4. MARKET


A solid route to take when developing a consumer Internet of Things product is concept -> ideation -> proof of concept -> prototype -> video -> crowdfunding -> MVP -> beta with early investors -> product. Harvesting your vested customers to become true fans is an incredibly powerful way to take a product to market and doesn’t necessary sidestep traditional funding sources. One of the reasons I like it most however is because it follows my launch philosophy of Design -> Sell -> Build - especially important in IoT.

In the data science of IoT there’s no one size fits all data model. Each situation needs to be analysed separately by your data scientist. Then the output too, needs to be custom tailored to your customer - internal or external. This output, often in the form of a dashboard, is critical in aiding the identification of value with your data. Therefore, iterate on its design as often as you do on the design of the IoT product.

Schneider has seen the IoT light and they are following it at scale. Step 1, make all products connected. Step 2, develop a platform, in this case, for the energy management and automation vertical. Step 3, create more customer value by moving from products to products and services to ultimately driving customer results.

If implementing IoT within your organization it makes sense to target improving operational efficiency; it’s easier for the bean counters to sign off on than some esoteric new IoT business opportunity. This, as I’ve discussed before, is the thin edge of the IoT wedge for getting a pilot started. Next - what OPEX should you go after? Find a metric that everyone in the company or business unit or department, understands and lives by and then apply IoT there first. If people have a stake in it they will be more willing to change, readjust processes and help make the project successful. Rather than making it a top-down edict, power the IoT project from the bottom-up.

Episode 44

If your company is collecting data, and every IoT company collects data, it needs a formal “Information Security Program”. We’ve talked risk assessment in the past, that is the process of assigning liability to each potential security breach, but that’s only part of the program.
Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) I speak with John Ansbach about the rest of the “Information Security Program”, impending regulation and privacy concerns ...


Visualizing IoT big data is as much an art as it is a science. The palette is underlying algorithms and the exterior is color and texture mapping. Images aren’t static – they are interacted with in 3D or animated as a movie. The result is a science-based art form designed to convey information or present a story where the human mind can discover hidden value invisible to the algorithm. As a subset of descriptive analytics, it is another tool for the data scientist, subject matter expert or executive to extract value form the numbers coming from IoT sensors and data services.
