This PPT slide, part of the 25-slide Dual Innovation Ecosystem Strategy PowerPoint presentation, presents a comparative analysis of 2 types of innovation ecosystems: Centralized and Adaptive. It emphasizes that the choice between these ecosystems should align with the lifecycle stage of the industry in question. Centralized ecosystems are depicted as suitable for established industries characterized by stable conditions. They operate through a "broker" company that connects partners while keeping them distinct. This structure is beneficial when partners are familiar with each other and the existing business model, allowing for coordinated efforts to capture value primarily for the broker.
In contrast, Adaptive ecosystems are more fitting for nascent industries where uncertainty prevails. Here, an "orchestrator" company facilitates direct collaboration among diverse partners, encouraging innovation through the combination of varied resources. This approach is particularly advantageous when industry boundaries are shifting, as it allows for flexibility and rapid adaptation to changing market conditions.
The slide outlines specific attributes for each ecosystem, including their structure, partner dynamics, strategic focus, and the impact on the focal company. For instance, while Centralized ecosystems maintain arm's-length relationships, Adaptive ecosystems foster cooperative ties, enabling partners to explore new opportunities and innovate collectively.
The concluding notes suggest that as industries mature, companies should reassess their ecosystem strategies. Over time, as value-creation processes stabilize, transitioning from an Adaptive to a Centralized system may become advantageous. This insight is crucial for executives considering the long-term implications of their innovation strategies in relation to industry maturity.
