Episode 121

Every IoT product, system or environment I’ve worked on has pivoted. And I don’t mean slight pivots, I’m talking 180 degrees or more. Why? Because the Internet of Things is new. New to the product builder and new to their customers. Because of this newness and the planning fallacy, it’s important to take a highly iterative approach to development. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Jeff McGehee about agile development and how to use it most effectively when building a new IoT product

We’ve all heard it before: garbage in – garbage out. This is especially problematic with IoT data where dirty data, data that is well formed but wrong, can cause a butterfly effect chain reaction, polluting the data lake, resulting in bad decisions and bad business.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with James Branigan about what bad data is, how to identify it, stop it and then deal with the aftermath

Before talking go to market strategy, we need to talk, go to green light strategy. For most people, internal or external, IoT is a big unknown and unknowns are scary. To get that IoT pilot started, think small and evolutionary.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript), with Michael Minkevich about his experience in building IoT products and systems, and the best way to get them greenlit

Alright, let’s talk building an IoT product or system. Time to cycle through concept – ideation – proof of concept – prototype – MVP – product.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript), part two of two, with Yuriy Pryadko who shares his experience in the 6-step journey to manufacturing or deployment. In part 2 we get into plenty of details and the numbers, using a fun but useful product example, this time in the consumer IoT space

Alright, let’s talk building an IoT product or system. Time to cycle through concept – ideation – proof of concept – prototype – MVP – product.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript), part one of two, with Yuriy Pryadko who shares practical advice on the 6-step journey to manufacturing or deployment. In part one we lay the foundation using an interesting example of an IoT system in the Fitness space, prepping us for episode 2 where we quantify the process

Episode 35

It’s one thing to be in a kickstarter–fueled start up developing your IoT product and quite another to be doing it within a structured corporate environment. Things get in the way. Priorities, personalities, politics and executive management. The same work needs to be done but other considerations need to be taken into account.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with Jake Fields about his experience in working with IoT teams within the enterprise environment and the development steps to take to successfully make it through to the other side

Because of the technology and data available, the biggest and most interesting challenge in designing an IoT product is to make it feel more like a service or experience, than a piece of hardware. Only after you understand the customer and what the opportunities really are can product design begin.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with Gordon Hui to get an uber designer’s perspective on how to find that ideal product experience and the business that must be developed to support it
