Why do so many diverse ecosystems face the same challenges? The underlying structure of ecosystems makes them prone to certain challenges, such as silos, misalignment, and sustaining momentum. Here, we take a look at why the structure of ecosystems creates these challenges Previous Article: Attributes of Ecosystems When EcoMap studied hundreds of ecosystems across…
Silos – clusters of assets working separately from the broader ecosystem – are one of the most pervasive problems that ecosystems face. How do silos form? Are they inherently bad? We break them down conceptually, providing actionable ways for you to break them down actually
