Competition is moving beyond industry to ecosystem. Are you ready?
In the shift from pipeline to platform, value is no longer created by your company's product or process alone--it's created through interactions. And the strategy you used to become an industry leader won't help you compete in an evolving and complex ecosystem.

We've combed through hundreds of articles in the Harvard Business Review archive and selected the most important ones to help you address classic challenges such as navigating the shift from controlling resources to orchestrating them, redefining value, thwarting competitive threats, and adapting your strategy.
