Executive Summary

Across industries and regions, firms are abandoning vertically integrated innovation approaches in favor of Innovation Networks — global partner ecosystems that co-develop and co-market new products, services, and business models — and reaping big benefits. Senior executives must help their CEOs address the internal and external challenges that early adopters of Innovation Networks face, including adapting the organization, managing partnerships, and engaging customers.
