From Company to Ecosystem: Expanding Entrepreneurship Beyond Organizational Boundaries
foryouandyourcustomers is a leading European consultancy specializing in digital and organizational change, emphasizing a value-driven, decentralized approach. Founded by Jonathan Moeller, Stephan Mueller and Robert Josef Stadler in 2010, foryouandyourcustomers operates on the belief that organisations should serve the personal development of their employees, fostering a space for individuals and collective to grow, innovate and thrive. With 15 locations across six countries, foryouandyourcustomers employs 200 professionals who work autonomously within independent "cells" while aligning with the company's core values.
Over time, however, a new challenge emerged.

Some ideas evolved into new products, others into entirely new businesses, while still others required different brands, capabilities or market positioning.

How Embraer Reinvented Aftermarket Contracting Around the Customer
In aviation, complexity is unavoidable. Bureaucracy does not have to be.
Embraer, one of the world’s leading aerospace companies, provides its airline customers with a broad portfolio of aftermarket services throughout the lifecycle of an aircraft. These range from spare parts and digital services to technical support, training, engineering services and even the temporary provision of pilots and mechanics.

The spark for changing this came directly from a customer.

News #09-25: Procurement and Innovation
For too long, procurement has been seen as the enemy of innovation, slowing things down with rigid processes, contracts, and a cost-first mindset. But in today’s world of disruption, AI, and ecosystem collaboration, that old paradigm no longer works.
Innovation does not emerge from isolated teams. It flourishes when organizations and their partners create the right conditions to experiment, adapt, and grow together. Procurement is at the very heart of that shift. From agile contracting to ecosystem design, it can either stifle or unlock the collaboration that innovation depends on.
