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.

Sony could have done this. It has many great standalone products.
Apple has vastly stronger network effects.
Google is not making this mistake with Android

- 25. What Changes :: Innovation
Platforms Open Themselves to Third Party
Contributions

- 26. 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

own this

- 27. Consider product innovation alone
Harnessing 3rd party resources,
innovation occurs at a higher
combined rate
Even if a platform starts behind, its
value overtakes the product leader
‘’Permissionless Innovation”
protects information asymmetry.
Not only does this fill ecosystem
space, hard problems get solved by
multiple attempts.
Shed costs, keep 30% gains!

- 28. What Changes :: Strategy
Goal shifts from control, entry barriers, and
differentiation to more valuable market exchanges.

- 29. Porter’s Five Forces & Resource Based View
1. Goal is a protected market niche,
emphasizing industry barriers
2. Categories are sharp
3. Weapon is cost leadership or
product differentiation
4. Inimitable resources you own
provide sustained advantage

- 30. Platform Strategy Differs
1. Goal is transactions volume &
creating customer value. Network
effects provide sustainability.
2. Boundaries can be altered
3. Competition is multi-layered,
more like 3D chess.
