About the master class: innovation
Innovation increasingly happens within decentralised ecosystems that span corporations, individuals and communities, interacting over evolving technological platforms. Therefore, the logic of business is changing: firm-centred innovation is giving way to ecosystem-centred innovation. In ecosystems, creativity and innovation thrive at the interfaces between different organizational functions, specialisms and ways of thinking. The future key challenge for managers is to learn how best capture distributed resources in the dynamic ecosystems. As no organization controls its ecosystems, managing innovation in the future requires new approaches, tools and sensitivity. Alongside limits to organizational control and the demise of traditional management models based on plan-control-and-execute logic, come gigantic opportunities enabled by cooperative ecosystems.
