Part 1 - Platform Strategy: Digital Production Platform inside Volkswagen - Unlocking network effects inside the corporation The story of DPP started 3 years ago. They went through a selection of partners, formed an alliance, listened to customers and onboarded a lot of plants. Transformation of a classical production company into a data driven platform is not an easy journey and therefore we have invited Marc Geckler, the Tech Lead and Dirk Voigt, the business lead from VolksWagen to share their success story. Data is always the most valuable asset and sharing it can be complex even among different plants of the same company. DPP has initiated a three platform approach to create a powerful cloud and build the applications on top. This approach will help to remove the borders between plants and allow exchange of innovative ideas. How did DPP go around network effects? “It all started like popcorn”.

How to leverage network effects to drive CSR awareness and transformation INSIDE your organization? Nowadays, it is very crucial to address the challenges around impact on the planet and society. But how to implement it and engage everyone inside of your organization? The answer: Network Effects. In our latest episode of the PIK podcast we talked to Eric Mangin, CEO, and Paul Thiroloix, CFO, from French platform NooS about that topic. The platform NooS helps organizations to activate and engage with their employees in three ways - raise the awareness - provide education - and create caring culture, for example through donations or fundraising. How? Typically, most of the companies that make donations to support social activities in their neighborhood, but they don't track the impact that has been generated by the donation. Here Noos comes into the game. Tune in to learn more and understand how you can leverage network effects to increase awareness and engagement within your organization.
