22、eciding what strategic needs their ecosystem serves will guide how they choose partners,from skills,to industry expertise,and more.34Our research identified three things every leader needs to know about using hybrid by design to supercharge ecosystems:02 01 03 What to doGen AI has blown up your ecos

24、picking a handful of partners and riding that stable to digital nirvana?Despite high hopes,nirvana didnt materialize.Generative AI just blew up that strategy.The enterprise cloud landgrab lit the ecosystem fire.And generative AI is pouring gasoline on it.The resulting inferno demands a complete reth
25、ink of how you build strategic partnerships.Why?Because gen AI is an innovation explosion.Its the tech equivalent of reinventing the wheela fundamental shift that is redefining entire industries.More than two-thirds(69%)of organizations say they will get to open innovation with gen AI by 2025.3 But
26、thats not an easy road to travel.Thirty-eight percent of executives admit their organizations lack the in-house expertise to adopt generative AI for innovation.4This disconnect is driving the Great Tech Reset,in which organizations are completely rethinking their IT estate.As part of that rethink,th
27、eyre scrambling to build new partner ecosystems specifically designed for the gen AI era.And the stakes could not be higher.The right partnerships can give enterprises a huge head start on capitalizing on the power of AI.Consider this:For CEOs in 2024,product and service innovation is the number one
28、 priority.5 Theyll have to partner differently to achieve this goal because no one organization has everything it needs in-house to accomplish digital innovation.More than half(56%)of executives say strategic partners were highly important or critical to the success of their more recent large-scale
29、tech programs.6 And 74%say they select teams of strategic partners to execute most or even all of their tech programs.7 Seventyone percent are planning to or are already building a gen AI large language model(LLM)with a strategic partner to sell as a service.7“We dont want to build everything.We wan

