Healthcare Ecosystems
A wave of change is coming to healthcare in the US, challenging established providers to embrace new business models and technologies. The Affordable Care Act, which will add over 30 million citizens to the ranks of the insured, is transforming the way consumers and businesses will shop and pay for health services.
Population and health dynamics are also changing as Baby Boomers reach retirement age, obesity increases across all age groups, and life expectancies continue to rise.
Now is the time for the future leaders of healthcare to mobilize and transform their respective ecosystems around transparent, more cost-effective, outcome-driven and longitudinal approaches to population health.
SixDI Navigator is being deployed across multiple healthcare ecosystems to map and model new value delivery systems and identify new paths to revenue for forward thinking organizations seeking to control their future roles in a complex and rapidly evolving space.
Finance Ecosystems
Dynamic markets and a rapid rate of innovation now require a more sophisticated set of tools for understanding and making investment decisions. The challenge has moved beyond information; it is in creating systematic insight beyond your competitors.
Established companies are vulnerable to disruptions which create inflection points in their growth expectations. New ventures are vulnerable to ecosystem trends which neutralize their innovations. A traditional industry view does not map the interdependencies and disruptions that create and destroy value.
Unlocking the secrets of your investment decisions comes from structuring what you know and deriving original insight. SixDI is bringing an ecosystem perspective to financial portfolios and investment opportunities. An ecosystem model draws unseen connections between industries, companies, and stakeholders for more informed investment decisions.
Energy Ecosystems
Globalization is creating new waves in energy consumption, production, and technology development. Amid volatility there continue to be questions of opportunity, timing, and adoption. Innovation and cost reduction in energy technology are now coming from around the world.
Consumers will soon be empowered with new products and systems for managing consumption as technology innovation will allow them to conserve more effectively, choose sources more actively, and produce independently. From energy saving lighting and low power electronics to home control and automation technologies, consumers have a new level of awareness around their ability to impact energy consumption and become active participants in energy conservation.
Industrial players are working to understand the trends of improved oil and gas exploration technology, global consumption, and market pricing. Understanding the timing and viability of these opportunities is critical to driving a strategy and retaining responsiveness and agility.
SixDI is mapping the intersection of consumer behavior and energy marketplaces. The timing and interrelation of these trends must be understood as they progress together as evolving ecosystems.
Technology Ecosystems
While disruption has always been the name of the game in technology, alarmingly the same scenarios seem to consistently play out for the incumbent leaders. Rapid ascendance and success in periods of accelerated growth—or simply good economic times—are mistaken for strategic greatness. As established players bask in the cash flows of earlier success, nimbler emerging rivals break the old rules, force ecosystems and their profit pools to collide, and build new value creation models that invalidate the old.
Today, pervasive mobility and the cloud are transforming computing and digital media. The second and even the third wave of web technology companies are threatened by pervasive mobility and the rapid growth of aspiring new competitors, who think beyond productivity and entertainment-centric solutions.
SixDI has deep roots in a wide range of technology business ecosystems, both legacy and emerging. SixDI was forged in the turbulent technology world and continues to foster disruptive thinking and creative destruction across the industry.
Education Ecosystems
Nothing is more important to our future than the education of our next generation. Yet education exists in a social and business context that is increasingly complex, as innovative approaches to education compete with an infrastructure that is slow and expensive to change. Education innovators must design and navigate complex, multi-faceted ecosystems that encompass academic, fiscal, legislative, and technological components in order to succeed.
Technological advancements are challenging the very delivery mechanism of academic knowledge. Pervasive mobility, personal computing, and cloud infrastructures are opening new pathways to knowledge delivery. From smartboards and tablets in classrooms to distance learning courses, successful innovators are developing alternative ways to serve up education while operating under strict national and state mandates and tight budgets.
SixDI Navigator helps map the complexities and challenges of new education solutions. Whether it involves building new delivery systems or leveraging existing channels, SixDI Navigator is the first and logical approach for innovation and reinvention in changing times, with solutions desperately needed by our education system.
