The five essential roles of corporate ecosystems
INSEAD
Most organisations that try to build an ecosystem would be better off joining an existing one. The first step is for them to know where they would fit. The following key questions will help you decide whether to create your own ecosystem or join someone else’s:
- What is the unique value proposition of the ecosystem you want to create?
- Who has already built ecosystems to create a similar value proposition?
- Do you have the resources and capabilities to be the orchestrator of a new ecosystem and overcome the advantages of the existing ecosystems?
- If trusted partners have the complementary resources you need to create your ecosystem, should you invite them as core partners?
- If you only have a narrow technological capability (data storage, processing, etc.), do you want to join someone else’s ecosystem as a technology enabler?
- If you only have a narrow offering, and there is already an established ecosystem out there, should you join it as a complementor?
- If you only have access to a group of customers, should you join someone else’s ecosystem as a reseller?
