Established firms are simultaneously building digital platforms, scaling AI, modernizing enterprise architectures, and strengthening digital governance.
Yet these initiatives are often managed in separate silos, creating duplicated efforts, conflicting priorities, unclear decision rights, and missed opportunities for value creation. We work with organizations to diagnose these challenges, co-design solutions, and test practical governance and transformation approaches.
Collaborations can take the form of research-practice partnerships, workshops, benchmarking and diagnostic activities, or student projects. The objective is mutual learning: generating practical frameworks and design principles for participating organizations while grounding research in consequential real-world problems.
Our research-practice collaborations have addressed or are exploring challenges such as large-scale technology acquisitions by platform owners; platform business models for incumbent firms; on-premise and cloud platform models; digital platforms for humanitarian ecosystems; technical debt and long-term digital transformation; integration and responsible governance of generative and agentic AI; AI investment and value measurement; and agentic approaches to managing data privacy, security, and ethical risks.
