This month I am completing a series on cross-sector innovation ecosystem collaborations. For me, cross-sector collaborations are becoming essential to our future in tackling highly complex challenging issues that need collaborative resolution.
It’s well known that design thinking is a creative problem-solving process, which focuses on reaching solutions that were previously inaccessible. In reality, design thinking is a process that overlaps with traditional innovation in many different ways, making it extremely useful for innovative ideation.
It is the value of having good, interactive, highly particpative workshops breaks much of those initial barriers to allow the hard work to begin in a more cohesive and collaborative way. I believe any design of workshops must meet your needs, to push the thinking and to generate new returns in innovation understanding. For example: 1.
This is the fourth and final post discussing cross-sector innovation ecosystem collaborations. Within the series of four posts, I have been emphasising that cross-sector collaborations are becoming essential to our future in tackling highly complex challenging issues that need collaborative resolution, the necessary parts need connecting.
Speaker: Christophe Louvion, Chief Product & Technology Officer of NRC Health and Tony Karrer, CTO at Aggregage

Finding the new building blocks of innovation ecosystem design and thinking. Why change our thinking and designing around innovation ecosystems?“. For me, ecosystem thinking and design offer fresh ways for accelerating mutual learning, and through this innovation, outcome potential for sharing and knowledge building.
In a series exploring cross-sector innovation ecosystem collaborations, this is the third post discussing different aspects and the approach to this that needs to be taken as my suggested starting point. Defining roles and responsibilities : The next stage is to define the roles and responsibilities of each partner in the collaboration.
The innovative design has become paramount to these new offerings. Ecosystem design will create new business opportunities. The increasing need for collaborating and extracting external expertise contains increasing cost and investment. There is growing value in engaging in business ecosystems.
Adopting ecosystem thinking and design , combined with Generative AI, has the impact of augmenting, automating, and rapidly scaling innovation in significantly different ways than ever before. Human-AI Collaboration: Leverage AI to augment human creativity rather than replace it. Encourage collaboration between AI and human experts.
Why do only a third of the organizations worldwide have formal innovation metrics in place despite accepting that innovation is critical to survival? Download this eBook to learn about the 5 basic principles that guide every successful innovation process.
The three degrees of ecosystem design- the innovating equation. In any ecosystem thinking and design, we do need to find this “sweet spot” for encouraging more innovation. We are increasingly engaged in far greater interactivity with easy access to social and organizational tools than ever before.
Collaboration and Co-creation across diverse organizations sharing a common purpose are needed far more today to break through and provide new innovating solutions. We are looking to increase the share of minds, engagement, and increasing preferences reflecting these changing habits, tastes, and lifestyles.
To be honest I am not sure if it conveys as much as I would like, to reflect on differences when you come to working in innovation ecosystem designs. To get groups to think more openly about considering innovation in a more ecosystem approach to design and interaction I like to often refer to my mind maps to trigger discussions.
Ecosystems have suddenly become of age, as they can be formed around common concepts fairly rapidly, they can enable cross-cutting innovation to be delivered in highly collaborative ways. Connecting and collaborating opportunities for business seem to be really powerful networks of value-adding effect, for finding new economic opportunity.
To get to a good understanding of cross-sector innovation ecosystems collaborations, you need to take a very considered holistic view of what is needed in any collaboration, let alone cutting across sectors to generate a successful outcome. My second post identified specific skills and toolkits to be considered.
Innovation thinking in Ecosystem and Gen AI design I believe there is a real need to construct a different innovation process. Innovation is undergoing a radical change, in opening up to technology, collaborative thinking and the value of generative AI thinking. The building out of the Composable Innovation Enterprise Framework.
Exploring the interplay between Humans, Technology and AI for design thinking Why is design thinking regarded as so crucial to the future of innovation in a world of accelerating interplays between humans, technology and generative AI? This involves moving computing power, data storage, and decision-making to the edge of operations.
That collaborative mindset enables innovation to progress and eventually emerge from all the dialogues, exchanges, and contributions. Then thirdly, we go into the process design stage shown. You have the choices of any work going to be internally developed and alternatively having a consortium or network of collaborators.
The Interconnected Business Ecosystem framework is pioneering in its approach, which aims to help organizations navigate the complexities of today’s business landscape through this interconnected, collaborative ecosystem approach. They constantly search for adapting, evolving and collaborating to thrive and grow.
Innovation is a complex process that requires effective connections and collaborations among individuals and teams. My fun has been piecing these together to lead me to my suggested Vertical and Horizontal Framework for achieving a different innovation management design. I will go into the final proposed components in my next post.
An ecosystem design in thought and design so organizations can act differently on strategies, business models, leadership, and customer engagement to build new value and worth. Innovation ecosystems increasingly need to be designed to offer more sustainable and socially responsible solutions.
The ability to tackle those larger societal problems within an ecosystem, or combine unique resources to overcome a complex challenge you are incapable of solving alone, do have greater potential in a collaborative adaptive system. Ecosystems are unique in design, relationships and the environment that surrounds them.
