Platform Strategy
Introduction
Transitioning to a sophisticated platform is essential for businesses looking to scale and adapt to their growing user base’s needs. My platform strategy services focus on transforming your current architecture into a robust and scalable platform, ensuring it can support future growth and technological advancements.
HOW IT works
Platform Assessment
The first step will involve a comprehensive analysis of your existing systems to understand your current infrastructure and its limitations. This includes a deep dive into the historical context and types of platforms, ensuring we align with what “platform” means for your business.
Strategic Development Sessions
In these sessions, we’ll establish a clear, actionable strategy for your platform. This strategy turns your business objectives into a roadmap filled with meaningful decisions. These planning sessions will be scheduled weekly or bi-weekly, tailored to fit the project demands and your availability.
Design and Implementation
We’ll design a platform that effectively hides complexity while meeting your specific needs. The implementation phase will include incremental upgrades or complete overhauls, structured around common platform blueprints and tailored to reduce operational entropy.
Organizational Integration
As platforms need to be rolled out organization-wide, we’ll focus on how to grow and maintain the platform. This includes strategies for scaling, ongoing management, and preventing it from becoming a bottleneck. We’ll also guide you in building and managing a dedicated platform team.
Continuous Support and Adaptation
Platforms require ongoing adjustments and enhancements. We provide continuous support, ensuring that your platform can adapt to new challenges and opportunities. This involves regular check-ins and updates to the platform strategy as your business and technology landscape evolve.
The Architect Elevator
Throughout our engagement, We’ll help you understand whether you need an ‘architect elevator’—a metaphor for bridging the gap between strategic decision-making and everyday technical implementation. This will ensure that your platform strategy remains connected to both your business goals and technical execution.
