Engaging in Next Generation Ecosystems| As broadband connectivity rapidly converges in ways that are transforming how people live, work and play, companies able to quickly meet the massive and still largely untapped demand for digital services will shape tomorrow’s market. To rapidly develop the innovative services users want and to create profitable new business models, companies are increasingly partnering – even across industry sectors - to create ‘next generation ecosystems’. The benefits span from accelerating innovation and time to market of new concepts to driving top line revenue. During this FITCE event, we will illustrate some examples and best practices of these new ways of collaboration, highlighting the rationale, learnings and benefits of the models. |  |
