From the November 13th 2017 Symposium “Innovation Ecosystems for AI-Based Education, Training and Learning” Martha Russell, Executive Director of mediaX at Stanford University kicks off the symposium and looks at these critical points…
1. Innovation ecosystems are sustainable business networks built on collaboration, meant for producing innovation in a non-linear way, through the collective action of legally independent actors that increasingly relies on horizontal, peer-to-peer linkages among different agents.
2. They are differentiated from other types of business networks by patterns of interactions, receptivity to feedback and innovation capacity in responding to changing conditions.
3. Seen through the lens of complexity thinking, innovation ecosystems are open non-linear systems characterized by multi-faceted motivations and undergoing persistent transformations through recombinatorial patterns of interactions, implying a holistic integrity of partners’ mutual activities and governance.
4. The vitality and resilience of innovation ecosystems can be fostered by increasing the number of network nodes, promoting the quantity and quality of feedback linkages, encouraging autonomous relational contracts, removing inner and outer communication gaps, cultivating shared vision of interdependencies and collective resources, and maintaining a balance of exploration and exploitation.
