Frugal Innovation

It is the ability to generate considerably more business and social value while significantly reducing the use of scarce resources. It is a game-changing strategy for an “Age of Austerity” in which firms are being compelled by cost-conscious and eco-aware consumers, employees, and governments to create offerings that are simultaneously affordable, sustainable, and of high quality. Even more than a strategy, frugal innovation is a whole new mindset, a flexible approach that perceives resource constraints not as a debilitating challenge but as a growth opportunity.

Its about the journey into the cloud of opportunities. Through guided strategic conversations with companies and individuals we can discover the unknown, learn from unexpected perspectives and build on our individual or collaborative insights
