(Institutionalisation / Operating model)
Purpose:
Build the enduring capability to design, orchestrate, and evolve ecosystems.
Recognise the value of the IIBE blueprint- the anchoring framework for Business Ecosystems
Problem: loss of agency, dependency, unsustained progress
“Early ecosystem efforts may show promise, yet progress remains fragile and dependent on individuals, external support, or one-off initiatives. Without embedded capability, momentum fades and organisations revert to familiar silos. The deeper risk is a loss of agency — being part of ecosystems without the ability to design, orchestrate, or evolve them deliberately.”
What lives here:
- IIBE Blueprint development
- Architecture & layer design
- Portfolio & pipeline build
- Leadership capability building
- Role development, coaching, mentoring
- Skills re-orientation
- Exploring loss of Agency
Why this works for you and its value:
- This is not entry-level — and that’s okay
- Signals seriousness and long-term intent
- Positions you away from episodic consulting and toward ecosystem stewardship
Problem-first becomes sustainability risk
At this stage, the problem-first anchor is subtle but becomes the most critical:
- “Without internal capability, ecosystem success decays”
- “External dependency recreates loss of agency”
- “The IIBE Blueprints can prevent reversion to siloed behaviour”
- “Recognising Ecosystems are connected for their dependancies”
This is where your loss of agency theme belongs.
So the narrative is:
“The real risk is not building ecosystems — it’s being unable to sustain or evolve them.”
