Platform thinking – MIT media labs talk covering key concepts

I’d visited MIT this summer for some research collaborations at the MIT Centre for Digital Business and for speaking at the Platform Strategy Conference at the MIT Media Labs, which attracted C-suite execs from leading technology companies, both as speakers and audience.

This is the video of my talk where I explore key concepts of Platform Thinking. Some of these concepts have already been covered on this blog, and some will be covered in future posts, in greater detail. Hope you enjoy the talk! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
