The ecosystem Platform will enable transformative narrative & purpose-driven minds and connections to co-create proactive, broader, and lasting positive impact through the following:

•  Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP): MTP will 'Enable, like GPS, individuals, families, organisations, and ecosystems to Shape a Happier Next Normal and thrive'.
• Meta Mentoring: Meta Mentor will enable MTP-driven mindset, culture, capabilities development, integration of Digital Public Infrastructures (DPIs) & connections within & across interconnected ecosystems to visualise future & co-create cohesive & broader impact
• Ecosystem-Potential fit: To enhance ecosystems' potential, a systemic understanding of the ecosystem, visualisation of future scenarios, curation of authentic knowledge and relevant technology, and stakeholder engagement will enable a balanced perspective, open innovation, resilience, synergies across ecosystems, and cohesive impact.
• Potential-Platform fit: The funnelling of authentic knowledge as curated for the ecosystem and comprehensive understanding and interactions on the platform amongst stakeholder personas, viz., mentors, cofounders, business model designers, AI application developers, virtual CxO, consultants, coaches, and impact investors will develop capabilities to tap the potential.
• ExO Model: Leveraging enhanced ecosystem potential, capabilities development on the subscription platform, and power of technology scalable impact will be created 

Meta mentoring will offer practical Generalise-Specialist skills (with personalised & multidimensional understanding) to enable the development of an MTP-driven mindset, culture, complementary strengths, interfaces (across Digital Public Infrastructures) and connections (within & across ecosystems) to visualise the future and co-create cohesive, broader impact for the following:

• Value providers to focus on core & flexibly connect to partners & communities for the following: 
  • Be proactive. Kodak, with a 75% market share in the photography industry, was wound up when Instagram enabled the sharing of digital photos.
  • Avoid overlapping or reinventing the wheel, bridge gaps, synthesize fragmented initiatives, and meet unmet and changing needs.
  • Co-brand for higher conversion & sticking effect at a shared cost commensurate with the value captured
  • Enable autonomy to offer personalised creative solutions and bring back solutions for open innovation and scalable global impact.
  • Accelerated learning & skilling with needed breadth & depth through collaboration among specialists, coaches and experienced
• Pulling or building holistic solutions for Value receivers to avoid overwhelm on multiple fronts
  • The pandemic made us realise the gaps & need for collective initiatives to handle challenges beyond an organisation or country.
  • With voice & translation technologies, it is now possible to make simple solutions available to ordinary people.
• Continuously improving MARG framework for mentoring & sharing of best practices.

 A systemic understanding of the ecosystem, visualising future scenarios, curating authentic knowledge and relevant technology, and stakeholder engagement will enable a balanced perspective, open innovation, resilience, synergies across ecosystems, and cohesive impact to enhance ecosystems' potential.

Engagement with Business Ecosystem Stakeholders will enhance ecosystem potential to shape transformative narrative & co-create broader & cohesive Human, Social and Economic impact through

•  Research, Technology, Academics, Innovation, Muklti-dimensional Experiential Insights, corporate pragmatism, blending ancient wisdom & modern science and cross-learning across cultures, generations & ecosystems
•  Regulatory Sandboxes & Professional Ecosystems to enable synergies, resilience & growth
•  Entrepreneurial & Innovation Ecosystems to solve problems & meet unmet needs 

Potential-Platform fit: A subscription Platform as Service (PAS) will nurture culture, build capabilities & pivot initiative-stakeholder persona match for the following:

• Mentoring:  

The platform's mentors will follow Krishna's model, showing mentees a detached helicopter-like overview to offer contextual direction and a timely nudge while mentoring startups and supporting transformative leaders, incubators, accelerators, and investors. The mentor will ensure upfront understanding and trust building with investors, a balanced perspective, synthesis of fragmented initiatives, and leveraging of complementary strengths.

The mentors will also offer timely contextual nudges to Value receivers to pull and integrate relevant solutions. Value receivers' sensitivity and impact assessment capabilities for emerging scenarios are limited by scattered, inauthentic content, subjective biases or attachments, task focus, short attention spans, bandwidth constraints, and emotional influences. Due to these mental limitations, scarce resources, sentimental, commercial, formal, or fair-weather relationships, and negative or distracting influences, Value Receivers remain stuck. 

• Collaboration & Professional services 

 Value Provider has a limited focus on a niche that can address the present known problem, capture attention, stimulate interest, be easy to practice, and conform to the present narrative and demand. Full-time hiring or need-based consulting cannot ensure holistic, lifetime contextual understanding and commitment like a partner with a shared purpose, vision, and passion.

