjoyable?
121
336000
2000
怎樣讓生活更輕鬆、更有趣？
05:50
What makes technology useful and usable?
122
338000
4000
怎樣讓科技變得更有用、更好用？
05:54
But that is more than simply good ergonomics,
123
342000
3000
這不僅僅是人類工程學，
05:57
putting the buttons in the right place.
124
345000
3000
將按鈕放在正確的位置而已。
06:00
It's often about understanding culture and context
125
348000
3000
它通常需要了解文化和連帶關係
06:03
before we even know where to start to have ideas.
126
351000
3000
在我們開始有任何想法之前。
06:06
So when a team was working on a new vision screening program in India,
127
354000
4000
因此當團隊在印度進行一個新的視力檢查計劃時，
06:10
they wanted to understand what the aspirations
128
358000
2000
就必須了解這些學童希望達到何種目的
06:12
and motivations were of these school children
129
360000
3000
以及他們的動機
06:15
to understand how they might play a role
130
363000
2000
以了解他們在看父母親時，
06:17
in screening their parents.
131
365000
5000
可能如何扮演自己的角色。
06:22
Conversion Sound has developed a high quality,
132
370000
2000
Conversion Sound 開發了一種高品質，
06:24
ultra-low-cost digital hearing aid
133
372000
3000
低成本的數位助聽器
06:27
for the developing world.
134
375000
2000
供開發中國家使用。
06:29
Now, in the West we rely on highly trained technicians
135
377000
4000
在西方文明世界我們靠的是高度訓練的技術人員
06:33
to fit these hearing aids.
136
381000
2000
協助配戴這些助聽器。
06:35
In places like India, those technicians simply don't exist.
137
383000
4000
類似像印度這種地方並沒有所謂的技術人員
06:39
So it took a team working in India
138
387000
2000
所以小組成員必須在印度
06:41
with patients and community health workers
139
389000
2000
與病患和社區健康工作人員合作
06:43
to understand how a PDA
140
391000
2000
以了解 PDA
06:45
and an application on a PDA
141
393000
2000
以及 PDA 上的應用程式
06:47
might replace those technicians
142
395000
2000
如何取代這些技師
06:49
in a fitting and diagnostic service.
143
397000
3000
進行配戴和診斷的服務。
06:52
Instead of starting with technology,
144
400000
2000
傳統的方式是從技術著手，
06:54
the team started with people and culture.
145
402000
3000
我們的小組則以人和文化為起點。
06:57
So if human need is the place to start,
146
405000
3000
因此如果人的需求是一切的起點，
07:00
then design thinking rapidly moves on to
147
408000
2000
設計思考便成為一種學習的過程
07:02
learning by making.
148
410000
2000
而不是僅限於製造。
07:04
Instead of thinking about what to build,
149
412000
3000
不是去想說要製造什麼，
07:07
building in order to think.
150
415000
3000
而是為了思考而製造。
07:10
Now, prototypes speed up the process of innovation,
151
418000
3000
製作原型可以加速創新的過程。
07:13
because it is only when we put our ideas out into the world
152
421000
3000
因為它只是把想法表現出來
07:16
that we really start to understand their strengths and weaknesses.
153
424000
3000
用來真正開始了解它的優勢和劣勢。
07:19
And the faster we do that,
154
427000
2000
原型製作的越快，
07:21
the faster our ideas evolve.
155
429000
3000
想法發展的就越快。
07:24
Now, much has been said and written about
156
432000
2000
最近有許多文章提到
07:26
the Aravind Eye Institute in Madurai, India.
157
434000
3000
位於印度馬都賴的 Aravind 眼科醫院。
07:29
They do an incredible job of serving very poor patients
158
437000
4000
這家醫院在服務貧困病患的工作上的成效卓越
07:33
by taking the revenues from those who can afford to pay
159
441000
2000
他們向可負擔的病人收貴
07:35
to cross-subsidize those who cannot.
