Data Collaboration

The most successful business models of the last decades are data-based business models. Most big tech companies are directly (Facebook, Google) or indirectly (Amazon, Netflix) relying on data network effects.

Data is the key to driving insights, personalization, augmentation, and automation. This can happen with a wide range of algorithms ranging from rules-based systems to artificial intelligence. However, most of the world’s data is siloed, unstructured, and lacks context.

Only organisations that own the whole data value chain, from data creation to data consumption, are really successful with data until today.

I am an early contributor to GAIA-X, the public-private partnership of the EU, aiming to establish data sovereignty of individuals and organizations. And I have extensive experience working with and coaching Data- and AI-based Start-Ups and Scale-Ups.

Most people don’t know there are ready-to-use technological approaches in the fields of privacy-enhancing technologies (PET), Blockchain/Web3, and hybrid AI that allow the vision of cross-organisational Data Collaboration to become a reality today.

In addition, hierarchies tend to create silos, competition, and negative externalities. Open Organisations can overcome these pitfalls. Would you like to know how?
