Focusing on the principles of frugal innovation and components reuse, this workshop will guide participants through the process of innovating within budget constraints and sustainability goals. We will share case studies where these principles have been successfully applied, and participants will practice on real-world examples how to leverage existing assets to enhance product offerings and reduce costs.

Key Learnings:

  • Understanding the "Jugaad" principles of frugal innovation and how to apply them in different business contexts.
  • Practical tips to implement frugal innovation at scale thanks to bottom-up approach and inclusivity.
  • Developing an ingenuity mindset for sustainable product development and innovation.
  • Strategies for reusing various types of components, APIs, design templates or code along the product development cycle.
  • First steps to foster ingenious habits among teams to implement 'Sustainability hacks' and enhance job satisfaction in the long run.
