Technological disruptions such as AI, exponentially developing digital value chains, new entrants in complex ecosystems, and hyper competition are just some of the challenges that organizations face. How can managers keep up with the speed of change? Traditional thinking has centred around the concept of  'competitive advantage,' - taught to generations of MBA students - but is no longer enough. Instead, leaders have to think much more in terms of which networks and partnerships they can leverage in order to create and secure the future of their company. Collaborative advantage is the new imperative for the next decades. In this book, the authors analyze how exceptional leaders have not only survived but thrived in volatility by skillfully orchestrating agile collaborative networks with customers, partners and start-ups. In-depth case studies and personal reflections of these leaders provide you with actionable inspirations for your own practice. Underpinned with cutting edge research, it illustrates how these collaborations can be managed in a data-driven way.
