Practical Advice for Ecosystem Builders
By a practitioner.
For practitioners.
If you're here, I assume you're eager to build that ecosystem.
You simply may not know how or where to start. It's easier than you think.
Or you're in the throes of building your local [entrepreneurship, innovation, social change] ecosystem, but you're stuck. Frustrated with silos, distrust and a lack of collaboration. It's harder than you think.
You wonder how other ecosystem builders break down barriers, bring other actors to the table and build a thriving ecosystem.
To you, this work is personal. More of a calling than a 9-5.
Some days you feel like you're laying the groundwork for systems change. Other days you wonder whether anyone but you cares.
They do. And I'm here to remind you of that.
