👋 On time for your weekend: a round-up of this week's remarkable stories at the intersection of #ecosystem #innovation and #platform #organisation.
The Five Essential Roles of Corporate Ecosystems:
Aspiring ecosystem builders frequently forget that one doesn’t need to “own” an entire ecosystem to be successful, much like a frog doesn’t need to own a pond to live a happy life eating mosquitoes.