160
443000
4000
來補貼無法負擔費用的病患。
07:39
Now, they are very efficient,
161
447000
3000
他們不但非常有效率，
07:42
but they are also very innovative.
162
450000
3000
也非常創新。
07:45
When I visited them a few years ago,
163
453000
3000
幾年前我拜訪他們時，
07:48
what really impressed me was their willingness
164
456000
2000
真正另我印象深刻的是他們很願意
07:50
to prototype their ideas very early.
165
458000
2000
及早將想法原型化。
07:52
This is the manufacturing facility
166
460000
2000
這是一個製造設備
07:54
for one of their biggest cost breakthroughs.
167
462000
2000
他們最大的成本突破之一。
07:56
They make their own intraocular lenses.
168
464000
3000
他們製造自己的眼內透鏡。
07:59
These are the lenses that replace those
169
467000
2000
這些透鏡取代了
08:01
that are damaged by cataracts.
170
469000
2000
因為白內障而損壞的眼睛一。
08:03
And I think it's partly their prototyping mentality
171
471000
4000
我認為部分是因為他們的原型
08:07
that really allowed them to achieve the breakthrough.
172
475000
2000
讓他們有這樣的突破。
08:09
Because they brought the cost down
173
477000
2000
因為他們從一對
08:11
from $200 a pair,
174
479000
1000
美金 200 元的成本
08:12
down to just $4 a pair.
175
480000
5000
降到一對 4 美元。
08:17
Partly they did this by instead of building
176
485000
2000
部分的原因是因為他們並不是建造
08:19
a fancy new factory,
177
487000
2000
絢麗的新工廠，
08:21
they used the basement of one of their hospitals.
178
489000
4000
而是使用其中一家醫院的地下室。
08:25
And instead of installing the large-scale machines
179
493000
3000
他們不像西方的作法
08:28
used by western producers,
180
496000
2000
安裝大型機器，
08:30
they used low-cost CAD/CAM prototyping technology.
181
498000
4000
而是使用低成本的 CAD/CAM 原型製作技術。
08:34
They are now the biggest manufacturer of these lenses in the developing world
182
502000
4000
他們現在已經是開發中國家中最大的透鏡製造商
08:38
and have recently moved into a custom factory.
183
506000
4000
最近也搬到屬於自己的工廠。
08:42
So if human need is the place to start,
184
510000
2000
所以如果人的需求是一切的起點，
08:44
and prototyping, a vehicle for progress,
185
512000
2000
而原型又是演變的媒介，
08:46
then there are also some questions to ask about the destination.
186
514000
4000
我們就要問一些關於目標的問題。
08:50
Instead of seeing its primary objective as consumption,
187
518000
5000
設計思考並不是要看到主要的客觀意見，
08:55
design thinking is beginning to explore the potential of participation --
188
523000
3000
而是要開始探索分享的潛力。
08:58
the shift from a passive relationship
189
526000
3000
這種在消費者和製造者之間
09:01
between consumer and producer
190
529000
2000
的被動關係移轉到
09:03
to the active engagement of everyone
191
531000
2000
每個人主動的參與
09:05
in experiences that are meaningful,
192
533000
2000
有意義、有效率
09:07
productive and profitable.
193
535000
4000
和有利潤的體驗。
09:11
So I'd like to take the idea that Rory Sutherland talked about,
194
539000
3000
所以我想引用 Rory Sutherland 所說的概念，
09:14
this notion that intangible things are worth perhaps more than physical things,
195
542000
3000
這個概念就是無形的東西可能比有形的東西還有價值，
09:17
and take that a little bit further and say that
196
545000
2000
再延伸這個觀念
09:19
I think the design of participatory systems,
197
547000
3000
我認為在參與系統的設計中，
09:22
in which many more forms of value
198
550000
3000
有很多不同形式的價值在裡面
09:25
beyond simply cash
199
553000
2000
而不只是用金錢
09:27
are both created and measured,
200
555000
3000
來建立與衡量，
09:30
is going to be the major theme, not only for design,
201
558000
3000
這在將來會成為主流現象，而不只是設計而已，
09:33
but also for our economy as we go forward.
