Play to win with an agile, high-performing ecosystem

Are you looking for an advanced digital transformation program to move you to the next level? Building a digital ecosystem of partners offers you a powerful lever to accelerate growth. Nearly 90% of top global companies aim to leverage a system of partners, but the complexity can be overwhelming, and the failure rate is high to sustain these partnerships. So how do you avoid overwhelm and succeed in your own context?

Building Digital Ecosystems, is a joint program with CKGSB, China’s first privately funded and research-driven business school. This unique program brings you deep insights into high-performing digital ecosystems from the perspectives of East and West. You discover how sharing resources and expertise 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 from IMD and CKGSB, 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 structure will unlock digital growth opportunities for you. You leave the program with an action plan, plus the skills and confidence to implement your own digital ecosystem.
