<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Attention Platform Owners!</p><p>Are you under pressure from stakeholders to deliver results faster and increase the value from your platform?</p><p>Do you worry that platform investments are expensive but offer limited returns?</p><p>Are you the owner or custodian of a platform and wondering where to start?</p><p><em>The Platform Owner's Guidebook</em> answers these questions and more to help you maximise your platform's value. You'll learn how to build capability around your investment - the secret sauce that turns expensive licenses into exponential value.</p><p>Based on a framework developed over twenty years working client-side, the book explores the platform owner's journey with plenty of stories - the good, the bad and the ugly. </p><p>It is full of real-world observations and applications from an author who deeply understands the challenges of platforms.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This book brings to light the key elements that are critical in launching, managing, and evolving a company's platform and business capabilities. If there is one thing I have learned in my career, change, whether good or bad, is hard. Change is a constant for a platform and the success of managing that change is critical for the business. Shane does an incredible job in this book outlining the areas companies need to focus on, how to mature capabilities within their organization and deliver real value to the business over time. </p><p><strong>Mike Kasparian, CIO, Forrester</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for writing this book! I read constantly and have never seen or heard of a book that focuses on the platform owner. Hell, I've never even heard the label Platform Owner, and I think this is what makes the book so damned valuable.</p><p>It seems every business book I read is from the perspective of the consultant, product owner, CEO, founder, or developer - and never from the owner of the Platform. It's a much-needed point of view.</p><p>The challenges, opportunities and benefits of owning a platform are really different from Product Owners.</p><p>Thank you for writing the book that's missing from my bookshelf and giving us such incredible insight into the goals and motivations of the Platform Owner so I, as a Consulting Partner, can better align with them.</p><p><strong>Lou Fox, CTO & CCO, Thunder Inc.</strong></p><br>
