Business Ecology and The Business Ecology Initiative 2011: Abbie Lundberg Executive Director, BEI
Business Ecology is a management imperative to optimize business operations and foster innovation. It views organizations as living organisms in which all aspects of management, operations and process interact and interrelate, and which operate within a dynamic business ecosystem.
The goal of Business Ecology is to make business more responsive, effective, sustainable and secure. It does this through business-technology convergence, better decision making & design, business process excellence, removal of waste from business practices and technology portfolios, holistic risk management, and real-time insight and action.
The Business Ecology Initiative is a non-profit, memberled organization committed to breaking down silos and promoting Business Ecology practices both within organizations and among them. It provides thought leadership, education and advocacy and a platform for the development and sharing of case studies and practices among business and technology leaders.
