Ecosystem Strategy Playbook & Toolset

“Ecosystems” is the new buzzword in management. But what does it actually mean to have an Ecosystem Strategy?

We put our experience of the last 2 years working closely with corporates to create solid Ecosystem Strategies on 3 layers.

1. Corporate Portfolio Layer -> to make corporate strategy decisions

2. Market Ecosystems -> to explore and evaluate growth opportunities on selected markets

3. Platform Ecosystems -> to accelerate & stimulate network effects with the right partners

This playbook and toolset is made for CEOs, CDOs, Head of Strategy, Head of Venturing and Growth Leaders of Platforms.
