Platforms

June 15th, 2008

Platforms used to be something you stood on whilst you waited for the train.

Platforms now are shaking up industries.

A platform for users to buy any book they want. Amazon.

A platform for businesses to sell anything they want. Ebay.

A platform for any business to advertise to anyone. Google.

Question is, how can YOU deliver a platform in your specialty.

How about:

  • Product design | Imagine the efficiencies you would gain providing a platform for product designers to meet with clients.
  • Electricity supply? | Provide a platform for anyone/everyone to generate and sell their own electricity?
  • Doctors visits | Hard one.  But now impossible.  What are your thoughts?
Remember, a platform is: a framework that provides a catalyst for interaction.
