A crash course in changing the world.
Get to know the People and their Needs"
This would be my secret, I just recently saw a Video titled "Debunking third-world myths with the best
stats you've ever seen - Hans Rosling; http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html
”
a presentation at one of the TED conferences, and it helped me question my
preconception, about the challenges of the world around me, and begged the
question, who really needs the solution I have and where do they live?
I fear that a large part of my thinking has been characterized by polarizations that
are false, seeing that if I looked closer, I would find that amongst the places
where I thought problems lie, some people actually do not need my solution. I
live in a country that would considered by all standards a Third World country,
yet to assume that everyone lives on less than a dollar would be wrong on so
many fronts, to help these people one would need to interact when closely.
For me the key to any kind of innovation hinges on the accurate understanding of
the people and their needs, a sort of “Walking in their shoes” this I believe
would present the problem, the foundation on which a simple, people centric
solution can be built.
