Understanding Trust in Business Ecosystems

The video explores the concept of trust in business ecosystems, using HopSkipDrive as an example. It discusses how trust can be built systemically rather than relationally, and introduces seven tools to foster trust: access, contracts, incentives, control, transparency, intermediation, and mitigation. The video emphasizes the importance of combining these tools and highlights the role of digital and bionic systems in building trust. It concludes by suggesting that these tools can be applied to various systems beyond business, such as schools and healthcare.
