Case studies: Ecosystem

This library brings together articles and resources that focus on collaboration at the scale of ecosystems—regions, sectors, industries, and multi-organisation networks. These pieces explore how value is created when diverse actors coordinate action without central authority, shared ownership, or linear plans.

The resources in this library examine ecosystem dynamics such as trust, alignment, network formation, and adaptive capacity. They show how Strategic Doing supports ecosystem-level collaboration by enabling shared direction, small wins, and sustained momentum across organisational, disciplinary, and geographic boundaries.

Rather than treating ecosystems as structures to be designed or controlled, this collection reflects an understanding of ecosystems as living systems that evolve through relationships, experimentation, and learning
