During the last decade, ecosystems become a new standard way of working for businesses. Instead of working alone, companies are working together in loose networks for adding their strengths together. Yet, ecosystems still pose a number of open questions. This presentation takes a look on two rather different cases. The first part covers the ‘ecosystem health’ metaphor, its problems, and possible solutions. The second part takes a look how the ecosystem approach could perhaps be utilized in the data economy as a way to create new revenue out of existing data.
