This 1-2 day training workshop for 12-16 participants is designed to create a solid understanding of the principles behing Platform Thinking.  Using real-world examples, the workshop will cover the various approaches to Platforming, defining and engaging the team in understanding and applying the thinking to your business.  Day 2 includes an in-depth workshop on platforming within your company and applies this thinking to new innovation that is in your early development process.
