"Once a new platform gains momentum "

Excelente texto, "The Lesson of “Don’t forget all the parts move”", sobre o que acontece durante a disrupção provocada por uma plataforma:

"What happens, almost all the time, in technology is that disruptive entrants gain ecosystem momentum. There’s a finite bandwidth in the best people (engineers, partners, channel) to improve, integrate, promote products. Once the new product appears compelling in some way then there’s a race to gain a perceived first  mover advantage. Or said another way, the leaders of the old world were already established and so a new platform yields a new chance to a leader.
...
The assumption that everyone is sitting still is flawed. Or just as likely, many of those incumbents will choose to assume their small part of the blackberry world will move ahead unscathed.
.
In a platform transition, everything is up for grabs. If you’re the platform you have to change everything and not just a few little things. First, no matter what you do  the change is still going to happen. It means that you don’t have the option of doing nothing. Once a new platform gains momentum and you start losing your partners (of all kinds) or can no longer attract the top talent to the platform you have seen the warning sign and so has everyone else.
.
As Blackberry learned, you can’t take the path of trying to just change a few things and hope that taking what you perceive as the one missing piece and adding it to your platform will make the competitor go away.
.
That’s why all the parts are moving, because everything you ever did will get revisited in a new context with a new implementation even if it (a) means the use case goes unanswered for a while and (b) the execution ends up being slightly different.
...
The lesson always comes back to underestimating the power of ecosystem momentum and the desire and ability of new players to do new things on a new platform."

Isto é verdade e merece reflexão séria.

No entanto, às vezes, quando uso o canvas em workshops sobre o desenvolvimento de modelos de negócio, sinto que é uma ferramenta útil mas algo incompleta porque não obriga a pensar em estratégia. No mundo da tecnologia, com tanta novidade, há muito "oceano azul" e quase basta aparecer para ter sucesso. Contudo, um dia, estaremos rodeados por muitas plataformas concorrentes e será preciso algo mais para fazer a diferença.
