IDC MaturityScape Benchmark — What Dimensions in an Organization Drive Industry Ecosystem Success?
May-23 DOC # US50692623 Presentation
This IDC Survey Spotlight answers the following question: Where do thrivers excel in their industry ecosystem maturity? The maturity of an industry ecosystem will vary from organization to organization — and may change from a simple, short list of organizations working on a specific project or venture to a complex, multiparticipant ecosystem. In February 2023, we set out to determine the current state of industry ecosystems by fielding IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystems MaturityScape Benchmark Survey, a survey that asks respondents to self-rank themselves based on IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystems maturity curve (see IDC MaturityScape: Future of Industry Ecosystems 1.0, IDC #US47771922, July 2022). The document analyzes organization maturity across five dimensions: people, process, technology, operations, and innovation.
This IDC Survey Spotlight looks at the industry ecosystem IDC MaturityScape respondents who identify their organizations as mature and expansive (levels 4 and 5) with their industry ecosystem approach versus those who are in the early stages of their journey (levels 1 and 2) and, more specifically, which dimensions (people, process, technology, operations, and innovation) are most mature. That is, what drives their ecosystem success.
Throughout 2023, we will continue to publish our analysis from this groundbreaking document: IDC MaturityScape: Future of Industry Ecosystems 1.0 (IDC #US47771922, July 2022).

Future of Industry Ecosystems — Government
May-23 DOC # US50218323 Presentation
This IDC Survey is based on IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystems Survey and is focused on the government sector cut of this survey data.
In May and June 2022, we fielded our second annual global survey to 1,270 executives across 5 regions and 11 countries. The goal was to determine executive and business leader sentiment on industry ecosystems, maturity of current approach, and future plans for IT and use case investment. Respondents spanned multiple domains and included CXOs, business-line leadership, and IT management.
Key findings from the survey include:
- Mitigating demand fluctuations and supply chain constraint and pursuing environmental sustainability goals are key joint initiatives for industry ecosystem partners.
- Trust and execution across industry ecosystems are the top risks to mitigate.
- Most organizations plan to, as they did last year, expand their industry ecosystems beyond their core industries.
- Service providers will play a key role in the design and enablement of industry ecosystems.
Another key area of focus for organizations when they consider the design and operation of their industry ecosystem is improvement of customer, consumer, citizen, or patient engagement and experience. That is, how does the shared, open approach of industry ecosystems (shared data and insights, shared applications, shared operations and expertise) better facilitate this?
Governments around the world continue to face multiple disruptions while proactively serving their citizens with necessary services and information. Balancing this complexity will only be possible by working more closely with ecosystem partners within the public sector, as well as outside with other industry organizations — whether in automotive, consumer goods, agriculture, energy, or high tech. Open sharing of data, a common set of applications, and on-demand expertise will empower this collaboration.

What was reinforced at the event is that organizations innovate faster, ensure improved quality and safe experiences for customers, and perform better when they collaborate with ecosystem partners. Digital transformation investments are now being extended outside the organization to build new business models with partners, so the common mission and end customer can be better served." — said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice president, Future of Industry Ecosystems

What We Learned About Retail Experiential Operations at the 2023 NRF Big Show
Feb-23 DOC # US50309923 Insight
This IDC Perspective discusses how, despite an anticipated recession and continued disruption from global events, retailers and vendors came to the 2023 NRF Big Show ready to celebrate the ways that technology has transformed retail since 2019. With 10 analysts onsite, IDC covered 160 meetings, gathering insights into the types of problems retailers are hoping to solve in the coming year.
This document also covers the technology we saw at NRF 2023 that optimizes and automates operation in stores, with an emphasis on frictionless customer experience, workforce empowerment, and the essential components of the digitized store. Technology investment continues to make sense for retailers despite economic conditions, as modernization and automation in IT management, business processes, and contextualized engagement will reduce costs and drive growth.
"Technology investment continues to make sense for retailers despite economic conditions, as modernization and automation in IT management, business processes, and contextualized engagement will reduce costs and drive growth. We saw evidence at the NRF Big Show that technology vendors are ready to help retailers ride the waves of market volatility expected in 2023 — from customer experience tools that power frictionless interactions to workforce experience tools that help employees fulfill a purpose, not just fill a shelf, to hardware and software that form the connective tissue of the digitized store," said Leslie Hand, group vice president, Retail and Financial Insights at IDC.

