Understanding and mastering ecosystems is becoming a key part of strategy in the 2020\u2019s.\u00a0That is why we have created the brand-new Ecosystem Series, the next chapter of strategy tools.<\/em><\/p>\n

This week we released four new strategy tools, all under the\u00a0<\/span>Ecosystem Series<\/strong>. Our goal; to help companies, executives and ecosystem developers understand, build and eventually master ecosystems. Already, the tools have been picked up by our global community and being used from Australia to Brazil.<\/p>\n

For the past six years, we have done extensive work on ecosystem development in hot spots around the world. From working with accelerators in Bergen to Governments in Asia and Innovation Parks in Switzerland, we have seen many, many sides of ecosystem development. In Norway, we have worked on the private side, to fund, build and scale national impact programs, while also advising government and national innovation agencies on how to build better ecosystems.<\/p>\n

But we have not been alone. Far from it. During that time, a growing body of knowledge has emerged around ecosystem development. Crucial, has been the many conversations and discussions with our dear friends at the Norwegian Innovation Cluster Program, Martin an Kristianne, our overseas friends at\u00a0<\/span>Mach49<\/a><\/span>, to the coffee table book\u00a0<\/span>Startup Genome<\/a><\/span>, the highly recommended analysis on\u00a0<\/span>Global Tech Hubs<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>by CB Insights, excellent HBR articles by Michael Jacoby on\u00a0<\/span>In the Ecosystem Economy, What\u2019s Your Strategy<\/a><\/span>, extensive writings on platform-based business models (which often include ecosystems as an integrated part of the best platforms), and now, the world\u2019s leading management conference, the\u00a0<\/span>Global Peter Drucker Forum<\/a><\/span>, hosting its 11th year, with the theme The Power Of Ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Ecosystems, it seems, are all around.\u00a0<\/h3>\n

So, it is in this spirit, we now push forward with the Strategy Tools Ecosystem Series. The\u00a0<\/span>first four tools are available<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>now, with several more in the pipeline for 2020 and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u00a0For now, we hope you may find these tools useful in building a better ecosystem. We invite our global community to both provide feedback, early experiences, share case studies and collaborate to further develop better strategy tools for the growth and development of ecosystems.<\/p>\n

How well do you know your \u00abecosystem movers and shakers\u00bb? We believe ecosystems are made up of connections, relationships and interactions. Breath and reach of personal networks matter. Yet, some ecosystems have very wide and tight relationships. Others have closed and loose, producing less effective ecosystems. The Ecosystem Shakers Map allows you to map out the key \u00abmovers and shakers\u00bb and top three ecosystem initiatives \u2013 all in the spirit of building better innovation ecosystem<\/p>\n
