“Sustainable Design for the Emerging Markets”

is my graduation project in the field of Design

Research, realized in the academic year 2009-

2010. Dr. Chris Baelus and David Peck from Tu

Delft acted as mentors.

Multinationals Focus on New “Emerging”

Markets.

The western markets are saturated and more

and more multinationals focus on big emerging

markets as India, China and Brazil to realize

higher growth. It concerns a market of 2.7

billion persons whose income lays between 2

and 8 dollars PPP.

The Road to Radical and Sustainable

Innovation?

Because of Ecological issues, a new approach

is needed to fulfill the needs of these markets

in an Ecological sustainable way.

Following the path of the emerged markets

isn’t opportune and designing for the

emerging markets forces companies to

question the existing paradigms.

The goal of this project was to map how the

specific characteristics of designing for the

emerging markets offers opportunities and

threats to design more Eco-friendly products.


ent

Research Method

This project is based on a triangle structure,

where, started from abstract terms about

designing for the emerging markets and Eco

design, the relation was sought with more

practical guidelines. A list with 53 business

plan principles for the emerging markets was

created and these guidelines were compared

with the guidelines of the LiDS strategies. These

are 8 strategies that measure the Ecological

sustainability over the whole life cycle of a

product or service.

This theoretical model was tested on some

cases. The research methods used in this project

are in depth interviews, literature study and

desk research.

Conclusions:

• Opportunities and threats

• Radical ecological innovation

• Relation BoP terms

• Cases -> few contradictions

• Few negative correlations

• Scope LiDS strategies

--> Consumers’ awareness ?

--> Marketing ?

Influence on LiDS strategies

Methodology: The relation between ecological, social and economical sustainability

Case study: The influence of the business plan principles on the LiDS wheel strategies

Outcome

The study resulted in a list of 53 concrete

business plan principles, a matrix which shows

the correlation between these 53 principles

and their Eco impact and the clustering of

the most important business plan principles.

Furthermore the theoretical model was tested

on 3 cases.

Product Development for the Slums

BoP-iD is a business concept of a limited liability

company (ltda.) in Rio de Janeiro, developed in

combination with my master thesis project.

BoP-iD is situated in the consultancy sector and,

inspired by C.K.Prahalad, it is addressing the

forgotten markets of Brazil. The company addresses

Small and Medium Enterprises to encourage them

to design for the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP).

BoP-iD helps to create free competitive markets in

the favelas and to eradicate poverty while making

profits.

Tapping Local Knowledge and Networks

BoP-iD is specialized in dealing with the difficulties

BoP companies experience. These are related with

the networking and understanding of the local

situation. BoP-iD remains in very close contact with

NGOs and the local population and in this way, it

obtains high quality, high valued information for a

relatively low cost, resulting in relatively high profits.

A Unique Position within a New Market

The biggest advantage of BoP-iD is that it is

addressing companies who want to design for

emerging market, this is an innovative idea in a

niche market that is caracterized as having few

competitors and hard to enter. This offers BoP-

iD exclusive access to essential information and

networks needed to exploit these markets.

Jente Minne BoP-iD Business plan 2009-2010

The flexible labour contracts, facilitate to hire people for a short time and thus to be more flexible and efficient. The company needs a relatively small investment in the beginning (1 year of research, no production infrastructure) and it is situated in a profitable industry, while the labour costs are cheap. This can justify the risks of the project: the difficulties to predict the demand and the fact that the time to earn some money will be longer than in a usual consultancy office. The fact that BoP-iD barely has direct competition and is operating in a fast growing, market, can cause a strategical advantage which positive for the long term sustainability of the company.Starting with small units, which can expand if they are successful, has a positive impact on the weaknesses and the threats; BoP-iD won’t be depending on only 1 region and design solutions can be implemented in different markets at the same time. This offers bigger and better scaling for BoP companies and thus more profits, this will give me a strategical advantage over copy cats.

- Few competition- Low income and flexible labour contracts - Local expertise- Multilingual- Motivation- Innovative service in profitable industry- Multidisciplinary approach- Flexibility and adjusted service - Relatively Small investment- Big profits- Social responsible company (CSR)- Specialized in micro financing

- Fast growing market- Very big and expanded market (Brazil)- Following economical trends- Trend: Ethical entrepreneurship and CSR- Professionalisation of the NGOs- Geographical spreading + unity of language- Networking with civil organisations universities and local companies(Co-creation)- Economical crisis en small growth --> companies are searching alternative markets- Flexibility and local directed of SMEs

- Brain drain- Level of education employers- Cultural and linguistic differences- Hard to predict the market- High adaptation for SMEs- Limited resources- No experience and reputation- High dependency on other institutions

- Competition/ monopoly MNCs- Safety issues in the favelas- Ecological issues- Acceptance of local population- Competition of big consultancy offices - Less big investments because of the crisis- Prejudices about BoP/favela population- Period until first earnings is longer than a common design or consultancy office- Hard to find the investors for BoP-iD

6 Swot analysis

CSR, a Road to Success

BoP-iD is a Corporate Social Responsible

company that follows a new trend of acting as a

civil organization in an economical sustainable

way. It does so by concreting his slogan: “Think

globally, act locally”

This project was selected in the top 10 of the

idea phase of bizzidee, a Dutch competition for

innovative business plans.

