🎯 3 Tips of the Week

Practical insights from TheNTWK Summit you can apply to your organization today.

🌍 Circular Transition

Summit Insight: In the summit session on IKEA’s Secondhand Marketplace, we explored how legacy companies can embed circularity by tapping into existing customer behavior.

💡Tip: Leverage what your customers are already doing, like reselling or reusing your products, and build solutions around it.

Apply it: Just as IKEA built a formal secondhand marketplace based on organic customer behavior, consider creating new business models on top of your legacy foundation to promote sustainability and affordability.

🤝 Ecosystem Innovation

Summit Insight: In the session on Health Innovation through Ecosystems and AI, we examined how open ecosystems and technology can drive real change.

💡 Tip: Go beyond owning the solution; build ecosystems where all players co-create and benefit.

Apply it: Use open innovation to address challenges in underserved areas, and leverage AI to enhance accessibility, reduce costs, and scale solutions across complex systems like healthcare.

🚀 Platform Disruption

Summit Insight: In the session on Platform Thinking, we identified five business challenges that platforms can solve - from scaling operations to unlocking new data and stakeholders.

💡 Tip: When the customer needs shift or internal data remains underused, platforms can bridge those gaps.

Apply it: Use platform models to bring in external partners, extract strategic insights from data, and transform your organization into a scalable digital business.
