About this listen
Learn how the most successful businesses are creating value and igniting smart growth in a fast-paced, competitive market.
Most businesses today focus on competition and disruption instead of collaboration, participation, and engagement. They focus on transactions instead of interactions. They seek to optimize or extract value rather than share it. They build assets and thrive on enormous scale, huge distribution networks, and brand recognition. But then along comes a rival that doesn't care much about your brand and your other assets, and it either rushes past you or mows you down.
In The Interaction Field, management expert and professor Erich Joachimsthaler explains that the only way to thrive in this environment is through the Interaction Field model. Companies who embrace this model generate, facilitate, and benefit from 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.
The future is going to be about creating value for everyone. Businesses that solve immediate challenges of people today and also the major social and economic challenges of the future are the ones that will survive and grow.

"One of the most significant inflection points many businesses are facing is the reality that their fates are not in their own hands. Instead, they depend on the actions of ecosystem players. Joachimsthaler's insightful book is a timely guide for how to navigate this new context. We all know that something fundamental has changed in how businesses deliver value, but many of us have no idea what to do about it. This deeply insightful book takes you behind the scenes to explore the idea of shared value - for real. Virality, network effects and learning have changed the very nature of competitive advantage. This deeply insightful book will show you how to use these shifts to your advantage." (Rita Gunther McGrath, professor, Columbia Business School)
"A thrilling new way of looking at a successful business model for the future. This fascinating book contains great business stories-such as LEGO, John Deere, Alibaba, Flatiron Health, and more-as well as important thinking today's CEOs should become familiar with." (Vijay Govindarajan Coxe Distinguished Professor at Tuck at Dartmouth NYT and WSJ best-selling author, Three Box Solution: A Strategy for Leading Innovation)
"A fascinating, practical and insightful book that brilliantly examines the value that platform thinking can bring to companies and brands in today's hyper-connected world." (Sangeet Paul Choudary, CEO of Platformation Labs, international best-selling coauthor, Platform Revolution and author of Platform Scale)
