What does platform thinking mean? It is the ability to put platform-based mechanisms at the core of digital business transformations in business. Digital platforms like Uber, Spotify, Airbnb, Booking.com, and many others completely re-shaped the daily life of millions of users. However, many innovation leaders struggle to conceive the significance of their impact. Platform-based business models are not just the real of geeks’ startups, digital services, and Unicorns. This book shows there that their potential in creating value is higher than suspected. Even though platform ecosystems are complex, readers will take on a journey to become platform thinkers. Their eyes will be trained to look beyond what’s visible and start reading the platform world around them. Then, they will be guided into a step-by-step process and learn how to write a new platform model from scratch. This book is the result of a decade of research. It offers both a framework and practical instruments to champion digital transformation in any organization. It is specially intended for those who are interested in the glittering platform world and are still trying to figure it out.
Inspired by the actual transformation journeys of multinational companies, IDeaLs explores how re-framing our traditional theories reveals a more integrated approach to engaging people for systemic change.
Die Digitale Transformation führt zu tiefgreifenden Veränderungen in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, wobei Leadership eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Die Partizipation von Frauen an der Gestaltung der Digitalisierung, insbesondere auf Führungsebene, ist hierbei essenziell. In diesem Zusammenhang werden neben der Diskussion des Begriffs des Female Leadership auch Führungsstile von Frauen, ihre Karrierepfade, Persönlichkeitseigenschaften, Kompetenzen sowie die vielfältigen Einflussfaktoren analysiert. Denn weibliche Führungskräfte sehen sich sowohl hemmenden als auch förderlichen Einflussfaktoren gegenüber, weshalb Maßnahmen auf gesellschaftlich-struktureller, branchenspezifischer, organisationaler und individueller Ebene erforderlich sind, um den Frauenanteil in Führungspositionen zu erhöhen. Dieses Buch liefert dazu Handlungsempfehlungen.

A more powerful innovation, which seeks to discover not how things work but why we need things. The standard text on innovation advises would-be innovators to conduct creative brainstorming sessions and seek input from outsiders—users or communities. This kind of innovating can be effective at improving products but not at capturing bigger opportunities in the marketplace. In this book Roberto Verganti offers a new approach—one that does not set out to solve existing problems but to find breakthrough meaningful experiences. There is no brainstorming—which produces too many ideas, unfiltered—but a vision, subject to criticism. It does not come from outsiders but from one person's uniq...
