Diverging interests between different actors, sectors of activities or industries, can give rise to competitive tensions and disputes, may threaten its sustainability and also impact all of the stakeholders of the ecosystem.
Initiatives have arisen where organisations and industries in such systems have set up – or have been imposed - multi-stakeholder bodies in order to better handle these tensions, improve collaboration, foster good partnership relations and resolve disputes.
This session draws on International practitioners to explore examples from the food supply chain and energy sectors, as well as from the realms of sports and arts. It addresses the role of mediators, experts and peers, and explores how systems can be effectively designed and implemented, whilst highlighting how technology can play a significant role as an enabler.
