The platform could be said to be one of the
most powerful competitive advantages of the
digital economy.
Whereas traditional business has been done by
one company selling products and services to a
customer, the platform changes this
fundamental element of doing business. It
simply uncovers new sources of supply and
demand.
Develop a platform business means brings
together customers and suppliers to facilitate
more sources of supply and demand.
Business model creates value facilitating exchange between inter-dependent groups.

Why do we do Maturity Assessment
Maturity assessment help identify:
● Relative strengths and weaknesses in the area of integration, across the
different contexts of the company;
● Areas of aligned perspective that can built upon;
● Areas of differing perspectives that can cause friction within teams;
● Starting point for a prioritized plan for capability improvement;
● Areas within organization that:
○ can be leveraged as models for other parts of the organization;
○ can be improved to increase enterprise agility and speed of delivery.
