Business Models/Drivers of Growth & Profitability:
One-Sided versus Two-Sided
Traditional business strategies are designed for "single-side" businesses operating in a one-dimensional world. In this world, decisions about products and customers and suppliers are usually made sequentially, across the supply chain. This way of thinking is ill suited – and potentially devastating - to two-sided business environments. Since the success of each side is so deeply dependent upon the success of having all sides coalesce around a common platform, strategies, tools and methods must be radically different.
MPD helps companies operating in this complex business environment cross the bridge from one-dimensional to multi-sided thinking. MPD teams help multi-sided businesses uncover the "hidden forces" inherent in each side and construct strategies that drive profits for all. MPD also helps companies integrate their businesses toward a two-sided strategy, and advises them in the event that a one-sided strategy is more optimal given their market and customer conditions.
MPD's Core Expertise:
- Business model design
- “White space” planning
- Global expansion/entry strategies
- Strategic and competitive positioning

From Rings to Riches: A New Model for Making Mobile Content Profitable
On Dec 6, MPD principal Waishun Lo presented at the 3G World Congress & Mobility Marketplace 2006 in Hong Kong.
Waishun participated on the panel, Strategic Summit II: Next Generation Service Providers and Alternative Telcos, alongside representatives from Google, Telemates, The Shosteck Group, Boingo Wireless, and Podvertiser.
In his presentation, Waishun offers a new perspective of the emerging and fast-growing mobile content industry and examined various efforts to offer mobile content.
Drawing from the experiences of telcos now engaged in content delivery, Waishun uses MPD’s proprietary five-step framework to provide insights on the strategies of several successful (and other less so) companies.