202
561000
4000
也伴隨了經濟的發展。
09:37
So William Beveridge, when he wrote the first of his famous reports in 1942,
203
565000
4000
William Beveridge 在 1942 年寫下他的第一份有名的報告時，
09:41
created what became Britain's welfare state
204
569000
4000
就致使英國成為福利之國
09:45
in which he hoped that every citizen
205
573000
3000
報告裡指出他希望每個公民
09:48
would be an active participant
206
576000
2000
都可以主動參與
09:50
in their own social well-being.
207
578000
2000
屬於他們的社會福利制度。
09:52
By the time he wrote his third report,
208
580000
3000
在他寫第三份報告時，
09:55
he confessed that he had failed
209
583000
2000
他坦承他失敗了
09:57
and instead had created a society of welfare consumers.
210
585000
6000
他創造的是一個福利消費者的社會。
10:03
Hilary Cottam, Charlie Leadbeater,
211
591000
2000
Hillary Cottam、Charlie Ledbetter、
10:05
and Hugo Manassei of Participle
212
593000
2000
和 Participle 的 Hugo Manassei
10:07
have taken this idea of participation,
213
595000
3000
把這個參與系統的想法，
10:10
and in their manifesto entitled Beveridge 4.0,
214
598000
3000
套用在他們的 Beveridge 4.0 宣言中，
10:13
they are suggesting a framework
215
601000
2000
他們提倡一種架構
10:15
for reinventing the welfare state.
216
603000
3000
來改造福利國家。
10:18
So in one of their projects called Southwark Circle,
217
606000
2000
在他們的其中一個 Southwark Circle 專案中
10:20
they worked with residents in Southwark, South London
218
608000
3000
他們和倫敦南部 Southwark 的居民合作
10:23
and a small team of designers
219
611000
2000
加上一小組的設計師
10:25
to develop a new membership organization
220
613000
4000
來發展新的會員組織
10:29
to help the elderly with household tasks.
221
617000
3000
協助年長者從事家務。
10:32
Designs were refined and developed
222
620000
2000
這個計畫不斷地改進和發展
10:34
with 150 older people and their families
223
622000
3000
囊括了 150 位老人及其家庭
10:37
before the service was launched earlier this year.
224
625000
5000
這個服務已經在今年初正式啟動。
10:42
We can take this idea of participation
225
630000
4000
我們可以把這種共同參與的想法
10:46
perhaps to its logical conclusion
226
634000
2000
歸納成一個有邏輯的結論
10:48
and say that design may have its greatest impact
227
636000
2000
而且可以說設計可以達到最大的影響力
10:50
when it's taken out of the hands of designers
228
638000
3000
前提是要把設計從設計師的手中
10:53
and put into the hands of everyone.
229
641000
3000
交到每個人的手上。
10:56
Nurses and practitioners at U.S. healthcare system
230
644000
3000
美國保健系統的護士和參與者
10:59
Kaiser Permanente
231
647000
2000
Kaiser Permanente
11:01
study the topic of improving the patient experience,
232
649000
5000
研究如何改善病患經驗的主題。
11:06
and particularly focused on the way that they exchange knowledge
233
654000
5000
而且特別注重在他們交換知識的方式
11:11
and change shift.
234
659000
3000
以及輪班的方式。
11:14
Through a program of observational research,
235
662000
2000
透過觀察研究、
11:16
brainstorming new solutions and rapid prototyping,
236
664000
3000
腦力激盪新的解決方案，以及快速製作原型的一系列程序，
11:19
they've developed a completely new way to change shift.
