From Value Chains to Ecosystem: New
Opportunities for Telecommunications and New Challenges for Managing Networks
and Services
by
The
world is getting flatter and flatter, hierarchies and structures leave way to
way to mesh and mash ups. Value chains morphs into
ecosystems. The impact on the biz is significant. What are the new challenges that the management of
networks and services have to meet?
In
addition, ecosystems tend to have a much more dynamic sense of stability, their
evolution is subtle in the short term but can be staggering in the longer term. And as they evolve they may overlap and this leads to
dramatic changes in the way biz and supporting infrastructures are shaped. Words like pervasive and ubiquitous may assume a quite
different connotation: no more something planned and
directed from the center to the edges under the control of few actors, rather
something happening as result of loosely related actions originating at the
edges.
The
talk will address the broad picture to stimulate thinking on the direction for
the next steps, both in fixed and mobile infrastructures as well as in the
changing paradigm of service creation and provisioning.
