Ecosystems are crucial. They can be immense value drivers, but also quickly turn into competitive threats. Their interconnected nature is putting up new challenges for companies.

What then should businesses do about ecosystems? In this session we will work through the basics of ecosystem strategy, how it differs from traditional approaches to strategy, and how companies can best engage in or create their ecosystems. What is your role in those ecosystems, is your business model fit for your ecosystems or does it need adjustment? Who are the partners you should work with?

After watching this session, you will be equipped to shape ecosystem strategies and drive the ecosystem-conversation at your business.
