Product Digital-Platform-Business Co-Design: A Systematic Sprint Approach

In today's connected age, numerous companies that develop mechatronic systems in generations pursue a digital platform business model. Previous research created the SPDS – Smart Platform Design Sprint to provide product development processes with the necessary tool to build digital platform business models. The SPDS is a five-day method to discover and design digital platform business models. This research validates and further develops the SPDS to provide insights into the first practical application and evaluates the methodology's functionality by solving a real-world problem. More applications of the SPDS are needed to verify its robustness for improved generalization.
