Organisation as a Platform
summary
Argues that reframing organisations as human-centred platforms unlocks real value by focusing on interactions, not hierarchy: cites Gallup figures like employee engagement 35% US, 15% global, shows business impact of putting people first with 17% productivity / 20% sales / 21% profits, and warns costs of neglect (global losses ~$350bn, hiring costs ~$1.1bn, 51% actively job‑seeking). Compares legacy firms to platforms (Hilton 142k vs Airbnb ~6k employees) and points to case studies and platform mechanics—network effects, data on interactions—as the levers to scale change.
