What we see today is the rise of the platform economy – a shift from linear value chains to value creation networks.
Companies have to move away from the thinking of „my“ product or „my“ service. In a platform world you become the orchestrator of multiple parties. Your job is no longer to develop new products, your job is to facilitate the transaction between the participants.
The standard business model canvas is a perfect tool for linear businesses – we love it too. But using it to design multisided businesses can end up in a mess. That‘s where the PIK will help. Exclusively designed for platforms where you have to manage multiple value propositions.
The PEC helps you to scan the environment of your business – key trends, market opportunities, industry forces like your competition and macroeconomic forces.
