Conceptual framework for understanding organizations
Work-in version of the Platform Canvas
The Platform Canvas is a conceptual framework dedicated to explain the mechanisms of multi-sided platform organizations, and how value is created, captured and delivered in the platform economy.[1] Multi-sided platforms, also called two-sided markets, like Amazon, Uber and Airbnb, create value primarily by enabling direct interactions between distinct groups of affiliated customers.[2] The framework serves as a strategic management tool to assist academics, entrepreneurs and managers identify the essential elements in platform businesses, understand the interrelations of these element and recognize the dynamics of associated network effects.[3] The 12 components of the canvas highlight the internal and external factors of the business model, and the orchestration of the affiliated ecosystems.
The Platform Canvas is derived from the traditional Business Model Canvas first published in Business Model Generation: A Handbook For Visionaries, Game Changers, and Challengers by Osterwalder and Pigneur in 2010.[4] The Business Model Canvas is widely acknowledged around the world by practitioners and academics.[5][6] It represents the structure and components of a traditional linear business model,[7] where value is produced upstream and consumed downstream, in a linear flow. The Platform Canvas, on the other hand, represents the structure, components and connections within multi-sided platform models,[1] where value is created in the interaction among marketplace participants.[2]
