Platform Engineering done well: innovation, efficiency, market advantage

How can organizations get the full benefits from the discipline of Platform Engineering, popularized by the book ‘Team Topologies’?
The book ‘Team Topologies’ gave a bold new mission to platform engineering: accelerate the flow of value by reducing cognitive load for other teams. The days of slow, bloated, technology-centric platforms are in the past; now, with the fast flow lens provided by Team Topologies, platform engineers have a vital role to play in shaping innovation, operational efficiency, and driving market advantage for the entire organization.

By applying product thinking and fast flow principles to internal platforms of all kinds - technology (cloud, data, AI), but also wikis, how-to guides, and even physical resources - platform engineering teams can act as a force multiplier to detect and anticipate opportunities for first-class shared services.

However, it’s vital that platform engineering efforts pay attention to the social aspects of innovation and knowledge diffusion as part of their work, so that innovations are harvested at the optimal time via “recommoning”. Using techniques like Adapt Together™ and Enabling teams (from ‘Team Topologies’), platform engineering organizations can elevate their role within the organization from mere technologists to drivers of significant business value.