Mentors on the platform will enable leveraging the following complementary strengths:

Cofounders/ Virtual CxO at optimal cost- As a bridge between Experts or Experienced & clients to offer regular personalised services 

Coaching & Cohorts for learning, cross-learning, upskilling or reskilling

Counselling to understand situational problems & empower to rise above problems 

Multidisciplinary consultancy to ensure a multidimensional view & preparedness for present & future challenges

• Community connections, Newsletters & engagement tools to share best practices & encourage to remain aligned with the Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP) of the Apex community for eternal happiness for all & persona-wise sub-communities (like Children tourism for playful learning, Yuva tourism for adventure & cross-cultural learning and Spiritual & Wellness Tourism for the elderly

This ecosystem Platform as a Service (PAS) will leverage the following technologies and models to achieve synergies, scalability, resilience, and inclusive growth & ecosystem evolution

• Artificial Intelligence: AI as a copilot will support consolidating authentic, unbiased inputs based on ancient wisdom and modern science for the Massive Transformative Purpose of evolving for a Happy Next Normal. Retrieval of relevant content from such a knowledge base will enable
  • Matching need with relevant solution
  • Easy access & comprehensive shared understanding.
  • Effective conversations for cross-learning across cultures, generations, and professions
  • Empowerment & motivation to all concerned to make informed choices
• The Decentralised Scalable model, WEB3, Fintech & Blockchain technologies & Purpose Launchpad Methodology will enable agile, consistent, inclusive & sustainable impact through the following:
  • Committed flexibly available Partners with shared values
  • Community engagement to leverage diverse perspectives & mutual encouragement
  • Algorithms to match resources, solutions & needs
  • Leverage of underutilised assets
  • Gamification to enable engagement
  • Interfaces for interoperable systems
  • Voice & translation technologies to enhance accessibility & inclusive growth
  • Dashboards for shared information
  • Experimentation to derisk investment
  • Autonomy to capture local & personal insights
  • Social technologies to facilitate collaboration
• Regulatory sandbox to evolve regulations

Governance & Forward Path:

This platform will work as a catalyst to inspire transformative minds & co-create a scalable, tangible & intangible impact for Value Providers & Value receivers

Platform Management will handle Platform Management, Co-branding, Technology Support, and Compliance & will charge for the facilitation offered.

The Model Business Model Canvas indicates how the value propositions for each ecosystem can be integrated to enable the cohesive evolution of minds, cultures, organisations, and ecosystems.

The platform will consider reciprocal affiliations & cost/ resource sharing with value providers or other platforms & ecosystems.

The platform is founded as a bootstrapped LLP organisation to enable ease of start & fluidity in phase I. In future, it will evolve after interactions with ecosystem stakeholders are considered. 

In phase II, it will be converted into a section 8 company to attract impact investment and facilitate the modelling of decentralised ecosystems based on DeFi, Web3, and Blockchain. The impact will converge philanthropic & business investments. Global best practices for assessing intangible impact will be considered.

Roadmap:

We propose Interactions in the I phase, model ecosystem platform design based on DeFi, Web3, and Blockchain in the II phase, and evolution in the III phase.

 Phase I -Subscription platform to enable interaction functionality

 As the platform is PULL-driven, the Membership platform's inbuilt 'Interactions' functionality will integrate 1) Entrepreneurial Mentoring, 2) Collaboration for complementary strengths, 3) Coaching for skills, 4) Multidisciplinary consultancy services and 5) Stakeholder Community engagement.

For example, A Timeshare club can be formed to enable health, happiness, and fulfilling life for the elderly by integrating all related initiatives for the Wellness Tourism sub-ecosystem and the Empowerment of Senior citizens, as explained at https://www.gpsfornextnormal.in/Wellness-Ecosystem.

Phase II -Model Ecosystem Platform Design & Technology Deployment 

We will use insights and ideas from interactions in Phase 1 to design a Model Sub-Ecosystem Platform. This model will use Web3, Defi, and Blockchain technologies to create decentralised ecosystems that enable direct matches between solutions and needs without intermediaries or aggregators and promote inclusive, sustainable, and scalable growth.

 Phase III- Ecosystem evolution within & across ecosystems

 For evolving ecosystems, scenario planning, horizon scanning & future-proofing will be leveraged to strategise

• Evolving within ecosystems for geographic expansion, market consolidation, scope expansion & Business Model change
  • Through network effect for 1) Family-like bonding, 2) Value enhancement, 3) Cost-effective scaling up, and 4) Sharing cross-learning.
• Evolving beyond existing ecosystems for ecosystem carryover, portfolio diversification, contribution play & infrastructure play
  • Through impact assessment of tangible & intangible impact & choose to link for complementary strengths & delink to avoid systemic or cascading risks 
    • Digital photography complemented Kodak, as it leveraged increased demand through printing photos. However, the possibility of sharing on Instagram made printing photos redundant.
    • The global financial crisis spread as a systemic risk due to the global financial system's linkages with systematically important institutions.
