The new environment provided by adopting ecosystem design thinking offers us infinite possibilities. It opens us all up to new knowledge, collaboration and sources of new value and innovative impact.
Taking an ecosystem approach. highly collaborative and networked opens up the potential for a more sustainable future
We have new frontiers and unexploited opportunities everywhere when we push through today’s constraints and tackle growing complex challenges.
We have more connected hardware to open up our physical and digital realms, applying technology and human ingenuity and we have access all the time to more real-world data than ever before—giving us the birth of the digital and physical ecosystems that enable innovation like never before.
We have some awesome technology power available to us; can’t we unlock the potential to change where we seem to be heading?
We have entered the new innovation era as we combine in ways not possible until recently. If we take any industry, any societal problem, as we tackle climate challenges, it is the power of connected innovation to make a difference and give us our breakthroughs. We have the tools to tackle big (and stubbornly small) challenges in collective environments and we have the incentives to build our relationships and networks that want to combine and collaborate to solve problems and advance solutions.
Our growing focus is on finding the sustainability path
Having clear ecosystem thinking enables a path to a more connected, sustaining and valued future. If the decision is made to become more focused on “being sustainable”, drastic shifts in direction will undoubtedly occur but it requires a significant shift in thinking, adoption and organizational designs.
The shift from that fear of being disrupted due to the digital transformation is being replaced by the need to build a sustainable company built on increasing insight and connected understanding, seeking and exploring, experimenting and confirming a new value equation. A huge mental mindset needs to make leaps of faith and adjustments to this new order of focus.
That set of decisions will require a dedicated, focused, systematic need to assess the portfolio and the operating conditions. This goes way beyond the present “where to play and how to win”; this becomes as much for the long game as managing the short term. It needs ecosystem thinking and designing.
Understanding Ecosystems and how they work is becoming essential for us.
Recognizing ecosystems are vital, combining human, technology and data allows us to pursue multiple possibilities, explore them faster than before, evaluate them in quicker, smarter ways and scale those that show promise for all of us to be more efficient, considerate and respectful of finite resources. Ecosystem designs allow us to undergo a change from individualism to revaluing community and supporting each other in resourceful ways and respecting all that is around us needs to be more balanced.
We can search and build entirely new capabilities by connecting technology and different people.
The power of ecosystems can allow us to innovate differently, more designed for a sustainable future, highly collaborative and networked.
We need a new way to work in highly collaborative ecosystems, so different from our past.
