Platforms
June 15th, 2008Platforms 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. ย But now impossible. ย What are your thoughts?
Remember, a platform is: a framework that provides a catalyst for interaction.
