“The war is not for territory—it is for transistors. In the race for AI, SaaS, and cloud dominance, chips have emerged as the new high ground. NVIDIA’s GPUs, Intel’s custom silicon, AMD’s unified CPU-GPU architectures, and ARM’s energy-efficient cores are no longer just components. They are the carriers upon which digital empires sail. Just as the Battle of Midway proved that carriers—not islands—decided the Pacific War, today’s cloud wars hinge on who controls the silicon. M

1 - 🧭 The Strategic Dilemma: Visibility vs. Obscurity You're not fighting to build software.

Why We Need a Paradigm Shift in How We “See” Ecosystems. For too long, organizations have viewed ecosystems through the narrow lens of channel or indirect sales. They think: “Ecosystem = another name to push our products via other companies to the market”. This mental model is rooted in 20th‑century distribution economics, where value meant more sales and margin on resale. But those glasses are dead wrong in the age of AI, microservices, and digital marketplaces.

As ecosystems expand, so do the challenges. Companies must go beyond merely managing their ecosystems—they must actively lead them.

The digital landscape we navigate today is rapidly evolving, and the strategic importance of partner ecosystems has never been clearer. In my book, War of the Ecosystems, I emphasize the necessity for businesses not only to create exceptional products but also to cultivate interconnected networks that drive innovation and deliver extensive value to all stakeholders. This shift from isolated operations to integrated ecosystems is critical for long-term competitive advantage.
