- 3:17business
- 3:17driven
- 3:17innovation.
- 3:18So
- 3:18Toyota
- 3:19Lean
- 3:19Principle
- 3:19told
- 3:20us,
- 3:20okay,
- 3:21maybe
- 3:21we
- 3:21don't
- 3:21have
- 3:21to
- 3:22create
- 3:22everything
- 3:22when
- 3:22you
- 3:22have
- 3:22to
- 3:23create
- 3:23it
- 3:23lean
- 3:23or
- 3:23cheaper
- 3:24in
- 3:25a
- 3:25global
- 3:25way
- 3:25so
- 3:26that
- 3:26it's
- 3:26more
- 3:26affordable
- 3:27because
- 3:28now
- 3:28there
- 3:28is
- 3:28the
- 3:28competition.
- 3:29And
- 3:29then
- 3:29came
- 3:29the
- 3:29Silicon
- 3:30Valley
- 3:30guys
- 3:30and
- 3:30told
- 3:30us
- 3:31it's
- 3:31all
- 3:31about
- 3:31user
- 3:32experience,
- 3:32user
- 3:33experience
- 3:33first,
- 3:34which
- 3:34is
- 3:34good
- 3:35because
- 3:35we
- 3:35want
- 3:35to
- 3:35have
- 3:35appealing
- 3:36products.
- 3:36But
- 3:37I
- 3:37think
- 3:37sometimes
- 3:37they
- 3:37are
- 3:38designing
- 3:38problems
- 3:39which
- 3:39are
- 3:39not
- 3:39there
- 3:40in
- 3:40order
- 3:40to
- 3:40sell
- 3:40us
- 3:41stuff
- 3:41we
- 3:41don't
- 3:42need.
- 3:42So
- 3:42I
- 3:42think
- 3:43at
- 3:43the
- 3:43end
- 3:43of
- 3:43the
- 3:43day,
- 3:44innovators
- 3:45love
- 3:45nothing
- 3:45more
- 3:46than
- 3:46problem
- 3:46solving.
- 3:48Enterprises
- 3:48are
- 3:49problem
- 3:49solving
- 3:49machines.
- 3:50And
- 3:50the
- 3:50biggest
- 3:50problems
- 3:51of
- 3:51our
- 3:51time
- 3:52are
- 3:53in
- 3:53the
- 3:53area
- 3:54of
- 3:54sustainability,
- 3:54planetary
- 3:55societal
- 3:56problems.
- 3:56So
- 3:57193
- 3:58countries
- 3:58across
- 3:59the
- 3:59globe
- 3:59agree
- 3:59that
- 4:00we
- 4:00have
- 4:00to
- 4:00solve
- 4:00the
- 4:0017
- 4:01Sustainable
- 4:01Development
- 4:02Goals.
- 4:03And
- 4:03these
- 4:03are
- 4:04sustainability
- 4:04topics.
- 4:05And
- 4:05that's
- 4:06why
- 4:06I
- 4:06think
- 4:06there
- 4:06is
- 4:06another
- 4:07approach
- 4:07to
- 4:07innovation
- 4:08you
- 4:08have
- 4:08to
- 4:08try
- 4:08out.
- 4:08I
- 4:09don't
- 4:09say
- 4:10you
- 4:10don't
- 4:10have
- 4:10to
- 4:10do
- 4:10tech
- 4:11push
- 4:11or
- 4:11user
- 4:11centered
- 4:12or
- 4:12business
- 4:12model,
- 4:13but
- 4:13why
- 4:14not
- 4:14using
- 4:14sustainability
- 4:15as
- 4:15innovation
- 4:16search
- 4:16field?
- 4:16And
- 4:17this
- 4:17is
- 4:17called
- 4:17planet
- 4:17centered
- 4:18innovation.
- 4:18And
- 4:19this
- 4:19is
- 4:19something,
- 4:20I
- 4:20wrote
- 4:20a
- 4:20book
- 4:21about
- 4:21it
- 4:21and
- 4:21I
- 4:21want
- 4:21to
- 4:21share
- 4:22this
- 4:22knowledge
- 4:22because
- 4:22it
- 4:23only
- 4:23works
- 4:23if
- 4:24everybody's
- 4:24doing
- 4:24it.
- 4:24It's
- 4:25not
- 4:25about
- 4:25competitive
- 4:25advantage,
- 4:26rather
- 4:26collaborative
- 4:27advantage.
- 4:28Right.
- 4:28So
- 4:28when
- 4:28I
- 4:29hear
- 4:29you
- 4:29say
- 4:29that,
- 4:29I
- 4:29mean
