The prosperity of companies is more and more tied to their integration into their ecosystems. As the practice of innovation ecosystems (IE) orchestration evolves, there is a gap in theory and practice for strategizing at the IE level. The objective of this research is to propose a tool as a hub to promote strategic thinking within a manufacturing digital transformation IE and fill this gap. This research adopts the Design Research Methodology (DRM) to support the development of a tool supporting a workshop process for collaborative strategic thinking within the IE. The steps followed allowed the development of a comprehensive roadmap to foster technology development and collaboration within the IE, starting with mapping technology intentions, stakeholders exploring opportunities for collaboration and discussing their capabilities and ambitions. This paper provides guidelines to help companies seize new opportunities, providing them with a strategic tool for thinking in these complex environments.
