DESIGNING USER CENTRIC PLATFORMS
The digital platforms we now use on a daily basis make it incredibly easy to find what we are looking for. We can be matched with relevant partners, holiday destinations, applications as well as countless content types, products or services. Platforms have become masters at removing friction in user journeys by designing winning user experiences that balance the needs of all their participants. How do platforms ensure that users have the best possible experience and selection? How can platforms keep friction to a minimum while still offering the right options to its users? When should regulators be concerned about platform design?
