Since my launch of the Integrated Interconnected Business Ecosystem framework on 3rd September 2025 I have been busy exploring the many parts of this. Counting this post I have provided FIFTEEN explainers of this IIBE from its evolution, rationale into its many component parts
So why? No, not why so many posts written, let alone in one month, but all the necessary explaining of this blueprint. I think this is needed for all of its connected value and guidence to a area of design that offers a comprehensive approach to managing and building Business Ecosystems. For many, Business Ecosystems are a bit of a mystery so I needed to unravelling this in a “collective burst” of explainers

It is built for integrated and interconnected growth, impact and providing the building blocks to build and deliver unique business propositions for your business.
