2 Like species, businesses depend on supportive ecosystems Introduced in a McKinsey Award-winning Harvard Business Review article, the term business ecosystem refers to the community of interconnected, interdependent players whose actions determine whether or not a company's inclusive business model will succeed."

3 Inclusive businesses ecosystems (IBEs) are typically weak Key ecosystem stakeholders may lack the capabilities necessary to support inclusive businesses For example, market research firms may lack the skills and techniques to obtain accurate data on low-income customers Key ecosystem stakeholders may be missing These often include low-cost suppliers, credit bureaus, and certification bodies And many inclusive business models are new and unproven They may lack the networks, influence, finances, or track records to obtain the support they need from key ecosystem stakeholders 5/23/2017 AFRICAN REGIONAL FACILITY SERVICE FOR INCLUSIVE CENTER FOR MARKETS AFRICA (AFIM) 3
4 Strengthening IBEs requires 5 steps Assess scope and feasibility Engage ecosystem stakeholders Cultivate shared vision for change Design collaborati ve action plans Implement and continuously improve Increased opportunities for low-income people through stronger IBEs Enable mutual accountability and learning 5/23/2017 AFRICAN REGIONAL FACILITY SERVICE FOR INCLUSIVE CENTER FOR MARKETS AFRICA (AFIM) 4