Jente Minne BoP-iD Business plan 2009-2010

This scheme shows the extra value BoP-iD will produce and it explains the importance of good networking. More information about the activities (shown in the rectangle boxes) will be provided on the next page. The green boxes are the activities BoP-iD will generate income with.

With the start up, BoP-iD will execute research and networking, and will obtain interesting strategical information. This information will be put in a presentation and presented to the elected companies. If the company is interested, a contract can be signed and BoP-iD can offer the company general consultancy, services in relation with the design of the BoP business plan/product/service and broker services.

The services related to the design process are always executed in cooperation with the customers, the civil societies organizations and the client (company).The physical design of the product and service are left to the companies, since it is known that they don’t have big issues with this topic, and since they have more experience and infrastructure to complete this task. While networking, co-creation with the BoP population and dealing with BoP issues, will be executed by BoP-iD

After the implementation of the product, the company will ask feedback from the NGOs and the client and after services as customer satisfaction, product upgrade or publicity/service upgrades can be offered.

On the next page the activities will be described more into detail.

Logo design: The Global Partneship (UNEP)

The Global Partnership

This was a voluntary assignment done for the

Global Partnership for sustainable tourism,

a Project under the convention of UNEP-

DTIE with the Ministère de L’écologie, du

dévelopment Durable des transports et du

Logement (MEEDDM).

The assignment was defined as the design

of several official UN logo concepts, which

combines the traditional UN attributes and

specifications with a modern look defined by

their house style.

Logo Design

A file with more than 30 different concepts

and variations was created where, in an

itinary process, became clear what kind of

logo was requested. In order to come to the

3 final concepts,an agreement between 2

consultants, a trainee, the 2 founders of the

Partnership and the webdesigner needed to

be achieved. The main challenges of this task

were the generation of creative ideas while

being restricted by many specifications and the

reconciliation of everybody’s wishes involved

in the process.

When the visitor clicks on a publication in “latest entries” , “my favourites” or in the “search publications” tabs. The visitors gets to the latest consulted screen where a preview of the selected publication appears in front. if the publications are shown on this screen, they will become white in the “latest entries” or “my favourite” fields. Like this the visitor knows that these publications are open in his “latest consulted “section. This is analogical with the white color in the side Browser that indicates that the respectively section is open. The publications can be removed from the latest consulted section by pushing the red X on the preview page. In this way a quick comparissons can be made between several publications. The “latest consulted” section can be seen as a dock for interesting publications.

The preview of the document exists out of 2 parts: The left part containts all basic information as the key words, the full title, the author, the date a small summary and a rating system. The right side exist of a preview of the whole document. This can maybe be embedded from issuu. Further it containts a “mail to”, “add to favourites”, “rate”, “download”, “print”, “ flag” and “comments” function. When we click on the publications below, it will come in front and the other publications will all get 1 tab behind.If the file is copyrighted, the preview functions shows only the cover or the cover and a few allowed pages. In that case, the cover image should be a link to a website where the file can be purchased. every file also has a comments and links subpage, if this one is selected a blue screen comes over the ISSUU embed with the comments and references to other pages.

Knowledge Center on Cities ?

One of the shorter projects during the

internship at UNEP was the creation of a

concept of an online Knowledge Center on

Cities and Climate Change. This Center allows

all registered members to consult, upload,

comment , rate,... publications related to

Sustainable Practises in cities. The Concept

is inspired by a project done before at ESDI

in Rio de Janeiro, in cooperation with Patrick

Bliss, a student at the Wuppertal Design

University. The main idea of this project was

the use of adaptive hypermedia, a technique

to overcome overflow of information.

Knowledge Center on Cities and Climate Change

Website Structure

Every page on the website exist out of small

archive style subpages displaying only the

essential information. A system of easy

switching between several subtabs makes it

a lot easier to search, compare and comment

on Publications. The use of already existing

only applications simplifies the development

of the website and logging in on the website

allows the user to see its latest consulted

publications and its favourite publications.

Hospital + : The New Hospital ExperienceProject Presentation

The hospital + project was a project together

with 4 other master students.

It was a cooperation with Philips, Boonen and

the artesis superior school and the task was to

implement “hospitality” in health care centers.

The skills evaluated in this project were design

research, conceptual and futuristic thinking,

team work, usability studies, project and budget

planning and presentation skills.

