Curriculum

Module 1: Module 1

04:18:25
Lecture 1 Introduction to IoT
43:20

Introduction to IoT describes what Internet of Things is and how it differs from the traditional Internet. It then describes how, just like the Internet did, the Internet of Things will dramatically change every business during the next 10 years. It describes opportunities and sets realistic expectations for IoT. Finally, the session describes how to introduce and implement IoT into your business. Section covers a number of businesses and business areas and sets the stage for successful introduction of IoT in any business.

Lecture 2 The 4 Pillars of IoT
40:52

The 4 Pillars of IoT covers the four pieces that make up an IoT solution or implementation. By focusing on the big picture we avoid technical myopia and instead focus on the fundamentals needed for a functioning IoT implementation including Product, Connectivity, Web Platforms and the critical customer and business applications that make IoT meaningful and operational.

Lecture 3 The Technologies underlying IoT
35:50

While IoT itself is all about user experience, user interaction and new products and business structures, creating an IoT solution depends on incorporating or augmenting key technologies in a business in order to realize these outcomes. They span from using chip technologies to make products smart and utilizing different communications technologies to connect them to the Internet to developing applications and solutions using existing platforms or new technologies. This section explains these at a high level pointing out underlying trends driving their evolution.

Lecture 4 The Business Opportunities of IoT
26:35

IoT is all about Business Opportunities. While the most talked about are new products and services made possible by Internet connectivity, more mundane opportunities exist in improving customer satisfaction and customer service. One of the exciting things about IoT is that we will find completely new business opportunities not imaginable today. Using Internet analogies, we assess some of these opportunities and mention methods of brainstorming when thinking about them. Finally, the mundane Business Case is critical for any new business and we discuss the content of an IoT business case and why it differs from other business cases.

Lecture 5 What do IoT Solutions Look Like?
26:02

This module will present IoT from a number of relevant business perspectives. The user perspective describes how customers will see IoT in the form of new product attributes, better service and completely new product offerings. The business perspective covers opportunities as well as competitive risks. The biggest change will come from operational improvements and changes stemming from IoT technologies in the market while Revenue and Cost describes the bottom line impact.

Lecture 6 How do you introduce IoT into your Business?
45:44

Introducing IoT into a business poses even more challenges than those posed by the Internet. The reason is that IoT touches many more points of a business than a web site or web application. This section starts with strategy and alignment and moves over to organization and budgeting. IoT, just like the web, will need budgeting and will touch areas like product development, manufacturing, distribution and customer satisfaction. A complete end-to-end look at the IoT solution and how it is deployed is therefore necessary combined with a realistic assessment of what it takes to have a solid foothold in the market and grow the IoT business.

Lecture 7 Creating Your IoT Business
40:02

Creating your IoT Business puts all the pieces together by addressing all the fundamental questions. How do you sketch out how to implement an IoT Business? What will it take to implement in the form of organizational, managerial and financial resources? How do I align the organization around new IoT offerings? Finally, we cover Management and Budgeting and what type of skills and resources are needed to successfully create an IoT business.
