Gayan Benedict reads MIT CISR's Match 2023 research briefing, which he co-authored with Ina Sebastian and Stephanie Woerner. See the text version and related content at https://cisr.mit.edu/publication/2023_0301_AdoptingBlockchain_BenedictSebastianWoerner.

Abstract: Compelling use cases for technologies enabling Web3 are accumulating. In a 2022 MIT CISR survey, companies’ effectiveness at deploying new technologies such as blockchain was significantly correlated with growth and profitability. Yet only thirteen percent of executives described their companies as very effective at doing so. Thirty-six percent described them as only slightly or not at all effective at it. Digital leaders are faced with the question of how to build the capabilities needed to participate in value creation from Web3 while managing the risks of participation. In this briefing, we describe four approaches to adopting blockchain and illustrate them with industry examples.

118. João Freitas from Cofidis: innovating inside corporate walls.

Barb Wixom reads MIT CISR's August 2023 research briefing, which she co-authored with Cynthia Beath and Leslie Owens. See the text version and related content at https://cisr.mit.edu/publication/2023_0801_DataMonetization_WixomBeathOwens.

Abstract: Our forthcoming book, Data is Everybody’s Business: The Fundamentals of Data Monetization, is mainly about how to create value from data, but for data monetization to occur, any value you create must be realized. Realizing value from data is about converting value created—efficiency or customer value—into money or getting money directly from data by selling it. In this briefing we define the concept of data monetization as it is used throughout the book and describe how to generate financial returns from improving work, wrapping products with data-fueled features and experiences, and selling information solutions.

What Is Data Monetization?

Stephanie Woerner reads MIT CISR's October 2020 research briefing, which was authored by Barb Wixom, Ina Sebastian, and Robert Gregory. See the text version and related content at https://cisr.mit.edu/publication/2020_1001_DataSharing_WixomSebastianGregory.

Abstract: MIT CISR research has found that interorganizational data sharing is a top concern of companies; leaders often find data sharing costly, slow, and risky. Interorganizational data sharing, however, is requisite for new value creation in the digital economy. Digital opportunities require data sharing 2.0: cross-company sharing of complementary data assets and capabilities, which fills data gaps and allows companies, often collaboratively, to develop innovative solutions. This briefing introduces three sets of practices—curated content, designated channels, and repeatable controls—that help companies accelerate data sharing 2.0.

2024 M&A Outlook from SRSAxquiom

A popular practitioner of the systemic approach to business, Jennifer van der Meer, founder of Reason Street, joins us on this episode to explore the intersection of business models, capital structures, and ecosystemic value creation.
Highlighting how “in business, the challenge is to move beyond the constraints of financial logic and design for broader, systemic impacts that prioritize the health of ecosystems, communities, and bioregions,” Jen challenges to think beyond the existing frames.
While tracing the evolution of business models through distinct eras, she reiterates her belief that business modeling is a creative process where new narratives need to be created that redefine how value is created and distributed.
It’s an eye-opening conversation and an important one to remember in an age when businesses are designed to merely meet investor expectations of financial returns rather than take a holistic approach.

Starting from Netscape’s IPO in the 1990s, Jennifer highlights the pivotal moments that shifted the focus from static business plans to the dynamic models of today.
As an Assistant Professor at Parsons School of Design and an advisor and consultant, Jen always advocates designing purpose-driven systems aligned with larger societal and ecosystemic goals. 
In the conversation, we touched upon multiple themes, such as the inheritance that financial logic projects on business models, how to look beyond financial capital (and the constraints making it difficult), and the new perspectives likely needed to start designing for a regenerative future. 
Tune in and join us as we stretch existing business model thinking frames.


Key Highlights
👉 Business models should be seen as dynamic, narrative-driven frameworks that evolve with societal and technological shifts rather than static plans.
👉 Designing for surplus rather than value capture allows organizations to prioritize contributions to ecosystems and communities over financial returns alone.
👉 Integrating multiple forms of capital—social, environmental, and intellectual—creates a more holistic business strategy.
👉 Platform cooperatives and alternative ownership structures demonstrate how shared value creation can reduce reliance on traditional financial logic.
👉 AI and blockchain technologies offer transformative opportunities, but their true potential lies in enabling community-driven innovation and operational efficiencies.
👉 Organizations must embrace bioregional learning ecosystems to address complex challenges and tailor strategies to their unique social, cultural, and ecological contexts.

The Boundaryless Conversation Podcast: Season 6

#109 - Beyond Existing Business Model Frames with Jen van der Meer

Sangeet Paul Choudary, globally recognised Platform Strategist and author, joins back on the Boundaryless Conversations Podcast for the 4th time. In this episode, the closing one for Season 6, we unpack how AI radically transforms the system of work.
Together, we explore how organisations can stay relevant as value is being redefined (intrinsic, economic, contextual), and how systemic design choices shape who benefits in a rapidly fragmenting economy. 
Drawing a powerful parallel to the shipping container revolution, Sangeet shows how AI’s impact operates at multiple levels, from simple task automation up to systemic change, urging us to think bigger than just isolated productivity gains.
He challenges the Techno-Optimist and Luddite narratives for assuming that competition rules and value distribution remain static in an AI world. Instead, Sangeet urges us to think about how the “pie” gets sliced.

Sangeet is a globally renowned author and has an upcoming book, “Reshuffle”. He is known for his deep systems thinking and sharp analysis of digital ecosystems.
In this episode, he explored how organisations must fundamentally rethink value (and their role) in an AI-transformed world and unpacks the often-overlooked link between constraints and value. 
He helps us distinguish local and systemic effects, urging leaders to stop optimising for short-term efficiencies, and challenges the outdated assumption that markets are uniform and competition is static.
If you’re curious to learn how your perception of innovation needs to shift, tune in.


Key Highlights
👉 In an AI-driven economy, organisations must redefine value in context, not just by markets, but by their unique purpose, position, and impact.
👉 Both techno-optimists and Luddites fall into the same trap: they assume the rules of competition stay the same. But as AI reshapes how the “pie” is sliced
👉 Traditional frameworks fall short - leaders must now navigate systems thinking, modularity, and multi-dimensional trade-offs.
👉 Strategic advantage lies in judgment, where decision-makers are directly impacted by their choices.
👉 Organisations must shift from task-level automation to system-level redesign.
👉 The future of leadership demands a long-term appetite for long-term planning - helping us thrive through uncertainty and systemic adaptation.