237
667000
3000
他們發展出一套全新的輪班方式。
11:22
They went from retreating to the nurse's station
238
670000
4000
他們從撤除護士站開始
11:26
to discuss the various states and needs of patients,
239
674000
2000
討論各種狀況和病患的需求，
11:28
to developing a system that happened on the ward
240
676000
3000
來發展出一套病房事務的系統
11:31
in front of patients, using a simple software tool.
241
679000
3000
只使用一個簡單的軟體工具。
11:34
By doing this they brought the time that they were away from patients
242
682000
2000
藉此他們把離開病患的時間
11:36
down from 40 minutes to 12 minutes, on average.
243
684000
4000
從平均 40 分鐘降到平均 12 分鐘。
11:40
They increased patient confidence and nurse happiness.
244
688000
4000
他們提升了病患的信心和護士的幸福感。
11:44
When you multiply that by all the nurses
245
692000
2000
把所有的護士的幸福感加乘
11:46
in all the wards in 40 hospitals in the system,
246
694000
3000
並擴及系統內 40 家醫院的所有病房，
11:49
it resulted, actually, in a pretty big impact.
247
697000
2000
便造成了巨大的影響。
11:51
And this is just one of thousands
248
699000
2000
而這只是在保健系統
11:53
of opportunities in healthcare alone.
249
701000
6000
機會裡面的千分之一而已。
11:59
So these are just some of the kind of basic ideas
250
707000
3000
這些只是一些關於設計思考的
12:02
around design thinking
251
710000
2000
基本想法
12:04
and some of the new kinds of projects
252
712000
2000
以及一些他們正在應用
12:06
that they're being applied to.
253
714000
3000
的新專案。
12:09
But I'd like to go back to Brunel here,
254
717000
2000
現在我要回到 Brunel 這裡，
12:11
and suggest a connection that might explain why this is happening now,
255
719000
4000
並提議一個可能解釋發生原因的連結，
12:15
and maybe why design thinking is a useful tool.
256
723000
5000
以及為什麼設計思考是一個有用的工具。
12:20
And that connection is change.
257
728000
3000
這個連結就是「改變」。
12:23
In times of change we need
258
731000
2000
我們需要改變
12:25
new alternatives, new ideas.
259
733000
4000
新的選擇，新的想法。
12:29
Now, Brunel worked at the height of the Industrial Revolution,
260
737000
2000
Brunel 是在工業革命的高度工作
12:31
when all of life and our economy
261
739000
2000
當我們的生活和經濟
12:33
was being reinvented.
262
741000
2000
被重新改造之時。
12:35
Now the industrial systems of Brunel's time have run their course,
263
743000
4000
雖然現在看 Brunel 的的工業系統是有些過時，
12:39
and indeed they are part of the problem today.
264
747000
2000
而且說實話也造成現今一些問題。
12:41
But, again, we are in the midst of massive change.
265
749000
4000
但是，我們正處在巨大變革的洪流中。
12:45
And that change is forcing us to question
266
753000
3000
而這樣的變革迫使我們去質疑
12:48
quite fundamental aspects of our society --
267
756000
2000
而且是社會非常基本的角度 --
12:50
how we keep ourselves healthy, how we govern ourselves,
268
758000
3000
我們要如何保持健康、如何自我管理、
12:53
how we educate ourselves, how we keep ourselves secure.
269
761000
4000
如何自我教育、如何保護自身安全。
12:57
And in these times of change, we need these new choices
270
765000
3000
在這個變動的時代，我們需要新的選擇
13:00
because our existing solutions are simply becoming obsolete.
271
768000
5000
因為既有的解決方案只會慢慢被淘汰。
13:05
So why design thinking?
272
773000
2000
那為什麼要有設計思考呢？
13:07
Because it gives us a new way of tackling problems.
273
775000
3000
因為它提供我們追蹤問題的新方法。
13:10
Instead of defaulting to our normal convergent approach
274
778000
5000
不再是預設的單一方法
13:15
where we make the best choice out of available alternatives,
275
783000
4000
而是在眾多的選項中挑選出最好的，
13:19
it encourages us to take a divergent approach,
276
787000
3000
它鼓勵我們去嘗試不同的方法，
13:22
to explore new alternatives, new solutions,
277
790000
2000
來探索新的可能性、新的解決方案、
13:24
new ideas that have not existed before.
