The Convergence of Emerging Tech Enabling Digital Ecosystems - Part 2

In this episode I'm continuing the conversation with Ryan Rugg from R3.  If you haven't listened to  episode 26, “The Convergence of Emerging Tech  Enabling Digital Ecosystems - Part 1” you will want to take a listen before diving into this episode. We continue the conversation about the shift to digital ecosystems, what they are, why they are different now, and the business models and technologies that are shaping them.

As always, all the show notes and links will be provided on vnextpod.com.
