The Platform Design Toolkit was created in 2013 to overcome the limitations in the linear
thinking implied by the Business Model Canvas : the tool created by Alex Osterwalder was
great to model traditional businesses - where the brand produces and the customer consumes - but failed to help you modeling emerging, multi-sided, ecosystem based, platform models .
Since its introduction, the elements in the toolkit have been the most widely used design tools, from designers and strategic thinkers all over the world, for dealing with platform thinking .
The Platform Domination Platforms dominate the world of business and innovation today: these organizations operate as hubs , “organize” interaction, skills, resources and inventories outside of their boundaries and shape markets in the process. Platforms leverage on the power of
ecosystem contributions and win over competition. A number of studies described “networked businesses” ( platforms ) as producing more revenues, being more resilient and having better financial results: platforms are the evolution of services, apt for the future. Why do platforms win?
Platforms are tools for Learning
Platforms help brands reach unthinkable results
Platforms support individuals and companies hone capabilities and improve performance providing an answer to the pressure coming from digital disruption
By empowering others in the ecosystems and creating channels for transactions and relationships, brands multiply their potential reach and impact on markets
A new generation of Design Tools New tools of design are needed to help thinkers and organizations leverage on the power
of ecosystems by designing for mass participation of players in the business process. That’s what the Platform Design Toolkit helps you doing: to design platforms that generate much more value than they capture: How can Platform Design Toolkit help me design the future of my business processes?

The Platform Design Workshop and Our Advisory services By combining platform design tools with other complementary tools such as Value Chain mapping and Resource Based View , the Platform Design Workshop guides customers through a set of key steps: 1. Understanding Value Chain layers
2. Mapping Key assets
3. Mapping Ecosystem players
4. Designing a Platform Strategy
The workshop and our advisory services will help you understand what are the key entities
in the ecosystem , how the core value is created and how ancillary value streams are generated. It will also help you identify the key transactions and ensure that contexts or
channels exist for these transactions to happen through the platform. You’ll also learn
how to support the evolution of participants towards better performances; you’ll also know how to help them thrive and produce better quality services from peer to peer
interactions and make them create larger social capital and reputation for the platform to thrive. Who’s using the Platform Design Toolkit In the last two years, the toolkit has been used by startups for vision shaping, incubators
for mentorship programs, social enterprises and open source projects looking for
systemic impact, corporate strategy programs and by government agencies. The Toolkit is also part of Master's degrees and bachelor courses both in Europe and the US. Some of Platform Design Adopters
