of the platform revolution. Some 300 platforms
already exist and the development of others is
rapidly accelerating.
Yet only 10% of platforms are likely to succeed.
How do you become one of them?

4. THE KEY LIES IN UNDERSTANDING
EVOLVING BUSINESS MODELS
A shift is taking place to ecosystem business models, which
enable the creation of scalable digital platforms that underpin
end-to-end solutions and services, and drive collaboration and
value across a network of ecosystem partners.

5. KEY ELEMENTS OF
ECOSYSTEM BUSINESS MODELS
PLATFORM ECOSYSTEMS
form around functional,
technical or vertical
capabilities and provide
the supply side of the
business model.
OFFERING ECOSYSTEMS
form around a robust
digital platform to create
innovative solutions
and services for end
consumers. These generate
the demand within the
business model.
ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
align multiple players to
common objectives and
enhance capabilities to
deliver extended value
propositions and superior
customer experiences.

Companies can reap the benefits
of existing platforms and offer
their services and solutions
as part of larger ecosystems.
They deliver value by making
platforms more resilient
and robust.
EXAMPLE
Level 3 and Cogent provide “middleman
networks” known as “transits” to help Netflix
extend its ecosystem by enabling the media giant
to pipe video from its platform into new markets.
7. Companies that want to implement and manage an ecosystem
of their own must decide where to place their competitive bets
and determine what type of leader they want to be.

Communications, media and
technology companies that
have pivoted their focus from
platforms to ecosystems—
and defined the ecosystem
role they will play—
are standing apart.
Those who fail to recognize
the power of ecosystem
business models are
setting themselves up
for marginalization.
There’s not a moment
to waste.