This project was supported by an

interdisciplinary team of Economics,

sociologists, engineers, people involved with

health care and designers .

Hospital +: Share Time, Save Life

Because of demographic an Economical issues,

Public hospitals in europe will need to cut costs

if they want to remain economically viable. But

At the same time, there can’t be compromised

on quality.Thus hospitals try to shorten the stay

of their patients as much as possible in order to

cut costs. This is a paradox since an increased

amount of people need time to rest.

The “Hospital+” bed is a sustainable concept

that deals with these issues, it offers a high

technological solution which allows patients to

retreat in a personal cocoon to revitalize their

mind and body and to overcome their illness

with friends. The moto is “share time, save life”.

Group Design in a Multicultural Environment

The design course the first semester of my

master in Rio de Janeiro existed out of a

redesign of a taxi in Rio de Janeiro,

In a group of students, we had to redesign the

dashboard, the seats and the exterior of the car.

The goal of this project was to learn to work

together in group on a project where several

parts needed to be attuned to each other.

Working in a multicultural environment was the

extra challenge I had to overcome, since the

methodology used in ESDI differs a lot from the

methodology used in our institution.

A GPS Device for Runnners

This assignment was given by the company

“Mio”. A GPS device for runners had to be

designed. Customer’s research revealed that

the main demands for runners were wearability,

easy access to specific information while

running and incensitives to keep the runner

motivated to continue running.

MIO SmartRunner

Design Skills Concept

This concept is a GPS device that could

be inserted in a sweatband or attached to

running shorts. All the information the runner

needs, can be obtained with only 2 clicks on

the touch screen. If desired, some information

can be given through headphones and the

device can also warn runners using a vibration

function.

Design 5.1: collapsibles

Collapsible beach cabin

For our assignment of collapsible we’ve fo-cussed on a regional problem. In Belgium the weather allows us to set up strand cabins from May until September. The traditional cabins are from wood and need to be set up and broke down manually. Our goal was to design beach cabins for rent companies that can be set up and broken down very fast, that takes nearly no space when the are collapsed and that aren’t so heavy as the traditional ones. This saves rent companies a lot of mon-ey, and saves the environment. Our cabins are ready to use with only 1 action...

The beach cabin can be collapsed very easily with a tow bar; the beach cabin will collapse from itself by gravitation force.

The beach cabin gets folded very thin which lower transportation and storage costs and which helps the environment .

Foldable Eco Beach Cabin

Eco Efficiency through Material Innovation

This foldable Eco Beach cabin was an

assignment executed in the 2nd bachiler

together with my colleague Jeroen

Vandemeulebroeke.The focus of this assignment

was collapsible products. In Belgium, the

weather allows us to set up strand cabins from

May until September and the traditional cabins

are from wood and need to be set up and broke

down manually. Our goal was to design beach

cabins for rent companies that can be set up

and broken down fast. The cabin takes nearly

no space when they are folded and they are

significantly lighter than the traditional cabins.

This results in a more environmental friendly

product and cost savings for rent companies.

A life cycle Eco- technique has been used to

verify the ecological impact of this product.

Design Skills

This project was a cooperation with 2 colleagues

in the second year of my studies. It involved

the redesign of products related to water .

The main goal of this assignment was to make

product ergonomical by adapting their form

and to make a coherent product family, without

forgetting the necessary technical aspects.

Ergonomic Firemen Nozzle

My cooperation was the design of a firemen

nozzle that is easier to handle because it

eliminates the big moment force on the arm

and wrist that the traditional nozzle causes.

The water stream controller is really near to

the hand for faster switching and the nozzle

can be used by left and right handed people.

This results in a safer and easier to use

product which leads to a better balance for the

firemen.

In order to enhance our Photoshop and

illustrator skills, we had to create a mood

board about a science fiction movie, in my

case “Solaris”, starting from screenshots and

using Photoshop. The goal of this exercise

was getting acquainted with the basics of

adobe Photoshop, like layer masks, opacity

control, selecting tools, filters....

Media Player Skin

The second part of the assignment involved

the design of a media player skin with the

movie as theme. Apart from learning the

basics of the adobe programs, this assignment

also motivated the students to think on how to

design products and software in a logical and

intuitive way. In particular the placing of the

buttons and the displays in a logical order

One of the first assigments were form exercises.

On this page, two examples are shown where

the forms had to result in a product based on

the “form follows function” principle.

The example on the right shows how a random

organic form can result in product. In this case a

machine that makes x-rays photos of a patient’s

teeth .

The example shown below shows a combination

of an animal with a product. In this case the

mix between an hummingbird and an electric

ear thermometer. The Integration of buttons,

screams grips and edges gives these shapes the

product-like look.

this assignment was to train to model organic

forms, making valid solids, designing details,

and to make realistic renders. The renders are
