TED: Breakthrough designs for ultra-low-cost products

http://www.ted.com/talks/r_a_mashelkar_breakthrough_designs_for_ultra_low_cost_products.html
great leader: Innovation,  Compassion,  Passion

[example 1] The Making of Nano:
  Began with 5 engineer team--->Avg age: 27 yrs
  Vehicle was not defined-Cost was defined
   "Question the unquestionable"-->Stretch the envelope

 Innovation in Design and beyond for Nano:
   a 2 cylinder gas engine used in a car with single balance shaft
   adhesives were replacing the rivets
   co-creation with vendors and suppliers
   100 vendors co-located adjacent to the plant
   innovative business model for automobile dealership
 

Open Innovation:
   Seeking solutions from non-auto sectors (cross-field)
 
 Key point:
   getting more from less (for more people)

   each component had to have a dual functionality
    ex: seat riser serving as a mounting for the seat as well as a structural part of the functional rigidity

 Transformational Innovation : from technological innovation to social innovation

[example 2] $28 Foot
   Revolutionary prosthetic fitment and delivery system
   Quick molding and modular components enabling custom made on-the-spot limb fitments
    New material for outer socket as opposed to traditional heated sheets

[example 3] health (drug development)
    much more cost of development and longer time but fewer new drugs such as Psoriasis Treatment
    traditional way: molecule to mice to men
    innovative way: men to mice to men

                 not low cost , it is ultra-low cost
                 not affordability, it is extreme affordability
                 not exclusive innovation, it is inclusive innovation
                 not incremental innovation, it is disruptive innovation
                 you think in completely different terms


"when you wish to achieve results that have not been achieved before, it is an unwise fancy to think that
  they can be achieved by using methods that have been used before" -Sir Francis Bacon

"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed"-Mahatma Gandhi

"if you do not diffuse your energies, if you focus your energies, you can achieve anything in the world"
"focus and you can achieve"