278
792000
4000
以及前所未有的新想法。
13:28
But before we go through that process of divergence,
279
796000
2000
但是在我們採用不同的流程時，
13:30
there is actually quite an important first step.
280
798000
3000
有一個很重要的第一步。
13:33
And that is, what is the question that we're trying to answer?
281
801000
3000
第一步就是：我們要回答的問題是什麼？
13:36
What's the design brief?
282
804000
2000
設計的概要是什麼？
13:38
Now Brunel may have asked a question like this,
283
806000
2000
Brunel 可能會問這樣的問題：
13:40
"How do I take a train from London to New York?"
284
808000
4000
「我要如何從倫敦搭火車到紐約呢？」
13:44
But what are the kinds of questions that we might ask today?
285
812000
4000
但是如今我們會問什麼樣的問題呢？
13:48
So these are some that we've been asked to think about recently.
286
816000
6000
這些就是我們最近被要求思考的一些事情。
13:54
And one in particular, is one that we're working on with the Acumen Fund,
287
822000
3000
其中一個特別的案例就是跟 Acumen 基金合作的一個專案，
13:57
in a project that's been funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
288
825000
4000
這是一個由 Bill 和 Melinda Gates 基金會發起的專案。
14:01
How might we improve access to safe drinking water
289
829000
3000
我們要如何為世界上最窮困的人
14:04
for the world's poorest people,
290
832000
2000
改善安全飲用水的品質，
14:06
and at the same time stimulate innovation
291
834000
2000
並同時刺激當地
14:08
amongst local water providers?
292
836000
4000
水供應商的創新？
14:12
So instead of having a bunch of American designers
293
840000
2000
因此我們並不雇用一堆的美國設計師
14:14
come up with new ideas that may or may not have been appropriate,
294
842000
3000
來想出一些可能恰當或不恰當的新點子，
14:17
we took a sort of more open, collaborative and participative approach.
295
845000
4000
我們採用一種更開放、更需要協同作業和參與的方式。
14:21
We teamed designers and investment experts up with
296
849000
3000
我們聚集了一個由設計師和投資專家
14:24
11 water organizations across India.
297
852000
3000
以及印度境內 11 個水資源組織組成的小組。
14:27
And through workshops they developed
298
855000
2000
透過研討會的進行
14:29
innovative new products, services, and business models.
299
857000
3000
來發展有創意的產品、服務和商業模式。
14:32
We hosted a competition
300
860000
2000
我們舉辦了一個競賽
14:34
and then funded five of those organizations
301
862000
2000
然後提供資金給五個組織
14:36
to develop their ideas.
302
864000
2000
來發展他們的點子。
14:38
So they developed and iterated these ideas.
303
866000
2000
他們發展並重製這些點子。
14:40
And then IDEO and Acumen spent several weeks working with them
304
868000
3000
接著 IDEO 和 Acumen 花了數個星期跟他們一起工作
14:43
to help design new social marketing campaigns,
305
871000
5000
來協助設計新的社會行銷活動、
14:48
community outreach strategies, business models,
306
876000
3000
社區擴大服務策略、商業模式、
14:51
new water vessels for storing water
307
879000
2000
新的儲水容器
14:53
and carts for delivering water.
308
881000
3000
以及運送水的推車等。
14:56
Some of those ideas are just getting launched into the market.
309
884000
2000
其中某些的點子已經開始出現在市場上。
14:58
And the same process is just getting underway
310
886000
2000
而同樣的流程也在
15:00
with NGOs in East Africa.
