Apple launched the PC revolution but Microsoft licensed widely, built a
huge developer ecosystem, 6X larger.

Nike builds a biz platform
To be a platform
The system must provide a
useful function or service and
allow 3rd party access.
Examples:
iTunes: get music onto iPod
SAP: execute ERP systems

Facebook: connect family, friends & acquaintances
Cisco Smart Grids: capture AC/DC sources, route
power
Nike Fuel: motion capture and social benchmarking

Products have features,
Platforms have communities

Prices Change :: Tweet #1

Monetizing platforms means
free pricing is profitable
To price a platform with network
effects, who gets the subsidy?
There are 2 types of Free
1) Cellphones & Minutes,
Razors & Blades

2) Amazon also uses 2sided platform pricing.
Will do it more often than
authors or publishers.

Readers

Platform
Supply Chains Change :: Tweet #2

Platforms unlock new value
from spare resources and user
generated content
AirBnb sells users‟ spare
rooms, competing with
hotels that must own them

RelayRides sells users‟
spare cars, competing with
rental firms that must own
them
Instagram sold for $1B not because of
contributions from 13 employees but
from 30 million users
Internal Organization Changes :: Tweet
#3

Employees must see across the
platform, which must support a
shared data layer
Sony was a virtual Galapagos of
holding companies
Bezos Platform Mandate
1. All teams will expose their data…
2. Teams must communicate through interfaces.
3. … no other form of interprocess
communication allowed
4. Interfaces, without exception, must be
externalizable.
5. Anyone who doesn‟t do this will be
fired.
Innovation Changes :: Tweet #4

Platforms open themselves
to third party contribution
“A platform is a system that can be … adapted to
countless needs and niches that the platform’s
original developers could not possibly have
contemplated…”

Mark Andreeson: Venture Capitalist,
Netscape Founder, Board HP, eBay

Does Openness Work?

Open to developers −

− Open to “.com”

The Rise & Ignominius Fall of MySpace – Business Week 2011
Does Openness Work?

„„We tried to create every feature in the world and said,
„O.K., we can do it, why should we let a third party do
it?‟ „‟ says (MySpace cofounder) DeWolfe.
„‟We should have picked 5 to 10 key features that we
totally focused on and let other people innovate on
everything else.‟‟
The Rise & Ignominius Fall of MySpace – Business Week 2011
Platforms get enormous value
From 3rd party developers
Most firms can only
concentrate on most
valuable apps

Profits increase when
others add to platform‟s
“Long Tail
You don’t need to
own this
Why Platforms Beat Products
Value Added

-

Time

Consider product
innovation alone

- Harnessing 3rd party
resources, innovation
occurs at a higher
combined rate.
- Even if a platform starts
behind, its value will
overtake the product
leader.
Industry Changes :: Tweet #5

Platforms will displace
gatekeepers with meritocratic
crowds
Video production and
curation moves to
viewers from TV
station staff

Advice from
travelers replaces
that of travel
agents
What‟s next?
City as Platform
Energy/Smart Grid as Platform
Education as Platform
Healthcare as Platform
If you believe in the power of
people connecting, embrace the
platform.
If you convert your product/service
to platform, what would it do?
