This site started out as a joint collaboration initially with Jeffrey Phillips but it was fully taken over by myself in June 2017, Paul Hobcraft, after twelve months of collaborative writing. It is mine to take out, further shape, and determine what contributes to the emerging platform and ecosystem approach to business today. This is never easy but a worthwhile challenge as platforms and ecosystems are the emerging “form” of how we organize around to build our future businesses.

All businesses need to explore innovation ecosystems and the platforms that drive them, they build relationships and networks that change the business proposition and how platforms and ecosystems are driving growth opportunities and then placing them in context.

This site explores ecosystems, the delivery mechanisms of platforms, along with other collaborative methods and pushes towards the new need of today, to deliver a seamless total solution that provides customers what they are constantly asking for, to solve their connected needs.

We are entering the world of innovation ecosystems where broader, more complex innovation challenges, through greater collaborations can be achieved. So this site is dedicated to building the arguments here

I decided to ‘house’ this in a dedicated blog posting site as it can forge a new direction and momentum for innovation to travel. for me, Paul Hobcraft, my work on ecosystems and platforms was becoming an increasingly important part of my business focus.

What is certain is that innovation needs to enter a new era of prosperity.

Incremental innovation can only take you a very limited way, it needs a bolder resolution as we must move from the era of discreet products, There is a need to deliver some changes in the way we operate, collaborate and create. Perhaps this is even more radical than we initially would like but this needs a different set of thinking and growing understanding and here, we aim to provide part of this.

We are finding ourselves in a race to the bottom when it comes to maintaining a competitive edge. As soon as the product is available within ever-decreasing time, it is being copied and any advantage has vanished. Can we continue to chase our tail?

So we do require a different way of thinking. This is more centred around innovation ecosystems.

So on this site, it will be dedicated to telling the innovation stories that provide an understanding of the value and growth opportunities that can come from exploring innovation ecosystems and building the necessary design thinking Ecosystems require.

These will include what makes up innovation ecosystems and the changes this can offer. I will explore ecosystems, the delivery mechanisms of platforms along with other collaborative methods and push towards the new need of today, to deliver a seamless total solution that provides customers what they are constantly asking for, to solve their needs and give them greater engagement and experiences. This thinking is driven by a need for new products and services and experiences, otherwise, we believe customers will continue to turn away from discrete, disconnected products and services increase over time

Shaping and introducing new innovation ecosystems is not easy but it has enormous potential to transform competition and deliver on this ‘seamless experience’ that will be valued and recognized for its unique set of offerings. It can become the unique competitive positioning due to this connected ecosystem of collaborators, it offers an advantage to all engaged in its potential as it has diversity, dynamics, differentiation and distinctiveness in its  design and delivery
