A lesson in not adapting (Episode 267)

I continue to share my observations from traveling to make observations on how companies find it hard to change.

This time a USB observation.

In 2014 the specifications for USB-C were released.

In 2022 the EU passed legislation requiring USB-C as the standard charging port.

(Finnair’s OLDEST A350 was delivered in late 2015.)

Yet in late 2025, the planes of Finnair only (!) have old USB charger

Quotes by Fredrik Härén (?)

“Jag har träffat många industridesigners i olika utvecklingsländer. En av dem träffade jag i Delhi. Hon har studerat både i Indien och i Europa och sa: "Jag vet att fransmän har vin i sina kylskåp, men en fransman vet inte vad vi har i våra kylskåp. Det gör att jag kan designa ett kylskåp för en fransman men han kan inte designa ett kylskåp för mig,”
― Fredrik Haren, The Developing World: How an Explosion of Creativity in the Developing World Is Changing the World, and Why the Developed World Has to Start Paying Attention.

“Jag satt en gång i en paneldebatt i Beijing tillsammans med representanter för Sony Ericsson, Nokia och Motorola. Moderatorn frågade hur vi i panelen såg på "Kina och kopiering" och alla representanterna från de stora mobiltillverkarna kom med varianter på samma tema: Kina kan aldrig bli innovativt om de inte slutar att kopiera. Till slut blev det min tur. Jag tittade på de tre representanterna för världens största mobiltillverkare och sa: "Så vem av er uppfann mobiltelefonen? För de andra två måste ju ha kopierat." Min poäng var att alla företag kopierar mer eller mindre. Uppfattningen om att människor i öst bara kan kopiera och att människor i väst uppfinner egna idéer och inte kopierar är felaktig.”
