Building Digital Ecosystems
Are you ready to catapult your organization into the future? Most companies struggle to reinvent their core business while quickly opening up new revenue streams. There is, however, a category of companies that move more quickly. These companies create advantages by leveraging partnerships, investments, and alliances to continuously adapt their offering to a changing customer base. We call this an “ecosystem advantage.”
Industries that can greatly benefit from an ecosystem initiative include automotive, banking, communications, healthcare, insurance and more.
Currently 90% of leading global enterprises want to harness the power of ecosystems, but many fail to maintain momentum. How can you transcend these complex challenges and succeed in your unique business environment. IMD’s Building Digital Ecosystems brings you deep insights into high-performing digital ecosystems from the perspectives of East and West. You will learn how sharing resources and expertise across your organization and with your ecosystem will bring you much closer to your customers, with new data and insights to be more innovative, agile, and competitive.
With cutting-edge research, latest cases, and industry and academic experts, you will gain exclusive access into the full breadth of ecosystems, from digital giants, to newcomers and transforming incumbents. You participate in executive exchanges to see first-hand the latest innovations and connect with scaling entrepreneurs. You learn what works and what you need to avoid.
We guide you through your own ecosystem project to identify which approach will unlock growth opportunities for you. You leave the program with an action plan, plus the skills and confidence to implement your own digital ecosystem.
“You learn how to build an ecosystem strategy with confidence” says Professor Mark Greeven.
Discover how this program can help you to get closer to your customer and to accelerate the growth of your business.

Very intensive learning with real cases and practical examples. My key takeaways are that an ecosystem is the new winning formula to create value for customers, for business and for partners. It’s win-win-win! Legacy firms need to think of a digital ecosystem as new business model instead of a pure digital/ technology play. And basic business fundamentals still apply in the digital world, so be very clear on what’s the core offering, what’s the ‘job to be done’ for customers.
