Consumption led ecosystem development and imagination

      Consumption is the realization of a resource. Consumption enablement is the ability of an entity to seek, find, engage, defend and retreat from a resource. Ecosystem development is the manifestation of enablement strategies and describes competition and cooperation. Ecosystem diversity is the interplay of strategies with complex entities in placing more emphasis on mobility (seeking, finding and retreating) than simplified entities (engaging and defending). Mobility requires imagination - that the resource will be present at a certain time. Humans have the most advanced form of imagination and can compete and collaborate across space and time. This presentation will describe these concepts and place them in the context of innovation.
