Season 5 Wrap-Up: Thinking and Doing Inside and Beyond the Platform

In this season wrap up, podcast host Shruthi Prakash takes you through some of the favorite insights from across the season. If you have missed out on some valuable gems, this might just be the nudge you need for all things inside and beyond platforms. Tune in. ?

We reviewed all 20 episodes from Season 5 and shared some much-needed look back and critical highlights. While the learnings are an abundant treasure trove, we handpicked a few and categorized them into four sections -?

?

1. Dystopian aspects of current socio-technological trends
2. Visions that resist the dominance of powerful technological forces
3. Doctrine and organizing for a multiplicity of teams and products
4. Visionary perspectives that think beyond the rules and push boundaries

?

This wrap-up is a quick look into what happened all season and will give you a peek at what to expect for the next one. We hope these episodes have brought you value in re-imagining ecosystems as you know it, and we trust that you will continue to support us in the coming seasons.
