Play to win with an agile, high-performing ecosystem

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.

What our participants say

Lu Zheng

Head of Value-Based Partnerships and Digital Health, Europe & Canada, Takeda, Switzerland

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.

Eric Gao

Founder and CEO, BMYG Financial Group, Australia

I highly recommend this program to everyone who’s building digital strategies for their business. IMD brings in top industry practitioners to give you deep insights into high-performing digital ecosystem players and newcomers from US and China. In the era of digital transformation for all business globally, it is either building your digital ecosystem or being a part of one. The program is very well designed and delivered.

Nilesh Ghaisas

Digital Strategy and Transformation Leader, Salesforce, Switzerland

Amazing week of learning, gaining valuable new frameworks to structure how we think about customer value creation, starting with an organization’s core capabilities and leveraging partnerships in a meaningful way. Thank you to the professors for your insights and tying the frameworks to real-world examples. Cannot wait to use these learnings for our team and strategic customers.

Juan Manuel Santiago Mendez

CEO, Mercedes-Benz Parts Logistics UK; Head of Logistics, Cluster UK & SA

This program enables you to understand the concepts of successful ecosystems. You gain a lot of insights by understanding how advanced China is at digital transformations and building digital ecosystems, so that you can establish your own ecosystem.

Marek Stawinski

Founder & CEO, NaviParking, United Arab Emirates

Building Digital Ecosystems is of unique value to those responsible for designing and executing ecosystems strategies, enabling growth of the core business and introducing new products and services.
