Building a digital ecosystem of partners offers you a powerful lever to accelerate growth. Nearly 90% of top global companies aim to leverage a digital ecosystem of partners, but the complexity can be overwhelming, and the failure rate is high to sustain these partnerships.
So how do you succeed in your own market and beyond?
Building Digital Ecosystems brings you deep insights into high-performing digital ecosystems from the perspectives of both China and the USA. With cutting-edge research and the latest cases, academic experts from CKGSB and IMD are teaming up with leading industry practitioners to provide you with thought-provoking lectures, discussions, and access to diverse global ecosystems, from digital giants to newcomers and transforming incumbents. You will participate in virtual executive exchange to see first-hand the latest innovations and connect with thinkers, scaling entrepreneurs and practitioners who are leading digital transformation. You will grasp what works and what to avoid.
We will guide you through your own ecosystem project to identify what needs to be done to unlock digital growth opportunities for you. And you will discover how sharing resources and expertise will bring you much closer to your customers, with new data and insights to be more innovative, agile and competitive.
You will leave the program with an action plan, plus the skills and confidence to implement your own digital ecosystem.
