Chicken or the Egg? The Dynamic Interplay of Technology and Business Ecosystems

The interplay between technology and business ecosystems

Are we seeing a growing influence of how different technologies are forming and shaping Business Ecosystems? The influence of AI and Machine Learning,Blockchain and Decentralized Technologies, Digital Twins and Simulations, Edge Computing and IoT, Platform technology and use of API’s in Marketplaces all shape our growing needs.

My question is “did technology lead to ecosystems or did ecosystems need technology to realize vision or outcomes?

It is not simple but rather a dynamic and evolving interplay.

it’s a dynamic interplay. Sometimes, a groundbreaking technology emerges that creates new possibilities and enables the formation of entirely new ecosystems that weren’t previously conceivable. Other times, a clear vision for a more interconnected and efficient way of doing things drives the development and adoption of specific technologies to realize that vision.

Principles for Bridging Traditional to Ecosystem Thinking

Feeling trapped, break out of the box with Innovation Business Ecosystems

I have been investing a growing amount of time in building my understanding of Business Ecosystems and from one of my AI chats I really do get some wonderful “nuggets” of thinking.

What will enable us to transform our world?

We need to reshape and transform our future

We are in a world of re-calibrating our business, where to invest and who to partner with. Firstly we have to cut-away much of our existing approaches and thinking of how we organize and operate.

Opening our minds to the alternative of being in a collaborative network, sharing in value and worth.

Having a reliable network to plug into and exchange views in confidence and speedily is vitally important. Many of those advisors we relied upon for economic prediction, (banks, consultancies, think tanks, even prediction models) providing their advice was prevalent on stability. They are at present as much at sea deciphering future direction as the rest of us.

What you can revert too and draw in a better level of confidence and understanding comes from the value and worth of your own trusted network. Who we know, who we work with and trust is so valuable in these volatile times.
