Drive Digital Transformation With Platform Strategies
Innovate and transform your business models with digital platforms.
Onsite Workshop
Without an understanding of the digital platform model enterprises will:
- Struggle to remain competitive in the digital era.

Enterprises that implement the platform business model and a digital platform will:
- Experience business model innovation (refresh/renew).
- Succeed with DX.
- Lay the foundation for a digital enterprise, which includes understanding the strategies, design goals, components, and culture/structure of engineering teams.
- Design a digital platform that can lead to successful IT transformation.
