The Collaboration Economy (ePub)

How six industries are collaborating with competitors, society,
and the public sector for competitive advantage

No longer can we consume the equivalent of 1.3 Earths resources
and expect to remain prosperous in perpetuity. We need a new
economic paradigm, one that yields growth in a way that strengthens
the global systems we rely on daily for survival, such as the
global water, food, and energy systems. The Collaboration
Economy--a model where the private, public, and civil sectors
collaborate for prosperity that can last in perpetuity--is
emerging. But what does this economic model look like? How does it
work? How can companies survive and thrive in the Collaboration
Economy?

The Collaboration Economy provides easy to use frameworks
and tools to enable leaders of industry, of government, and of
society to lead the effort to align growth with sustainable
development.
