platform is its ability <strong>to</strong> easily incorporate more”<br />
• Heavy reliance on data and technology<br />
• Tolerance, openness, and fairness <strong>to</strong>ward partners<br />
• “Through collaboration, everyone wins.”<br />
• Passionate users participating in innovative ways<br />
• Borrowing/reusing/synthesizing what others have done<br />
• “Coopetition”<br />

<strong>The</strong> age <strong>of</strong> the platform<br />
Platforms have been around since the „80s and „90s.<br />
Why are things different now?<br />
• Technological change <strong>of</strong>fers <strong>new</strong> opportunities for<br />
increasing the scope, speed, and distribution <strong>of</strong><br />
innovation<br />
• Previous platforms:<br />
• Were not as easy – or as fun – <strong>to</strong> use<br />
• Did not embrace partnerships and collaboration <strong>to</strong> the same<br />
degree<br />
• Couldn’t provide the same level <strong>of</strong> integration or convenience<br />
