Frugal innovation is the ability to “do more with less”: that is, to reduce complexity and create significantly more business and social value while minimizing the use of increasingly limited resources. Thousands of inventive entrepreneurs and firms in resource-constrained emerging markets like India, China, Africa, and Brazil apply frugal innovation techniques to create simple but highly-effective solutions that deliver more value to customers at lower cost. Using many real-life case studies (Renault-Nissan, GE, Siemens, Unilever), Navi will show how you can apply the frugal innovation tools, techniques and mindset to address the needs of cost-conscious and eco-aware consumers worldwide in sectors ranging from healthcare to manufacturing to energy to education to financial services. Navi will also describe the grassroots “frugal innovation movement” unfolding across US and Europe, led by progressive government agencies like FEMA and SCIP, next-gen incubators like TechShop and Rock Health, and visionary universities like Stanford and MIT.
