About us
With more than 10 years of experience in the field of entrepreneurship, business development and strategy development in medium-sized companies and corporations, I have seen the rise of a new generation of business models up close: the platform generation.
This new era of business models requires new strategies and approaches. Conventional business models, so-called pipeline business models, are faced with the challenge of adapting to an increasingly digital world and rapidly changing ecosystems. In order to remain competitive, every company has to deal intensively with the potential of a platform business model in its business area. Not because they all have to become digital platforms, but rather to develop a strategy for how they can position their companies in a platform economy. Small, medium and large companies have the opportunity to create their own platforms, to enter into partnerships to create platforms together to create, or figure out how to use other platforms to their advantage. Therefore, a platform strategy is essential in this generation.
This is where the Platform Business Model Canvas takes the stage. Inspired by Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas and the book "Platform Revolution", it was developed and presented to the international scientific community for the first time in 2019. The canvas is specifically geared towards ecosystems and platforms, it is easy to use and is aimed at entrepreneurs, managers, consultants, designers and investors alike. Now companies and founders can easily and collaboratively develop digital platform business models, visualize business ecosystems and prepare the transformation into a digital platform-based business model.
