Define your network
The first step is to define your network and identify the sources and types of network effects and synergies that apply to your business. For example, you may have direct network effects, where each additional user makes the product more valuable for all users, such as social media platforms or online marketplaces. Or you may have indirect network effects, where each additional user makes complementary products or services more valuable, such as software platforms or ecosystems. You may also have synergies between different products or services that you offer, such as cross-selling, bundling, or data sharing.
- Defining your network has to start with defining what value you serve and then seeing how it fits in to your network. When you know how you fit within the cobweb of relationships and services that your network provide, it is easier to define who should come into your network.
