Digital platforms

Digital platforms are spreading extremely quickly and have turned entire economic sectors and value creation processes upside down in recent years. The resulting ecosystems are strongly characterised by network effects, control mechanisms and feedback loops, as participants influence each other through their interaction. The goal of such platform operators is to profit from this interaction.

Our offer

Platforms are the central business model of the digital economy and offer many competitive advantages over traditional value creation structures. Therefore, we support established companies as well as start-ups in building their own platforms and advice them on how they should behave in a platform ecosystem.

We offer:

  • Ecosystem analysis
  • Strategy workshops & lectures on digital platforms
  • Design of digital business models
  • Continuing education programmes
