The Wharton Investment Resource Exchange Network (WIRE) at the WCNY is proud to host an interview webinar with Dr Erich Joachimsthaler, a leading expert in platform business models and growth.
Platforms are disrupting markets everywhere – and moving the ceiling on how high valuations can rise. Best-selling author Erich Joachimsthaler will discuss what it takes to build one, how to make one successful and achieve exponential growth.
Join us for a lively discussion on how strategy, branding and growth are changing in the world of platforms. The interview will delve into network effects and how needs and wants of today’s consumers are only met through building platform business models. We’ll also discuss how to meet consumer needs by developing brands through radically novel strategies.
About Erich Joachimsthaler
Erich Joachimsthaler, Ph.D. is a rare combination of consultant, author, entrepreneur, academic, and researcher who sheds light on massive branding, marketing, and digital transformations.
An award-winning author of several books and over 100 articles, Erich is a strategy, innovation and branding expert, “one of the most sought-after keynote speakers on the topic of marketing,” the founder & CEO of VIVALDI, and a visiting professor and lecturer at prestigious universities around the world.
His particular focus is on developing new marketing strategies applied to industries facing disruptive transformation from rapidly changing customer expectations. He has worked with hundreds of companies to build strong brands, identify innovation and growth opportunities, and fully realize them in today’s digital age. His experience and thought leadership have informed his new book, The Interaction Field, which describes the emergence of a new business model of the same name.

This new model goes further than solely extracting value for the benefit of investors or shareholders, it creates value for all participants engaged in the Interaction Field, as well as society at large.
