"Let’s tackle this issue together, as an ecosystem."
This phrase has echoed through countless meetings, often uttered without a deep understanding of its implications for value creation, challenges, and the necessity for personal and organizational reassessment.
In collaboration with Gregory (Greg) Bernarda and the insights from his extensive research, we've embarked on a journey to demystify the concept of ecosystems for several teams. Guiding them through their ecosystem visions, we provided essential tools and reference points to navigate this complex terrain.
From personal experience, creating a meaningful ecosystem is no small feat. It requires dedication, a willingness to reassess and adapt, and most importantly, hard work. But the rewards—unlocking new meanings and values—are immeasurable.
Thanks to our collective efforts (Augustin Solioz, Catherine Foliot, Pauline Jager, Philippe Vlaeminck and Frédéric Debailleul), for these teams, the ecosystem approach is now closer to becoming their reality.
As Winston Churchill stated, 'Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.'
This journey of building and nurturing ecosystems embodies the essence of Churchill’s words. It's about the courage to persist, innovate, and envision new paradigms of value creation.
What are your thoughts on the power of ecosystems in transforming how we create value? Have you embarked on this journey within your organization?
Ecosystem is capturing the zeitgeist. Beyond the buzzword, there's a real, fundamental movement underway: more of us are waking up to the idea that there's a terrain of value creation beyond that of the organization. And that if we bring coherence to it, we can unlock new meaning and new value for all participants involved.
I witnessed this again in Paris earlier this month. Together with our friends Codesign-it, we hosted a two-day workshop where teams from the public and private sectors explored how to rise to this new logic of value creation in their respective contexts. Once you see it, it’s hard to go back down to business as usual.
