New Course: How to Build a Platform

I am pleased to announce that my new Udemy course is now available.

Course Overview

Why are companies such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Twitter so successful? What specifically are they doing and, more important, what you can you learn from them? How can I use platforms to benefit my business?

In this 48-minute course, I answer these very questions–and more. Specific examples are provided from the histories of today’s most successful companies

I first up discuss key terms like platforms, planks, and ecosystems. I tie these relatively new concepts into more traditional business topics, including innovation, leadership, risk management, customer retention, and social media. Limitations of platforms are also discussed.

If you think that only large companies can embrace platforms and learn from Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google, you’re wrong. I should know. I have adopted the management principles from these companies and seen tremendous results.

General management principles are discussed, as well as specific technologies such as APIs and SDKs (at a high level).

Hey Phil. I just wanted to let you know that I love what you are doing with this course. I use your “The Age of the Platform” book as one of my guides as I am rebuilding parts of my business platform. Thanks and I’m proud that you are a fellow Cornellian.

Also, how deep are you going into APIs? I know how to use web technology apps on a broad level, but would love to learn more of the nuts and bolts on how APIs work. Will that be covered in the course?
