Evolution
<p class=default>
Commercial systems, like natural systems, are shaped by evolution. Because an ecosystem¹s
species, be they biological or economic, depend on each other for survival (or death) and
growth, the disappearance, the mutation or the introduction of a species may affect the
fitness of other species in the ecosystem and can even snowball into an "avalanche" that
sweeps the entire ecosystem. While evolution has the potential to destroy, it is also a
powerful source of creativity: it selects the fittest individuals and recombines them in
ways that can lead to entirely new behavior.

At Icosystem we believe that understanding the mechanisms of evolution is key to
understanding the transformations of business ecosystems: it enables us to force the pace
of the evolution and develop insight into future scenarios and their consequences. We also
harness the creative power of evolution to design new strategies and technologies and to
evaluate their success in particular economic ecosystems.
