What is this for?
By mapping ecosystems, you can uncover key stakeholders, and where value is created. Then, you can create a strategy to improve upon gaps and opportunities within your current business ecosystem.
↳Identify and map the players involved in making a solution a reality, so that hypothesis can be tested with the relevant stakeholders
↳Understand the relationships each player has with each other to trigger disruption and innovation in the relevant market scenario
Step-by-step guide
Tip
Don’t see this as the final and absolute version of your ecosystem. Understand it as a way to raise questions around the unknowns your solution will need to answer to once your investigation begins. Try adding or removing pieces of this puzzle – this is where innovation could happen (cut a middle man, add a new relationship, etc).
↳Identify the most important players in your ecosystem
↳Figure out how they influence each other in the current scenario
↳Place your solution and the customer at the center to understand how value flows through the system until it gets to the end-user
↳Challenge your own model and see if you can shuffle things around without it affecting the end result (providing a solution to the end-user)
↳Get experts to look at your model and ask you questions
