On 18 March, we kicked off our Whitepaper Community Calls, where we explored the latest research findings together with the community. In the calls, we provided space for reflection and deep conversations, seeking to build a collective sense-making practice.

On 23 July, we hosted a one-day online event to collectively understand the emerging challenges and new possibilities of building scalable platform strategies and ecosystemic organizations for a rapidly changing world.
In this event, based on the research leading to our upcoming Whitepaper New Foundations of Platform-Ecosystem Thinking, we shared insights into the evolving landscape of organizing and how to play the right role in the business ecosystems unfolding, while embracing governance and value-creation models that ensure whole-system development.

On 15 May, we released a checkpoint episode with Boundaryless’ long-term advisor Lisa Gansky, where she offers an interesting framing of the “No More” and “Not Yet”: a sweet spot for innovators and builders of new ways of organising and enterprising in the 21st century. We're drawing on this framework throughout the whitepaper.
