ecosystems of networks and devices as the next competitive advantage
DESCRIPTION
My Dreamforce 2014 presentation on the strategic use of Internet of Things to drive competitive advantage. Enterprises that build their ecosystems and network effects now have a chance to build long-term relationships with their customers through highly connected new products and services. Here's how and why to get there.TRANSCRIPT

Vision: Everything that can be connected will be connected
What will do you with this power?
@dhinchcliffe
Competitive advantage today is about being connected• The Internet of Things
– Every non-trivial (and many trivial) object is going to be connected to our networks
– 50 billion objects by 2020– All your customers– All their devices– Value moves from periodic engagement to constant
engagement– Required deriving insight and analytics
• The Internet of Customers– Connected relationships in scale– Through all devices and channels– Enabled by platforms and applications
• That orchestrate, analyze, and provide insight
@dhinchcliffe
Internet of Connected Products (IoCP) = IoT: Connecting all devices and all channels
Channels
Devices

Internet of Customers: When IoT passes through customer touchpoints

@dhinchcliffe
The first major clues about the strategic value of IoT data
@dhinchcliffe
The hype has never been higher
So where is the strategic value?
@dhinchcliffe
• Your organization is connected to all 1.5B people in the developed world 24 hours a day through their devices and digital touchpoints
- What will you do with this historic opportunity?- While there is still first mover advantage• They generate visible data continuously- On social media- From their mobile devices- From applications- From everything connected• This will enable you to make unprecedented insights in
real-time.• To drive high impact results
Motivation for IoT and IoC
Use to introduce a
demo, video, Q&A, etc. Identifying the Strategic Value in IoC
@dhinchcliffe
The major types of IoT
@dhinchcliffe
Network effects still the strategy, but IoT revolutionizes the game• Network effects have long
become the new ‘digital marketshare’
• Definition: Anything that has value the more than other people have it too
• Value is based on an exponential growth curve
• Is a force multiplier– But more importantly a zero sum
game• The Internet of Things is going to
shift the networked value conversation two orders of magnitudes to the right
@dhinchcliffe
The network engagement is where the strategic value lies
@dhinchcliffe
As a result, systems of record have grown less important• Because of network effects, systems of engagement have becomes the focus
@dhinchcliffe
Internet of Things will run our cities, businesses, and homes
@dhinchcliffe
The Enterprise View of the Internet of Things
@dhinchcliffe
Representative Internet of Things Examples• 12 key examples of Internet of Things
– in the consumer and business world• Many of which you’ve probably not heard
– Well beyond Nest, Fitbit, Dropcam, Belkin Wemo, Withings scale• And which will project an all new volume of data
– The device proliferation will require handling dynamic data types
@dhinchcliffe
Delphi Connect• A connected way of keeping in touch with your car, allowing remote control of automobile features and the ability to perform diagnostics
@dhinchcliffe
Sen.se Mother• Sense Mother is at the head of a family of small connected sensors that blend into your daily life to make it serene, healthy and pleasurable
@dhinchcliffe
Trakdot• A connected device to continuously keep track of your luggage anywhere in the world
• Uses networks of opportunity in 180+ countries
@dhinchcliffe
Skybell• SkyBell is a smart WiFi doorbell with video camera, speaker, microphone and motion sensor. See, Hear and Speak with your visitor from iOS and Android
@dhinchcliffe
Smart Ice Cubes• Digital ice cubes which pulse to the beat of the music
• But also monitor your drinking– How much– How fast
@dhinchcliffe
Bikn (beacon)• Tiny electronic tags you can attach to any of your devices and then locate them through your phone’s GPS
@dhinchcliffe
Smart Diapers• Disposable digital diapers with built-in sensors that parents can use to track
• And pediatricians can use to track baby health.

Smart Dust• A new formal standard for micro and nano-scale IoT objects
• Contains sensors (temperature, humidity, location, video, audio, etc.)
• Can transmit low power streams of data
• Can be used to instrument just about anything
• Nano-pollution will be an issue• Will generate trillions of continuous data streams

@dhinchcliffe
The IoT and IoC business case
@dhinchcliffe
Why IoT is different than previous connected strategies• Recent ubiquity• Standardization has matured• Protocols and hubs that can support the numbers of devices
• Far richer sensor data• Much lower cost floors• Small and lower power devices• Advent of wearables and embeddables– Smart everything
@dhinchcliffe
How to capture the strategic value with IoT
@dhinchcliffe
Data capture, volume, management, and analysis: The challenge for operationalizing IoT/IoC
@dhinchcliffe
The growth of big data from IoT will near dominance in 2015
...and it hasn’t even started yet
@dhinchcliffe
The Virtuous Road to Business Value with IoT and IoC
Instrument Your
Customer’s Networks
Help Them CollectTheirData
Gain Insight & Influence

T-Mobile wanted to get out ahead of customer defections to other carriers. They needed an accurate and scalable source of information. They looked to social media.The Story:
The Results:The firm integrated big data across their IT systems, using near real-time the analysis of 33M customer data records, web logs, billing data and social media information. The result: The company was able to cut customer defections in half in a single quarter.
Source: Financial Times
Cut customer defections in half in 90 days.
An IoT and IoC High Impact Case Example
@dhinchcliffe
Why it’s better to be the IoT intermediary for your customer...
...their data is much better when it’s with other people’s data
A Critical Strategy
for Differentiation
@dhinchcliffe
The advantages of a shared customer view of IoT • Comparison, baselining, benchmarking
• Scenario capture, lifecycle modeling• By looking at shared views, norms are established, and variances can be captured:– To replicate (when better techniques are
used by customer)– To remediate (when optimizations and
improvements are needed• The Bottom Line: Continuous customer relationships are enabling by orchestrating the IoT through IoC “hubs”
@dhinchcliffe
Where does this fit into IT or digital product strategy?
@dhinchcliffe
What should companies do to leverage IoC and IoT• Offered connected products and
services• Integrate data, customers, and
engagement into your services• Proactively leverage information
convergence from IOT– Provide customers deep, real-time
insight based on total knowledge of all customers
– Deliver concrete solutions that provide value (accelerate processes, cut costs, drive efficiency)
– Make it easy as Google
@dhinchcliffe
What will leadership in IoT and IoC require?• Big data skills
– “Brontobyte”-scale data volume capabilities– Data science (and scientists)– Cross-disciplinary vertical subject matter expertise
(SMEs)• User experience• End-to-end integration capabilities• Scale, Security, and Privacy• DevOps• For Startups
– Cohesive, multi-disciplinary teams• For Enterprises
– An Internet of Things (IoT) Center of Excellence
An IoT Center of Excellence
• Best Practices• Shared Tools• Governance• Education

@dhinchcliffe
How to become an IoT and IoC leader– Find white space in the marketplace– Differentiate your offering (new type of IoT, new
classes of data from collection and analytics)– Establish a strong network effect now (zero sum
game)– Use and integrate existing networks of IoT and
IOC whenever possible (through APIs etc.)– Use your global insight into customers to create
value• New value-add features and services• Unique offerings that integrate insights across
multiple IoT networks– Aim at becoming indispensable, not a convenience
