      That's why the true believers matter so much - for net value creation, self-commoditisation is a *good thing*.

      Did you read the whole thing? If you self-commoditize, you can drive your costs *up*…

      You're still assuming all the players are competing businesses. It's a wrong assumption that can kill companies.

      As if you assume "profit maximisation" as the goal, you will *mispredict future behaviour in predictable ways*.

      Wasn't assuming all players are profit seeking. If commoditizing results in higher costs, how is it good for an NPO?

      NPO's don't compete on price in talent wars, which is the main example Wardley mentions. Makes it harder to mess up

      Hah! Yes they do. The price they have to pay is discounted, but still goes up (or they go without).

      & there are plenty of other ways that commoditizing the higher layer will increase demand for, and therefore price of, inputs.

      Yup, but it also tends to create more opportunities for "Let's you & him fight" as the NPO uses conflict to raise the floor.

      Linux Foundation is most successful example, OpenStack is looking to be another - project benefits, even if vendors stumble.

          So the creative destruction of competitive commerce rolls on, but the ratchet of shared capabilities climbs ever higher.

          So the role of the NPO is to capture persistent shared value upstream, even as individual commercial actors come and go.

          OpenStack is good example of this mistake. It is all open source, but 'value added' cloud providers are all incompatible…
