API business strategy is a component of your overall business strategy, where APIs are positioned as monetizable business offerings. A strong API strategy enables creation of Digital Platform business models that exponentially increase the value of transactions by creating a network effect. It opens up adjacent business models (B2B, B2C, B2B2X) and allows leveraging of partners, enterprise customers, third-party advertisers etc.
The Underlying Principles
APIs are not technical components
APIs should allow for efficient orchestration
APIs are not the agent of execution
