Ecosystem Learning Through Digital Transformation

Ecosystem learning is what most educational institutions strive for. However, new theoretical insights on learning have emerged over the past 20 years and a multitude of new digital learning technologies have entered the scene. Consequently, there is a need for new research on ecosystem learning, digital learning technologies and digital transformation. This chapter explores the realization of ecosystem learning through digital learning technologies and digital transformation and analyses and explores the potential of ecosystem learning. The chapter is based on a literature review of theoretical contributions on ecosystems, learning, and digital transformation, and two case studies from the Danish pharmaceutical industry and the Danish insurance industry. Based on the analysis, it was found that ecosystem learning seems to be a successful solution in many industry organizations and the two case studies seem to indicate that multi-tenancy learning platforms and digital transformation initiatives are part of the solution.
