Cutting through the issues with Partner Ecosystems

Cutting through the issues to build a Partner Ecosystem

Sometimes we do limit our thinking in business. One organization wants to “own it” and through this limited view deny themselves a diverse set of growth options by opening up to collaborations and co-creation.

Partner ecosystems are far, far more than supply chain or purchasing agreements. They can be a real catalyst for new growth opportunities, resolution to complex challenges and provide new options to build a business differently for impact and sustaining value.

I believe many organizations need to look beyond the “known” and explore the “unknown. It is not as uncomfortable as you might initially think, yet it needs some serious thinking through and approaching and the business case shown below might prompt your thinking to reach out.

The importance of Business Ecosystems? Are you future-aware?

Building out the arguments to make a compelling business change case for Business Ecosystems needs to cover significant areas to address and recognise. Any view needs to offer some compelling reasons to recognize that there is a powerful need to shift to a more modern, network-centric view for business operations and strategy. Compiling this set of opinions takes time to shape into a concise document.

This shift is not just semantic; it represents a fundamental change in how we understand and operate within the modern business landscape.

My move with the repositioning from “Hierarchy of Business Ecosystems” to “Interconnected Business Ecosystem Framework” reflects this paradigm shift.

I have entered into a collaborative partnership with SIA Partners on Partner Ecosystems. Combining expertise, connections, methodologies, capabilities, and client work in advising, mentoring, and consulting is exciting; in offering some genuinely unique IP methodology in concept designs, research, and industry and institution connections, a compelling service offering is emerging.