311
888000
3000
東非的非政府組織 (NGO) 發生。
15:03
So for me, this project shows
312
891000
3000
因此對我而言，這個專案展現了
15:06
kind of how far we can go from
313
894000
2000
我們可以達到這樣的境界
15:08
some of those sort of small things
314
896000
2000
即使是其中有一些是如此的不起眼
15:10
that I was working on
315
898000
2000
而在我的職業生涯
15:12
at the beginning of my career.
316
900000
2000
的一開始就已經在做了。
15:14
That by focusing on the needs of humans
317
902000
4000
聚焦在人類的需求上
15:18
and by using prototypes
318
906000
2000
並使用原型的方法
15:20
to move ideas along quickly,
319
908000
2000
來快速推動新的想法，
15:22
by getting the process out of the hands of designers,
320
910000
3000
讓這些流程離開設計師的手
15:25
and by getting the active participation of the community,
321
913000
3000
並透過群體的主動參與，
15:28
we can tackle bigger and more interesting questions.
322
916000
3000
我們就能抓住更大、更有趣的問題。
15:31
And just like Brunel, by focusing on systems,
323
919000
3000
就像 Brunel 一樣，聚焦在系統上，
15:34
we can have a bigger impact.
324
922000
3000
我們可以造成極大的影響力。
15:37
So that's one thing that we've been working on.
325
925000
3000
這也是我們正在努力做的。
15:40
I'm actually really quite interested, and perhaps more interested
326
928000
3000
我其實很想要
15:43
to know what this community thinks we could work on.
327
931000
4000
知道這個社群認為我們可以做到什麼地步。
15:47
What kinds of questions do we think
328
935000
3000
我們想的是什麼樣的問題
15:50
design thinking could be used to tackle?
329
938000
3000
設計思考可以如何應用？
15:53
And if you've got any ideas
330
941000
2000
如果你有任何想法
15:55
then feel free, you can post them to Twitter.
331
943000
2000
歡迎把它們 PO 到 Twitter 上。
15:57
There is a hash tag there that you can use, #CBDQ.
332
945000
3000
你們可以用 hash tag #CBDQ 標籤來搜尋。
16:00
And the list looked something like this a little while ago.
333
948000
3000
這個清單看起來好像有點過時。
16:03
And of course you can search to find the questions that you're interested in
334
951000
4000
當然你也可以搜尋你有興趣的問題
16:07
by using the same hash code.
335
955000
2000
只要使用相同的 hash 碼標籤即可。
16:09
So I'd like to believe that design thinking
336
957000
4000
我堅信設計思考
16:13
actually can make a difference,
337
961000
2000
可以讓世界變得不同，
16:15
that it can help create new ideas
338
963000
2000
它可以幫助啟發新的想法，
16:17
and new innovations,
339
965000
2000
和新的創新，
16:19
beyond the latest High Street products.
340
967000
2000
而不只是熱門商品而已。
16:21
To do that I think we have to take a more expansive view of design,
341
969000
4000
因此我想我們必須把設計的眼光放遠一些，
16:25
more like Brunel, less a domain of a professional priesthood.
342
973000
6000
學習 Brunel，不要只把範圍侷限在專業領域而已。
16:31
And the first step is to start asking the right questions.
343
979000
3000
而第一步就是從問正確的問題開始。
16:34
Thank you very much.
344
982000
2000
非常感謝。
16:36
(Applause)
345
984000

Why you should listen
Tim Brown is the CEO of innovation and design firm IDEO, taking an approach to design that digs deeper than the surface. Having taken over from founder David E. Kelley, Tim Brown carries forward the firm's mission of fusing design, business and social studies to come up with deeply researched, deeply understood designs and ideas -- they call it "design thinking."
IDEO is the kind of firm that companies turn to when they want a top-down rethink of a business or product -- from fast food conglomerates to high-tech startups, hospitals to universities.
IDEO has designed and prototyped everything from a life-saving portable defibrillator to the defining details at the groundbreaking Prada shop in Manhattan to corporate processes. And check out the Global Chain Reaction for a sample of how seriously this firm takes play.
