Part 1: Agenda & Key Messages
All companies need a platform strategy, as part of a joined-up corporate and digital growth strategy. The 7 key principles of successful Business Model Transformation. A ‘reality check’: ideal approach versus practical challenges. A reminder of the ‘RENEW’ process – the way digital masters transform.

Learning task:
Ask yourself and your colleagues these questions and compare the ‘mental models’ and ways of thinking about your group. It’s critical to create alignment on these questions once you’ve debated them.

Introduction
Corporate leaders are worried, as businesses face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The digitization of industries has disrupted traditional profit avenues and has made it increasingly difficult for businesses to grow.
Surveys have demonstrated the scale of the problem:
80% of CEOs believe their business models are not economically viable as their sector digitalises
94% of CEOs are unhappy with innovation efforts
85% of digital investment has generated zero or negative ‘Economic Value Added’
90% of corporate start-ups have failed
While we have to stabilise things right now, we also need to plan for the future and renew how we think about strategy, innovation and where best to invest.
Every company has the potential to grow like Amazon, Apple and Alibaba. They (simply) need to:
Invest in digital business models and platform strategies
Re-structure their operations
Innovate and execute in new ways
This easy-to-consume online video course shows you how. It is based on an in-depth analysis of the relationship between business models and financial performance; world-class case studies; best-practice methods; and frameworks.
