Last year, we launched the Opportunities for Advantage Series (which will continue in 2023) to explore how exponential disruption and innovation require organizations to focus efforts to gain advantage.  In a recent review of the series, we found that there were patterns and groupings which deserved to be highlighted to jumpstart the series for this year, including:

• The opportunities for advantage created by the exponential disruption of the industrial base (including that of defense) coupled with exponential biotechnology innovation to build the bioeconomy of the future.
• The crucial opportunity for advantage realized by securing global and domestic IT supply chains for the future of emerging technology innovation.

We now highlight another cluster in the series:  the role of artificial intelligence Platforms-as-a-Service (PaaS); Social media platforms; Multi-sided exponential technology platforms (Additive Manufacturing, 3D Printing, Quantum Science); and collaborative ecosystems (based on strategic partnerships, collective intelligence, network effects, and open-source architectures) will play in the future of:

• Operations Research and Innovation;
• Business Model Generation and Value Proposition Design;
• Information Threat Vectors;
• Cybersecurity Threats, Attack Surfaces, and platform-based security solutions; and
• International Coalition-wide Networks and the Re-invention of Regional Innovation Hubs.

The following posts are a primer on the potential for innovation, including the challenges, threats, risks, and opportunities ahead for your organization.
