Why Every Company Needs To Be A Platform Company

My guest for this week’s Future of Work Podcast is Régis Mulot, who is the Executive Vice President of Human Resources at Staples (they don't have a Chief HR Officer title but if they did it would be him!) and also a speaker a the recent forum for the Future of Work Community. A platform company partners and incorporates technology from multiple corporations, partners, nonprofits, and educational institutions to drive business performance and build ecosystems. While this concept is not new, it is growing and evolving. Instead of only concentrating on what is going on inside a company, the focus is shifted to building networks outside of the organization. These networks assist in building a stronger, more profitable platform company.
