that identifies new growth
opportunities and starts from a
conscious choice as to whether
you will develop/lead an
ecosystem or engage as part of
others’ ecosystems

today’s digital age this is even more
complex

right, there is a chance to
monetize this data for company
and customer alike – and build a
deeper level of trust