Feb-23 DOC # US49080823 Insight
This IDC Perspective reviews key trends and technology innovations that were highlighted at NRF 2023: Retail's Big Show — held January 15–17, 2023, in New York City, which attracted over 35,000 attendees across the industry, double the number seen last year at NRF 2022 in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Technology innovations focused on seven key areas: customer experience, intelligent operations, end-to-end connected supply chains, AI for better decisioning and operational efficiency, workforce optimization, sustainability, and infrastructure modernization. Retailers are accelerating data-driven automation to improve customer experience and resiliency.
Leslie Hand, group vice president, IDC's Retail and Financial Services, noted, "The exuberance for retail and retail technology investment at NRF this year spoke volumes. Retailers clearly understand that the future of retail business depends on the ability to meet customer experience needs for frictionless, personalized shopping experiences, even as they continue to change. Becoming digital businesses is core to meeting changing customer expectations, but perhaps more importantly, to be more resilient and seize a competitive advantage (and new opportunities). We are in the middle of a customer-led, technology-enabled revolution in retail."

Environmental Sustainability a Leading Initiative for Industry Ecosystems
Feb-23 DOC # US50148023 Presentation
This IDC Survey Spotlight, which examines results from our 2022 Future of Industry Ecosystems Global Survey (n = 1,270), fielded to CXOs, business-line executives, and IT leaders, environmental sustainability remains a focus initiative among ecosystem partners. We asked the following question: When you consider the collective capital you have across the industry ecosystems you participate in, what are your top initiatives? (By "capital", we mean asset, operational, financial, and people.) The top answer of environmental sustainability shows there is a recognition that the area is too complex for any one organization to address on its own.
In our Future of Industry Ecosystems practice, we focus on three key areas: shared data and insights, shared and codeveloped applications, and shared operations and expertise. Also important in our research is enabling blended physical and digital ways of delivering products and services to the end customer and collaborating with ecosystem partners. Each of these areas can contribute to improving an organization's environmental sustainability footprint.
We will continue to explore other topics related to environmental sustainability across ecosystems, covered in our current and future research: these include which participants in an ecosystem are most important (e.g., tech providers, public entities, service providers), what IT investments are and will be made, and analysis on the top sustainability use cases across industry.

IDC Survey: Future of Industry Ecosystems — Utilities Industry
Feb-23 DOC # US50123523 Presentation
This IDC Survey presents data for the utilities industry from IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystem Survey. In May and June 2022, we fielded our second annual global survey to 1,270 executives across 5 regions and 11 countries. The goal was to determine executive and business leader sentiment on industry ecosystems, maturity of current approach, and future plans for IT and use case investment. Respondents spanned multiple domains and included CXOs, business-line leadership, and IT management.
Key findings from the survey include:
- Mitigating demand fluctuations and supply chain constraint and pursuing environmental sustainability goals are key joint initiatives for industry ecosystem partners.
- Trust and execution across industry ecosystems are the top risks to mitigate.
- Most organizations plan to, as they did last year, expand their industry ecosystems beyond their core industries.
- Service providers will play a key role in the design and enablement of industry ecosystems.
Another key area of focus for organizations when they consider the design and operation of their industry ecosystem is improvement of customer, consumer, citizen, or patient engagement and experience. That is, how does the shared, open approach of industry ecosystems (shared data and insights, shared applications, shared operations and expertise) better facilitate this?
This IDC Survey on the future of industry ecosystems is focused on the utilities sector cut of this survey data. This industry is faced with a trilogy of challenges, which increasingly require organizations to expand their set of ecosystem partners within and external to their core industry:
- Enabling distributed energy resource management (DERM) for residential, commercial, and city locations
- The electrification many industries are undergoing, such as the automotive industry with electric vehicles (EVs)
- Energy transition to renewable, sustainable sources of power generation
Joint ventures are becoming more common in the utilities industry, and there is a recognition that digital investments must be made that enable easier collaboration, sharing of data and applications, and consistent engagement with the end customer. IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystem Survey provides a view into how these organizations are currently working and planning to work with their ecosystem partners.

This IDC Perspective discusses the role of big data and analytics (BDA), artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) in the Asia/Pacific retail sector. It further discusses how the retail industry has changed in a post-COVID-19 scenario and how these technologies are now key to tackling these changes in customer behavior. Once implemented, BDA, AI, and IoT can automate, streamline, and help with making accurate decisions across the retail value chain. For retailers, opting out of these technologies could mean missing out on gaining a competitive advantage.
"Setting up a foundation for artificial intelligence, which allows scalability for future innovations and technology stacks, is key for retailers. Given the changing consumer behavior, leveraging this technology along with big data and analytics and machine learning is critical in being able to adapt and stay ahead of the competition," says Ayush Narain, retail analyst, IDC Retail Insights for Asia/Pacific.
