From Hierarchy to Interconnected Ecosystems Reflects Modern Business Dynamics.

The Interconnected Ecosystem Design

In recent years, the business world has undergone a profound transformation. The traditional view of organizations as rigid hierarchies with clear boundaries and linear processes is rapidly becoming obsolete.

copyright SIA Partners, with permission on Partner Ecosystems

I have entered into a collaborative partnership with SIA Partners on Partner Ecosystems.
