This document discusses how digital platforms and network effects are driving industry convergence and disrupting traditional business models. It notes that executives expect industry convergence to have the biggest impact on businesses in the coming years. Platforms are enabling new ways of unlocking value from spare resources and user-generated content. Examples like Airbnb and Uber show how platforms can compete against companies that own inventory by leveraging networks of users and their assets. The future may see more industries like cities, energy/smart grids, education, and healthcare transformed into platforms.

attention must shift from inside to outside the
firm.Reason: You can’t scale network effects
inside as easily as outside.

you must have an API

22. Exposing systems of
record to Mobile
apps
• Enterprises are taking existing businesses into the mobile world. Their data resides on-premise.
For mobile apps to be interesting & useful, they need access to this on-premise data.
• APIs provide a secure and simple way to allow mobile apps to access existing on-premise data.
Accelerate internal
development
• APIs don’t always have to be exposed to the world. Many companies build much of their internal
code in form of APIs, for reusability.
• Result: a library of useful components that can be reused to greatly accelerate app development
Expand the reach of
your business
• Increasingly, businesses are expecting to consume your product/service in the context of other
related services. This means interacting with your business not through your web page or store,
but through APIs
• APIs enable partners, entrepreneurs, developers to build/embed your service into theirs
Build hybrid cloud
applications
• The canonical hybrid cloud app resides in the public cloud, and accesses data that must remain on-
premise for legal, security, regulatory reasons.
• APIs provide a secure and simple way to allow hybrid cloud apps to access on-premise data
Monetize data and
services
• Businesses often have high-value data and services that they can provide and sell to others
• Peugeot (French auto manufacturer) sells their connected car data to external business partners
via APIs, resulting in a new revenue stream

25. Platforms Unlock New Value from Spare

What Changes :: Supply Chains

with hotels that must own them
RelayRides sells users’ spare cars,
competing with rental firms that must
own them
27. Instagram sold for $1B
not because of contributions from 13 employees
but from 30 million users
30. ’’In 2015, Uber, the world’s largest
taxi company owns no vehicles,
Facebook the world’s most popular
media owner creates no content,
Alibaba the most valuable retailer
has no inventory, and Airbnb the
world’s largest hotelier owns no
real estate.’’

Introduction to yourself –
David an Goliath story
A few years ago, CxOs could see the competition coming. The biggest risk was the advent of a new rival with a better or cheaper product or service. And you could fend off the threat by improving or expanding the range of products and services you offered, or getting to market more efficiently and imaginatively.
Today, the competition’s often invisible until it’s too late.
Source: Q1.3 Which of the following trends will impact your business in 3 to 5 years? [Rank up to 3]
CxOs are acutely aware of the change.
We asked them to identify which business and technological developments they expect the next "wave" to consist of.
Industry convergence clearly eclipses any of the other trends they anticipate in the coming three to five years.
Source: Q1.1 What are the most important external forces that will impact your enterprise in 3 to 5 years? [Select 5 without ranking]
But now, for the first time ever, the other members of the C-suite also see technology as the main game-changer.
While CxOs overwhelmingly agree on the importance of technology, they’re more uncertain about its impact.
On the one hand, CxOs welcome the chance to develop better goods and services, utilizing more efficient manufacturing techniques and more sustainable energy sources.
On the other hand, CxOs are desperately trying to cope with a “technological onslaught.”
Source: Q1.4 Which of the following technologies will revolutionize your business in 3 to 5 years? [Rank up to 3]
Most CxOs, regardless of their role, were fairly consistent in their view that cloud computing, mobile solutions and the Internet of Things (IoT) are likely to predominate in the coming three-to-five years.
Cognitive technologies (systems that understand natural language and are not programmed, but learn) lie next on the horizon, as the bridge to new levels of personalization and insight from exploding volumes of data.

the fact is that by dec 2013, it crossed 10000 api
shows the exponential growth of APIs, almost doubling every 5 months
Key message from Gartner that 75% of the fortune 1000 will have a public API by the end of this year. Shows how rapidly this is being adopted. And, given that many will first do an internal or partner API, this is very fast adoption.
