Ecosystems
Systemic change that shakes us, calls for the power of ecosystems.
Collaboration is not only rational, but also emotional. Purpose helps engage and align organisations and people behind common goals and supports it with clearly defined objectives related to profit, people, and planet.
Successful and sustainable execution relies on ecosystem journey and leadership model. It aligns partners and keeps them energised.
Ecosystems innovate, co-create, and collaborate – and by doing that they create value. Value capture – measured in € requires an operational model backed up with clear understanding of how data is used along the way.
Understanding the difference between networks, ecosystems, and platforms helps any organisation to get started with their ecosystem game.
Sustainable success is based on strong ecosystems.
Ecosystems are about collaboration between people and organisations.
Ecosystems are increasingly important drivers of growth, profitability, and resilience in today’s rapidly changing business environment. That’s why answering the “why, what, and how to ecosystem” as part of the strategy process is essential for sustainable success.
