Why building an ecosystem is important
Even large companies are not protected from missing the boat when new ecosystems emerge on the market that bundle their strengths. This makes it all the more important for companies to build their own ecosystem or take their place in emerging ecosystems. The great advantage lies in opening up new markets together with partners and using resources more efficiently in the process. This requires a certain level of expertise and the necessary awareness at management level. This is exactly where you come in, because this training prepares you to identify or build the right system or ecosystems for your company.
Growing sustainably and being prepared for change
A business ecosystem helps companies to grow. Establishing the appropriate structures and processes plays an important role in this. Business ecosystems focus primarily on the sustainable pooling of resources and expertise. This can work within a company by different departments focusing on joint value creation. However, ecosystems in the economic sense can also exist between different companies. Corresponding systems can also be established within the supply chain. This requires leaders who know how to integrate companies into these new systems or build the corresponding infrastructure. Once the path into the business ecosystem has been successfully taken, companies can react more easily to changes thanks to the network and networked departments, as important parameters within the system can then be quickly adjusted. With their place in a business ecosystem, companies thus maintain their competitiveness and future viability.
Staying competitive and building on strengths
The development of a business ecosystem offers companies the opportunity to maintain their competitiveness and gradually expand their market position.
