The world is changing faster than ever before. Technological disruptions, AI, digital value chains, new ecosystems, and hyper competition are challenging companies. How can managers keep up with the speed of change? Dominant thinking has centered around the concept of ‘competitive advantage,’ - taught to generations of MBA students. But this 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.
