Unlocking Shared Value: Interaction Field Series

The Interaction Field Event Series: Strategy and Value Creation in the Platform Economy

A look back at our very exciting and insightful book launch event!

Change is the only constant in business today. The rise of platforms, changing consumer expectations, and companies with almost no tangible assets are dominating the business landscape.  In the world of connectivity, it’s about collaboration, interaction, participation, and connection.   

Our CEO and Founder Dr. Erich Joachimsthaler recently released his new book, The Interaction Field: The Revolutionary New Way to Create Shared Value for Businesses, Customers and Society.  The book presents a new business model and operating model for the future – one that creates shared value for all. Companies that embrace this new model – called interaction field companies – generate, facilitate, and benefit from interactions and data exchanges among multiple people and groups–from customers and stakeholders, but also from those you wouldn’t expect to be in the mix, like suppliers, software developers, regulators, and even competitors. And everyone in the field works together to solve big, industry-wide, or complex and unpredictable societal problems. 

Inspired by our latest thinking, Vivaldi is hosting a series of conversations with leading business leaders and thinkers in the field of strategy and marketing to discuss value creation and debate how strategy rules and innovation playbooks are being rewritten by today’s leading companies. In the world of connectivity, it’s about collaboration, interaction, participation, and connection. 

Join our LinkedIn Live series and be part of a conversation with Dr. Joachimsthaler and leading business leaders and thinkers on how business strategy still needs to evolve. Leave inspired and ready to bring change to your business.
