This week’s podcast is about Snowflake and Confluent. But the main topic is how to think about coordination, collaboration and standardization (CCS) platform business models. And the 4 types of these platforms.

You can listen to this podcast here or at iTunes and Google Podcasts.

Here is my new book:

• Moats and Marathons (Part 1): How to Build and Measure Competitive Advantage in Digital Businesses Kindle Edition

 

I’ve now started breaking this into 4 sub-types of CCS platforms. They are:

1. Communication. Zoom, Slack, etc.
2. Data Intelligence. Snowflake and Confluent.
3. Team Projects. Manual and complicated projects like architecture, media creation, software development.
4. Operational Automation.

My explanation for Snowflake’s core platform.