38、tries,fostering co-opetition,increasing interdependence,and raising regulatory and ethical challenges.As ecosystems evolve with gen AI,heres what you can expect.Gen AI raises new regulatory and ethical concerns,such as data privacy,bias,and accountability.Ecosystem players must work together to esta
39、blish standards,guidelines,and best practices to help ensure responsible AI development and deployment.98Gen AI is reconfiguring value chains by enabling new business models,such as AI-as-a-service,and disrupting traditional relationships between suppliers,manufacturers,customers,and constituents.Th
40、is forces ecosystem players to adapt and reposition themselves to remain relevant.For example,a coffee retailer buys beans from a roaster,who sources from a farm.Enter a company offering an AI-as-a-service platform for customized coffee blends and roasts.The retailer bypasses the traditional roaster
41、 and manufacturer,ordering directly from the farm.The farm gains direct access to customers and optimizes production and pricing.The roaster,no longer needed,must adapt by offering additional services.The traditional value chain is disrupted,with relationships reconfigured.The retailer gains control
42、 over blends and roasts,allowing for customization and quality.The farm benefits from direct access and increased revenue,while the roaster must adapt to remain relevant.Value chain disruptionInterdependenceRegulatory and ethical challengesEcosystem players are more dependent on each other than ever
43、,relying on partners in newer areas like data and AI-fueled analytics.This interdependence can lead to new opportunities for collaboration,but also increases risk.In the digital healthcare ecosystem,a medical device manufacturer relies on a data analytics company to provide insights on patient data.
44、Meanwhile,the analytics company relies on the device manufacturer to provide accurate and high-quality data.This interdependence creates a mutually beneficial relationship,allowing both companies to improve their products and services.For instance,the device manufacturer can use the analytics compan
45、ys insights to develop more effective treatments,while the analytics company can use the device manufacturers data to refine their algorithms.But,if the medical device manufacturer fails to provide accurate and high-quality data,the analytics companys insights may be compromised,leading to inaccurat
46、e diagnoses or ineffective treatments.And if the analytics companys algorithms are not robust enough to handle the complexity of the data,the device manufacturers products may not be optimized for effective treatment.Niche ecosystems emerge within larger industries,as organizations focus on specific
47、 applications or use cases.This fragmentation leads to new opportunities for specialization and collaboration,but also increases complexity and the need for interoperability.For instance,in healthcare,AI diagnostic platforms optimize services for specific patient populations,such as cancer or pediat
48、ric patients,improving accuracy and efficiency.Niche ecosystems emerge,each focused on a specific application or use case.Fragmentation Gen AI is fostering co-opetition,where enterprises collaborate on AI development while competing in other areas.This leads to new partnerships,joint ventures,and st
49、rategic alliances,which can drive innovation and growth.For example,an autonomous driving platform could bring together leading automakers,Tier 1 suppliers,and startups to co-create a comprehensive autonomous driving ecosystem.Co-opetition and partnerships9 What you need to do:High-ROI tech programs
50、especially those driven by gen AIdemand a collab-orative ecosystem of tech providers.The hybrid-by-design tech architecture framework defines the capabilities required to deliver the program and the role each tech provider plays.Move from procurement to partnership.Ditch the RFPs built on lowest-bid
51、der logic.When you add partners for their digital capabilities,you tend to get what you pay for.Identify partners who understand your goals and can co-create solutions with a shared vision.Look for partners with a proven track record of integration and a willingness to share accountability for progr
52、am delivery and business outcomes.And dont discount existing partnerships that support current ways of operating that prove valuable.Make collaborative design the rule.Dont treat your partners like afterthoughts;remember,in a hybrid-by-design model,they are deliberately woven together in a system gr
53、eater than the sum of its parts.Integrate them into the design process from the very beginning.This fosters a shared understanding of the program objectives,the architecture needed to achieve them,and the operating model for ongoing success.A collaborative design process ensures everyone is rowing i
54、n the same direction.Replace service level agreements(SLAs)with SLAs+shared objectives and key results(OKRs).Forget outdated SLAs that solely focus on uptime.Establish a framework that combines SLAs with OKRs it can revolutionize the way teams work together.This aligns everyones incentives toward ac
55、hieving the desired business outcomes,not just maintaining the technology stack.Put another way,this approach shifts the focus from merely ensuring uptime.SLAs outline the service quality and performance expectations,while OKRs define the desired outcomes and measurable results.This collaborative fr
56、amework fosters a culture of shared goals,increased accountability,and improved overall performance.Hybrid by design focuses on a crucial trio:programs driving business results,the architecture to build and integrate them,and the operating model to keep it all humming.This may sound complete,but its
57、 missing a crucial piece:a strategic partner ecosystem.Organizations need partners who are invested in their success,not just selling the latest shiny object.Its time to stop managing vendors and start building partnerships for a future-proof,results-oriented enterprise.Heres how to square your tria
58、ngle and build a winning ecosystem:9The bottom line:forget the comfort of your old partner circle.Square your tech triangle.0110The next wave of industry titans will be built on hyper-collaboration and will center on the big tech plays that have the boardroom abuzz.From gen AI to platforms,the bigge
59、st tech trends are no longer the sole domain of individual enterprises.They require a level of collaboration and cooperation that was previously unimaginable.The winners will be those who can bring together unlikely allies,former competitors,and industry outsiders to drive innovation and growth.Two
60、patterns help drive this push within industries.First,organizations are no longer trying to be everything to everyone.Instead,theyre focusing on specific customer journey segments and teaming up with organizations that share their customer base.This laser-like focus is enabling them to deliver hyper
61、-targeted experiences that were previously impossible.Second,the most forward-thinking organizations are using tech to bring industry partners together,leveraging collective expertise to redefine products,services,or entire categories of both.This level of collaboration is redefining the very fabric
62、 of industries and creating new opportunities for growth and innovation.For instance,a hybrid-by-design approach to education can integrate different educational platforms,such as online courses,degree programs,and apprenticeships,to create a more personalized and effective learning experience.This
63、can improve student outcomes,increase accessibility,and reduce costs.Here are a few more examples of industry enterprises banding together for greater impact.Banking customers are used to being able to do most of their banking on a smartphone.Embedded finance extends banking services to much broader
64、 parts of the customers journey through life:shopping,big expenses such as buying a car or buying a home,going to school,getting healthcare services,and so on.Instead of deciding to make a purchase and then thinking about how to pay for it later,embedded finance provides the customer with financing
65、options directly at the point of purchase.Done well,this is good for the customer,the seller,and the bank.Seventy percent of banking executives say that embedded finance is either core or complementary to their strategy.9 Consider the partnerships required to deliver this play.The bank and the selle
66、r,obviously,but also the key tech providers for both parties.Each seller(the online retailer,the healthcare clinic,the online university)must link their mobile app to the banks services,requiring tech partners from both the seller and the What you need to know:10Moonshot collaboration bets will deci

