While the latter<strong> is focused on guiding the participants through the standard </strong><strong><em>step by step</em></strong><strong> process using a project-work</strong>, we have been asked often to create a <strong>deeper format</strong>, thought for <strong>designers</strong>, <strong>trainers</strong>, and <strong>strategists</strong> that deal with Platform-Ecosystem thinking as a core part of their work.</p><p><strong>The context of Platform and Ecosystem is changing rapidly</strong>: as we enter an age of <em>continuous change</em>, rapidly transforming technologies, environmental breakdown, and social crises, we believe that acquiring the capability to design scalable strategies, will <strong>allow organizations to become positive transformative actors in the Anthropocene</strong>. A systemic view of markets is essential to a modern theory of platforms.</p><p>The <strong>Online Platform Design Certification Bootcamp v2.0</strong> is the primary and most comprehensive training format we&#x27;ve designed, to offer you a full immersion into Platforms and the disruptive mindset behind them. It&#x27;s a deeper and extended format <strong>dedicated to those that are aiming to become Platform Design Toolkit facilitators and become part of an exclusive network of individuals that master the real potential of platform design</strong>, beyond buzzwords and false promises for really transformative impacts.</p>

<h2>How does it work?</h2><p>The Bootcamp flow will be based on:</p><ul><li>short slide-based lectures;</li><li>personal, face to face coaching with Platform Design Toolkit team;</li><li>group-wide work;</li><li>small team exercises to apply the thinking to example projects and/or personal challenges.</li></ul><p><strong>Note that the Bootcamp is not strictly designed to apply the Platform Design Toolkit to a specific project</strong> but instead to gain a deep understanding and elements of mastery to be able to apply the thinking to any project, context of challenge afterwards.</p>

Platformization provides an <strong>opportunity to create scalable collaboration agreements</strong>, powered by <strong>narratives</strong>, <strong>technologies</strong>, and <strong>shared languages</strong>. </p><p>Platforms help <strong>companies and organizations leverage the power of ecosystems</strong> to grow and reach outstanding results that cannot be reached independently. It’s a key capability to help companies deliver more innovation with smaller investments with respect to building traditional services.</p><p><strong>Platforms-Ecosystems thinking is</strong> therefore often pictured as <strong>a “silver bullet”</strong>, but what is its real potential? In times of continuous change, and ever-growing complexity, mastering the design of ecosystem mobilizing, fast scaling, network effect driven strategies will make <strong>a monumental difference for organizations and designers</strong>. </p>

<h2>The Platform Design Toolkit and the Platform Opportunity Exploration Framework</h2><p>The <a href="https://platformdesigntoolkit.com/toolkit/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Platform Design Toolkit</a> is the original, open-source design method, first released in 2013, to build multi-sided, transformative platform-strategies to empower ecosystems in creating shared value. </p><p>Based on the tradition of Service Design, Lean Startup and Strategic Thinking, it was born to overcome the limitations in traditional, linear business approaches. </p><p>It has been used by thousands of practitioners and adopters ranges from Fortune 500s to the United Nations, from renowned worldwide Business Schools to nimble startups.</p><p>Perfectly complemented by the <a href="https://platformdesigntoolkit.com/opportunity-exploration/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Platform Opportunity Exploration</a> framework - <strong>both covered by the Bootcamp program</strong> - these toolsets provide an effective, clear and accessible process and a set of visual tools for the co-creation of platform strategies grounded in the understanding of markets, value chains and systems.</p><h2></h2><h2>Who’s this course designed for?</h2><ul><li><strong>Organization leaders </strong>running organization-wide Platform Design units and Innovation or Strategy groups;</li><li><strong>Consultants and freelance platform catalysts</strong>, willing to learn how to master the full Platform Design Toolkit capabilities for client’s projects and integrate it with other methodologies;</li><li><strong>Human resources experts and organizational designers </strong>willing to integrate post-industrial approaches into their organizational development practices;</li><li><strong>Systems Thinkers </strong>that want to master a powerful and digestible methodology to rapidly bring systemic thinking to the table, producing fast outstanding results;</li><li><strong>Entrepreneurs </strong>working on platform projects, interested in integrating a deep vision and practice in the work they’re doing, to maximize impact, and minimize time and energy lost in negligibly impacting projects.</li><li><strong>Policy-makers </strong>wanting to understand the full scope of platform thinking and the full potential of ecosystem mobilization</li></ul>

<h2>FAQ</h2><h3>How should I prepare for the course?</h3><p>Participants will receive preliminary reads and content, no specific preparation is required. </p><h2></h2><h3>It is a course for beginners or experts?</h3><p>This course is on advanced material - the creation of new products and services or the rethinking of organizations - but does so in a practical way and leaving to the participants the tools and references to use, so it is a course for participants that understand the context, but it does not require any previous knowledge on the subject of platforms, innovation or design. </p><h2></h2><h3>I&#x27;m already executing a platform strategy, can I still attend?</h3><p>This course is not focused on helping you with a single project, though it will be extremely helpful to accelerate your deep understanding of the context of the project you’re working on and likely have a decisive impact on it. </p><h2></h2><h3>I&#x27;m afraid I&#x27;m going to miss one or two sessions, what is gonna happen?</h3><p>We&#x27;ve designed an experience that is highly interactive among you, the trainers, and the other attendees. A great part of the learnings will be developed through the interactions and conversations within your working group, so it&#x27;s fundamental to attend the sessions in presence. In case of last-minute issues preventing your presence, you will get limited access to the video-recordings of the missing session, to keep the same pace as the other attendees. </p><p></p><h2>CONFIRMATION, TICKET INFORMATION &amp; CANCELLATION POLICY</h2><p>Please note that the<strong> Bootcamp is confirmed already.</strong></p><p>Our standard confirmation/cancellation policy: you&#x27;ll receive a message when we confirm it officially, not later than 15 days before the event, normally much before depending on ticket sales. In case of cancellation from our side, you&#x27;ll obviously receive a <strong>full refund.</strong></p><p><strong>Be sure you select the right option if you&#x27;re an EU VIES-registered VAT holder:</strong> you will save 22% VAT in that case and your ticket will be much cheaper.</p><p><strong>ATTENDEE REFUND POLICY:</strong> If you decide to cancel your ticket, you&#x27;ll be able to ask for a full ticket refund up to fifteen days before. No money refund will be offered after that date: you&#x27;ll be given a <strong>free admission ticket</strong> for any of the upcoming European Platform Design Toolkit Bootcamp in English organized directly by the Platform Design Toolkit team in the following months. </p>
