IDEMC: Eco-system Innovation

Designing for collaborative value creation and sustainable growth

In the second decennium of the 21st century the innovation game will change significantly: sustainability, participation, digitization, legislation and new competition are no longer abstract trends but have become very concrete opportunities to make a real difference.

Successful organizations will be able to innovate collaboratively, in eco-systems where companies, governments and persons (customers, citizens, users, patients, or employees) co-create new types of value in new types of business models. Increasingly the success of innovation hinges not only on the quality of the product or service as such, but also on the extent to which organizations are able to participate in and contribute to such eco-systems.
