  • Understand the core characteristics and components of a digital platform so that they can design digital platform(s) for their enterprise.
  • Ask if the client’s digital transformation (DX) strategy is aligned with a digital platform enablement strategy.
  • Ask if the enterprise has paid attention to the structure, culture, principles, and practices of platform teams.

  • Awareness and understanding of various platform strategies.
  • Application of specific platform strategies within the context of the enterprise.