74、Its alerting the driver to hazards.Most importantly,the car is consuming and generating streams of data,and the connected car play is about turning that data into business value.The ecosystem of partners for connected cars is big and complex:the car manufacturer,tech partners that build and maintain

76、iders have also become key partners.Today the connected car ecosystem adds two additional industries:energy and insurance.Energy companies have an interest in providing the charging stations for electric vehicles and providing(through their own partners)the applications for billing the car owner for
77、 each charge.And of course they have an interest in the EV charging data,as does the car manufacturer.Insurance companies have been building smartphone applications that can sense how the car is being driven.Cautious drivers will get better insurance rates than speedy,aggressive drivers.And insuranc

82、 software requires,and specialty tech vendors that build systems for managing and processing the huge volumes of graphics data that create the digital twin.Partnership ecosystems based on generative AI with hybrid cloudThe common thread across industries is hybrid cloud.Every ecosystem partner in ev
83、ery example is building digital products or consuming data from a partners digital products.And those digital products are being built and operated on hybrid cloud architectures.Platforms are another common thread.Each of these industry examples requires a shared space to access to each partners dig
84、ital services and to exchange and manage the data flowing across the ecosystem.Those platforms make these partnerships possible,and theyre built on hybrid cloud.Gen AIs advanced machine learning capabilities can optimize and automate the management of hybrid cloud environments,ensuring seamless data
85、 exchange and integration across different systems and partners.This enables the efficient building and operation of digital products,as well as the secure and reliable exchange of data,ultimately facilitating successful partnerships and driving business growth.What you need to do:Hybrid cloud makes
86、 it possible for organizations to improve the customers experience by co-designing and co-op-erating digital products.The hybrid-by-design approach provides the common blueprint these boundary-spanning business partnership plays require.14Dont be a spectator.Make your move.02Empower your corporate v

88、 that align with your vision.Regularly review and refine your partner engagement strategy to ensure it remains effective and efficient.Forget the solo actthe future of innovation is a synchronized group effort.Heres how senior executives can lead the charge in forging powerful partnerships that coul
89、d redefine entire categories,using hybrid by design to power up partnering:Put out the welcome mat.Forget RFPs if you want true innovation.Traditional bidding processes stifle creativity.Host joint“Customer Journey Deep Dive”workshops with potential partners.Explore shared customer segments and unea
90、rth hidden opportunities for co-creation.By departing from traditional RFPs,youll unlock a more agile and iterative approach to innovation.Joint workshops allow you to use design thinking principles to immerse yourself in the daily struggles and triumphs of your target audience.This experience will
91、enable you to identify unmet needs,uncover hidden pain points,and develop solutions that resonate deeply with your customers and constituents.Build a shared data swim lane.Establish a secure data-sharing environment(anonymized if needed)with potential partners.Leverage AI to analyze combined custome
92、r data,uncovering hidden affinities and purchase patterns across segments.This not only identifies lucrative co-marketing opportunities,but also paves the way for high-impact joint ventures.Think niche product bundles,targeted loyalty programs,or even entirely new service offerings catering to these
93、 previously unseen customer sweet spots.151416Todays tech landscape demands a fast lane for innovationa high-speed ecosystem where your organization,partners,and regulators cruise toward groundbreaking advancements.But ecosystems need clear standards and governance to truly accelerate.With the trans
94、formative potential and inherent risks of generative AI,the days of “figure it out as we go”simply wont cut it.Although 75%of CEOs surveyed say trusted AI is impossible without effective AI governance in their organization,only 39%say they have good generative AI governance in place.11Heres why stan
95、dards and governance are the unsung heroes that will speed your ecosystem journey:Going further,faster,togetherImagine a highway where everyone makes their own rules.Chaos,right?Ecosystems are no different.When partners,vendors,and regulators all operate under a shared set of principles,collaboratio
96、n takes flight.Streamlined processes,clear expectations,and a common understanding of risks allow everyone to move faster and achieve more impactful results.Taming the gen AI frontierAlmost eight out of 10 executives(78%)say they collaborate extensively with their ecosystem partners on gen AI.12 But
97、 gen AI innovation cant happen safelyand frankly,wellwithout gen-AI-specific governance.And even though 76%of organizations are already establishing policies and processes for gen AI governance,it doesnt necessarily translate to their ecosystem.13 For instance,even if your organizations enterprise g
98、overnance structure is in place,it wont help you with ecosystem partners who may not follow the same rules.Gen AI is a powerful frontier.But with great power comes great responsibility.Unfettered gen AI development could unleash biases,privacy breaches,and even existential threats.Heres where gen-AI
99、-specific governance steps in.Its not enough to rely on your existing enterprise governance structure.Your ecosystem partners might have vastly different policies,creating a regulatory patchwork that could stall innovation.Robust gen AI governance sets clear boundaries and ethical frameworks,ensurin
100、g a safe and responsible path forward.Effective governance fosters transparency and accountability,laying the groundwork for strong,trusted partnerships essential for long-term success.What you need to know:The innovation carpool lane needs guardrails.031716Governance by design,not governance by dis
101、asterMore than two-thirds of CEOs(68%)agree that governance for generative AI must be established as solutions are designed,rather than after they are deployed.14 This proactive approach is critical to ensuring that AI solutions are developed with safety,security,and ethics in mind.Embedding ethical
102、 considerations,risk mitigation strategies,and clear ownership structures into the development process ensures your gen AI solutions are not just innovative,but responsible from the get-go.Hybrid by design brings multiple perspectives for a more comprehensive safety netCreating guardrails and standa
103、rds for ecosystems takes time and multiple perspectives.A hybrid-by-design approach allows partners to co-create in areas such as standards certification,enhancing potential adoption.Partners can also jointly develop training and capacity-building programs that help stakeholders to comply with ecosy
104、stem standards and guidelines.This helps ensure certification and accreditation programs are effective in promoting compliance and best practices.Implementing guardrails around a hybrid-by-design ecosystem is crucial for the ecosystem to operate effectively,efficiently,and responsibly.Lets look at t
105、ypes of guardrails that can be put in place.17In the age of generative AI,with its transformative potential and inherent risks,the days of“figure it out as we go”simply wont cut it.75%of CEOs surveyed say trusted AI is impossible without effective AI governance in their organization,39%Althoughsay t

