A PLATFORM:
• Is a nexus of rules and
architecture
• Is open, allowing regulated
participation
• Actively promotes (positive)
interactions among different
partners in a multi-sided market
• Scales much faster than a
pipeline business because it
does not necessarily bear the
costs of external production.

In any market with network effects, the focus of
attention must shift from inside to outside the firm.

IMPLICATION
Reason: You can’t scale network effects inside as easily
as outside.

To have an external focus,
you must have a
community strategy.

• Know where you are in relation to platforms: provider,
partner, potential partner, competitor.
• Assess your data assets; create a data strategy
• Invest in Governance to attract partners and their
investments

CRITICAL CAPABILITIES FOR FIRMS IN A PLATFORM WORLD
• Optimize external as well as internal supply chains
• Coordinate a distributed ecosystem
• Build and manage a common data layer
• Reset strategy to emphasize community as an asset, not
just owned resources

TAKEAWAYS FROM CHAPTER ONE
A platform is a nexus of rules and open infrastructure. A platform business enables value-
creating interactions between external producers and consumers. It sets governance conditions
for healthy interactions to occur.
A platform’s overarching purpose: to consummate matches among users and facilitate the
exchange of goods, services, or social currency, thereby enabling value creation for all
participants.
Because platform businesses create value using resources they don’t own or control, they can
grow much faster than traditional businesses.
Platforms derive much of their value from the communities they serve. The best platforms
create strong network effects.
Platforms invert companies, blurring business boundaries and transforming firms’ traditional
inward focus into an outward focus.
The rise of the platform has already transformed many major industries—and more equally
important transformations are on the way.

  • 25. TAKEAWAYS FROM CHAPTER ONE A platform is a nexus of rules and open infrastructure. A platform business enables value- creating interactions between external producers and consumers. It sets governance conditions for healthy interactions to occur. A platform’s overarching purpose: to consummate matches among users and facilitate the exchange of goods, services, or social currency, thereby enabling value creation for all participants. Because platform businesses create value using resources they don’t own or control, they can grow much faster than traditional businesses. Platforms derive much of their value from the communities they serve. The best platforms create strong network effects. Platforms invert companies, blurring business boundaries and transforming firms’ traditional inward focus into an outward focus. The rise of the platform has already transformed many major industries—and more equally important transformations are on the way.
