Michael Jacobides is a leading economist, strategist, and keynote speaker who studies how innovation reconfigures industries, competition, and power. He helps global organisations understand how value creation is captured in a landscape defined by platforms, interdependence, and ecosystems. Michael examines how new architectures of collaboration shift strategic advantage, revealing why many firms misjudge their position within these evolving systems.

He demonstrates that modern innovation is no longer about isolated products, but about shaping the rules and relationships that govern entire markets. He helps senior leaders identify bottlenecks and dependencies, providing the clarity needed to decide whether to orchestrate, participate in, or resist emerging business ecosystems.

On stage, Michael is rigorous and challenging, translating complex economic theory into actionable strategic insights. For C-suite executives his work offers a masterclass in breakthrough thinking, equipping organisations to lead in environments where traditional strategy tools no longer apply.
