Episode Description

The buzz: “Ecosystems are dynamic and co-evolving communities of diverse actors who create and capture new value through increasingly sophisticated models of both collaboration and competition…to achieve something together that lies beyond the effective scope and capabilities of any individual actor.” (Business ecosystems come of age – Deloitte) Amid the challenges of 2020, the high-tech industry proved it can sustain and even grow in the most demanding of times. From such adversity came innovation. As offices closed, businesses had to adopt agile new processes, remote working and re-engineered customer experiences. As we look to 2021, digital adoption will continue to accelerate. We ask SAP’s Tina Bronsch, Charles Bennett and Paul Logue about the key driving forces behind this phenomenon, from rapid adoption of a cloud computing platform to agile business innovation, and the partner ecosystems that will enable it all to happen.
