Professional Certificate Leading Business Transformation through Platform Thinking

Unlocking Potential, Driving Action

Many established companies sit on idle assets – data, relationships, capabilities and even physical assets – that could fuel new growth if reimagined through Platform Thinking. Yet, while leaders recognize the buzz around platforms, few know how to translate these ideas into concrete strategies.

This program bridges that gap, empowering participants to identify hidden opportunities and apply Platform Thinking to solve five critical business challenges:

1. Enhancing Transactions Among Existing Stakeholders to streamline inefficiencies and create more value in current networks.
2. Solving Evolving Customer Needs by onboarding new stakeholders and expanding value propositions.
3. Exploiting Underutilized Data to drive innovation and uncover new growth opportunities.
4. Harvesting New Data through platforms that incentivize stakeholders to generate valuable insights.
5. Complementing Existing Products by leveraging external capabilities to enhance offerings without starting from scratch.

Through practical tools, real-world case studies, and actionable frameworks, leaders will learn to design, launch, and scale platform-based initiatives - transforming static business models into dynamic, value-creating ecosystems.

It’s not about starting from scratch; it’s about unlocking what you already have and turning strategic awareness into transformative action.
