Frugal Innovation: Making a Culture of Ownership
The frugal innovation movement is shifting the paradigm and mentality of society. A “frugal” mentality is not only about doing more with less, but creating an even bigger difference than what was originally possible by reducing the complexity of a product or service to maximize impact. Products coming out of this movement are much more closely aligned with social good such as Embrace, an infant baby warmer that has saved more than 90,000 infants, or D-Rev’s ReMotion Knee. The maker movement is a large part of frugal innovation—prototypes and iterations are critical to the success of innovative projects.
