Shared Technology Platforms

Modern corporations are creating innovation ecosystems where internal teams work directly with portfolio companies, sharing resources, expertise, and market access. This integration goes far beyond traditional corporate-startup partnerships: ➡️ Shared Technology Platforms: Portfolio companies gain access to proprietary corporate platforms and APIs, while corporations benefit from rapid external innovation cycles. ➡️ Cross-Pollination of Talent: Employees move between corporate R&D teams and portfolio companies, creating knowledge transfer and cultural bridges. ➡️ Collaborative Product Development: Joint development projects between corporate teams and startups are becoming more common, leading to products that neither could create independently.

Understanding the Various NHS Data Platforms: Crucial for Improving Patient Care and Operational Efficiency I've recently completed an in-depth analysis of key data platforms in the NHS, advising healthcare organisations on where to best invest their energies and efforts. The platforms we focused on include: - Thames Valley and Surrey Shared Care Record (TVS) - BOB (Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire West) Data Lake - Federated Data Platform (FDP) - SE Regional Insights Platform (SEI) - Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) - Secure Data Environment (SDE) Healthcare organisations face crucial questions: 1. How are you balancing immediate patient care needs (e.g., TVS) with long-term analytical capabilities (e.g., BOB Data Lake)? Will your regional Shared Care Record have analytical capabilities built on top, or will this be the function of your ICS Analytics Specific Platform? 2. What specific use cases are you developing for population health analytics/management in your region? 3. What strategies are you employing to navigate the integration challenges between shared care records and analytical platforms? 4. What are your strategies for staff training and adoption across this array of platforms? Appreciate that depending on where everyone is based, every region will have different names for their Shared Care Record and ICS Analytical Platforms. Please feel free to share insights based on your regional equivalents. I'm keen to hear from my network about your experiences and insights. How are organisations prioritising these platforms? What challenges and successes have you encountered? Any information and insights from those directly working on these platforms or with inside knowledge would be greatly appreciated! #NHS #HealthcareTech #DataAnalytics #PopulationHealth #SharedCareRecord 

𝘄𝗖𝗕𝗗𝗖 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱-𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 One point I found particularly interesting in the Bank of England's excellent paper (https://lnkd.in/gGzSJbbV) on innovation and payments is this paragraph: “Another core design question for wCBDC may relate to the DLT platform on which wCBDC units are exchanged – specifically whether this is an infrastructure provided and controlled by the central bank or another entity. Some central banks have minted 𝘸𝘊𝘉𝘋𝘊 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘥-𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴 – creating a dependency on the operational resilience of such platforms.” 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗖𝗕𝗗𝗖 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀, 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. The same for all work on digital currencies and digital assets. The value of blockchain, is in its use as a “decentralised technology”. We refer to blockchain as a shared ledger (and Partior as a shared ledger platform), as the value is in enabling a number of parties to come together on a common shared platform. That’s where we get the benefits, of composability where applications by different parties, representing different digital currencies and digital assets, can interact/integrate seamlessly with each other, and of a common platform with simplified settlement processes as transacting parties are on a common shared ledger. That’s also why the interest in unified ledgers, in projects like Agora and GL1, and which started with multi-CBDCs. When you have multiple central banks on a common platform, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗖𝗕𝗗𝗖 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. That's why blockchains. As a technical solution to a governance problem. But it doesn’t mean it will be an easy change. Institutions and people have operated with a fixed mindset for decades. But identifying the need, and the risks (i.e. dependency on the operational resilience of such platforms) is important, because that allows a critical assessment of how to manage these risks, and eventually, with the risks managed, to accept that shared platforms is the path forward, and truly take advantage of these technology innovations.