Collaborations form the essence of discovery, relationships, innovation and new knowledge exchange. Sharing in collaborative arrangements enables the potential for improved operational productivity, and shared application development, tapping into a wider ongoing customer engagement and skill enhancements for all involved to gain from.
Implementing and Building Ecosystem Designs While ecosystem-based approaches offer numerous advantages, there are also challenges and potential barriers that organizations may face. Ensuring alignment and effective collaboration among participants with different goals and priorities can be challenging.
New Business Design- Empower Your Business Ecosystem. When looking at radically different thinking and design in business, where Ecosystems become central, you need to ask yourself what industries would benefit from such an alternative design and thinking due to the changing complexities and challenges they are facing.
Design thinking always requires the Human Touch. Design Thinking is seen as the essential element that will combine with technology and AI in the future, yet the need for the human touch will still be essential. Critical thinking and empathy are essential within the design process that AI cannot fully capture.
Exploring Complexities of Business Ecosystem Collaborations Why should “we” step into the realm of ecosystem collaborations? Collaborations are challenging but exciting and potentially rewarding, but they radically differ in how you conduct business. I offer here many distinct aspects and strategic advantages.
where technology, digital solutions, greater customer insights, where a new breed of designers, engineers, scientists, and software talent are combining built through a platform and new innovation ecosystems thinking, are all emerging. Seeking out a highly collaborative approach. We can open up so many new possibilities. deployments.
Collaboration, Idealization and the enabling of innovation I have have been looking back at innovation and how it has changed over the last twenty-five years. This is the second post looking more at collaboration and idealization and how and what has helped it evolve in this period.
Why engage in changing to Innovation Ecosystems Following on from my last two posts related to recognizing the importance of Innovation Ecosystems we need to ask what makes these dynamic, interconnected and engaging, from a diverse groups perspective? It is a listening of 13 minutes but I like how it discusses this.
Design Thinking Applied to M&A Integration. The failure rate increases due to insufficient integration design and planning or faulty integration planning. Most of the failures point to a lack of design and alignment with people’s needs. This is where Design Thinking can be of tremendous value. It is people centric.
Having people at the centre of designs enables more intelligent, rapid and lasting innovation. Tony touched on how digital technology is being used to solve today’s present issues and how working with the comprehensive digital twin and having people at the heart of the design make a significant contribution to some current challenges.
Introduction to Design Thinking Design thinking is a problem-solving approach that combines empathy, creativity, and rationality to meet user needs and drive successful business outcomes. Defining Design Thinking Design thinking involves five key stages: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test.
I have just finished the first of a planned series with one of my favourite long-term collaborators Jeffrey Phillips. I have used it many times in different workshop environments; here is a post of mine on this to bring opinions together and give a collective focus to build out a more collaborative future.

I have just finished the second of a planned series with one of my favourite long-term collaborators Jeffrey Phillips. Any construct of a Strategically designed innovation plan needs to work through different concepts and tools. Taking action in designing your innovation alignment.
Our innovation processes stay islands of knowledge stubbornly not flowing across organizations, informing others and giving the right levels of insights, support, or collaboration needed. For me, ecosystem thinking and design are accelerating mutual learning, and through this innovation, outcome potential for sharing and knowledge building.
“Fusing” human engagement with technology enablement involves creating a harmonious integration of human collaboration and technological tools to enable an ecosystem’s successful development and operation. Human-Centered Design: Begin with a human-centered approach. Is that possible?
Importance of Team Collaboration In the dynamic landscape of modern business, the significance of team collaboration cannot be overstated. Collaborative efforts are the cornerstone of high-performing teams and are critical for driving innovation and achieving outstanding business outcomes.
We are seeing many digitally aware organizations like Apple, Amazon, Salesforce all recognizing their future innovation is reliant on innovation and digital to be tied at the hip, wedded together in a design that builds towards satisfying customer needs. Embedded software is becoming more important in value than the physical product.
Understanding Team CollaborationCollaboration within a team setting is a cornerstone of modern organizational success, driving innovation, problem-solving, and efficiency in today’s complex workplace. Higher Employee Engagement Teams that work collaboratively often report higher levels of engagement and job satisfaction.
Completing transitions through innovation, ecosystems and sustainability thinking Today, our innovation activity needs to transition through collaborating and co-creating, applying ecosystem thinking and platform designs for business. Capabilities grow through use and application in increasingly intensified ways.
Networking : Engage with a diverse group of people in your industry or interests. Collaboration often leads to the generation of novel ideas. Art and Creativity : Engaging in artistic activities like painting, music, or writing can stimulate your creativity and lead to fresh ideas. Use an external facilitator if possible.
Well we do need to move beyond both of these and start thinking and designing with Innovation Ecosystems. I would argue we need to adapt to thinking and designing in Innovation Ecosystems. We do need to recognize we are in an evolution stage moving from open innovation into this innovation ecosystem thinking and design.
The building blocks of open innovation building towards Business Ecosystem design. By incorporating Open Innovation Strategies as the next building block, businesses can create a dynamic and expansive innovation ecosystem beyond internal and partnership and certain collaborative boundaries.
