Featured Organization: International Business Innovation Association (InBIA) The InBIA is the largest member-based entrepreneurial support network in the world, a global non-profit with over 1,200 members that leads entrepreneurship support organizations in 30 countries. For over 30 years, InBIA has provided industry best practices through education while enabling collaboration, mentorship, peer-based learning, and the sharing of innovative ideas for entrepreneurs across the globe. InBIA is a leader in providing industry resources for building thriving entrepreneurial ecosystems through sustainable entrepreneurial programs across a wide scope of global settings, industries and disciplines. InBIA, as a member-driven organization, focuses on collaboration among the global community of independently-managed entrepreneurial support organizations and the entrepreneurs they support. As such, InBIA is itself a System of Systems (SoS), or more precisely a System of Autonomously Managed Systems (SoAMS). While not normally thought of as an engineering-focused organization, InBIA offers services that provide patterns, methods and tools for the design of entrepreneurial support ecosystems, e.g. business incubators or accelerators and their service offerings.

In turn, InBIA services help member organizations help their customers, the entrepreneurs, with the design of their start-up and scale-up companies (which are themselves business systems that require full lifecycle design processes). In particular, these services help entrepreneurs with the process of value proposition design that yields a sustainable business. Value proposition design guides the design of portfolios consisting of new products. A sustainable business also requires concurrent engineering of business processes (capabilities) and an organization that can support the value proposition. Learn more about the InBIA. November 2021
