Markets are being disrupted by digital

disrupt traditional markets.
In the next ten years, large companies will use digital to
disrupt markets themselves.

Large companies and entrepreneurs
must learn to collaborate effectively
The good news is that large and small companies show
every intention of collaborating with multiple parties
How important will

And both camps see the benefits of working
with each other:

business
• 46% feel the need to work with entrepreneurs to
be sufficiently innovative

The nature of collaboration must change
“How can I create an ecosystem of
partners collaborating on equal
terms?”
“How can I get others to help me
do what I already want to do?”
From bilateral collaboration done on the terms of large companies, to
more open ended collaboration with multiple parties

Ecosystem Innovation: The power of platforms
Ecosystem innovation
represents a shift to an external
mindset in which risks and
rewards are shared mutually. It
demands greater levels of digital
collaboration in a wider
ecosystem.
“There will be more than 100 new digital
industry platforms from non-tech
companies by 2016” (IDC)
“In 2013, 14 of the top 30 global brands
by market capitalization were platform-
oriented companies” (MIT)
