Episode Description
The buzz: “A platform is a business model that creates value by facilitating exchanges between two or more interdependent groups, usually consumers and producers…Platforms don’t…own the means of production…they create the means of connection” (Alex Moazed). In the digital age, platform businesses are pervasive and fundamentally changing the world. The successful ones follow five patterns that naturally translate into market dominance, exploding margins and generating volumes of sensitive data. If your company is not on board yet, it’s time to reassess your assets, innovate and incubate. The experts speak. Dr. Bernd-Uwe Pagel, SAP: “The prize of greatness is responsibility" (Winston Churchill). Claus von Riegen, SAP: "That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach” (Aldous Huxley). Nils Herzberg, SAP: “Forget the past” (Nelson Mandela). Join us for Platform Business Models: Friend or Foe?
Game-Changing Business Model Disruption, Presented by SAP
Tuesday at 10 AM Eastern Time/7 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
The pace of technological advance is constantly increasing, pressuring companies to be more effective and use innovation to disrupt – and not be disrupted.
At the same time, many businesses do not fully leverage the innovation potential of their employees and partners due to a lack of skills or ambition, or ineffective legacy technology. As a result, ideas fail to come to fruition.
Join host Bonnie D. Graham as she invites you to take an additional coffee break with game-changers for our special series that offers a glimpse into tomorrow’s hot business and industry trends around Continuous Business Innovation – and how to “innovate innovation” within your company.
Learn how you can become the savvy Transformation Leader who takes your company across the finish line as you look ahead to the next wave of business.
Game-Changing Business Model Disruption, presented by SAP, on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel.
