EP 59: Why Every Company Should Be A Platform Company

EP 59: Why Every Company Should Be A Platform Company

My guest for this week's Future of Work podcast is Régis Mulot. Régis is the Executive Vice President of Human Resources at Staples. We speak on why every company should be a platform company. A platform company partners and incorporates technology from multiple corporations, partners, nonprofits, and educational institutions, to name a few. While this concept is not new, it is growing and evolving. Instead of only concentrating on what is going on inside a company, the focus is shifted to building networks outside of the organization. These networks assist in building a stronger, more profitable platform company.

Staples is a very large organization, and the 4th largest online retailer in the United States. With over 74,000 employees, Staples has many different lines of business that each continue to grow in the ever changing market. Régis has over 25 years of HR experience, working all over the world. He has spent a lot of his time working to support integration of the corporations Staples has acquired, in the US and Europe. Régis shows how the idea of being a platform company can lead to success. Knowledge sharing, data, and technology, are all collaboration tools that will be very prominent for the success of platform companies and the future of work.