112、ck new possibilities for growth,efficiency,and innovation.Combining diverse data sources not only creates a more comprehensive view,it allows developers to build upon existing data and accelerate innovation.Develop and implement data sharing agreements and protocols that ensure transparency,accounta
113、bility,and trust.Implement secure,state-of-the-art data repositories to house this shared intelligence.But remember,security is a two-way street.Equip all data contributors with the knowledge and tools to share responsibly and ethically.Invite players from outside the walled garden.Convene a diverse
114、 group of stakeholdersa hybrid-by-design ecosystem views this deliberate,strategic diversity as an asset.Include not just your internal AI and data teams,but also key ecosystem partners,regulatory bodies,and even potential customers.This collaboration fosters a shared understanding of risks and oppo
115、rtunities,leading to robust and relevant governance frameworks.Take advantage of the diversity of thought by creating a“Red Team”within the ecosystem,composed of individuals from different enterprises,departments,and backgrounds to simulate potential AI-related risks and challenges,and develop strat
116、egies to mitigate them.Replace“set it and forget it”with timely tune-ups.In a hybrid-by-design ecosystem,diversity brings strength but it can also make governance more complex.Careful monitoring of everything from communication to engagement practices becomes even more essential to keep the ecosyste
117、m running smoothly.Regularly review and update your standards and governance frameworks to reflect evolving regulations,technological advancements,and industry best practices.Schedule regular reviews,not just annually,but also in response to major developments.These could be the emergence of groundb
118、reaking new research,the implementation of new regulations(such as the EU AI Act),or even significant data breaches that expose vulnerabilities in existing frameworks.To ensure the group doesnt fall into group-think,host a“reverse brainstorming”session.Gather a diverse group of stakeholders and ask
119、them to identify the most creative ways to circumvent or manipulate your existing frameworks.This can help identify potential vulnerabilities and provide opportunities to strengthen your frameworks.Building a collaborative ecosystem with strong governance,open data practices,and a commitment to open
120、 standards can help you ensure a smooth and safe ride.As you do so,youre collectively shaping the future of responsible generative AI innovation.Protect the innovation lane.031921Hybrid by design in actionFrom idea to impact:Streamlining business transformation with a hybrid cloud ecosystemBusiness
