Platform Strategy: Innovation Through Harmonization
Today’s tech is nothing short of amazing, but it can also be amazingly complex. That’s why many organizations look to platforms to rewrite the laws of IT physics: they boost innovation through standards; they speed up development while assuring compliance; and they reduce cognitive load without restricting choice. Building such an in-house platform, or even deploying one, is far from easy, though. Based on a decade of building platforms both as end-user and provider, this workshop dives into the nuances of what makes a platform, how to define useful abstractions, and the design trade-offs that platform teams have to make.
