Internet of Things Means Rethinking Your Enterprises' Relationship With Technology

 

 

Connected Data-driven Business Strategy

Professor Michael Porter's Harvard Business Review articles about smart connected data-driven business strategy and business transformation make clear why Internet of Things (IoT) and Advanced Data Analytics capabilities are more than just another set of technology tools. IoT and Data Analytics have become the foundation of an entirely new way of doing business, as well as giving rise to entirely new businesses. 

Smart connected data-driven business changes customer journeys into 24x7 relationships. It delivers new understanding and prediction of product performance and associated customer experiences. It adds new unparalleled productivity, efficiency and quality to core business processes. And, ultimately, changes the ways enterprises create growth, enterprise value and competitive advantage  - at the same time creating new possibility to lose to competitors and new entrants through digital disruption of your business.

Emerging Hyper-connected World of Mobile, Social, Cloud, Data and IoT

There will be 100 billion connected devices expected by 2025, leading to a trillion sensor ecosystem. 1 billion digital natives expected to join the workforce over the next 7 years.  In a hyper-connected era of mobile, social, cloud, big data, and the Internet of Things, future business models will depend on the availability of more data flowing through more systems, being accessed and used by more people

A Primary Strategy and Tactical Challenge For Business Going Forward

Formulating end-to-end digital strategies, leading the activation of new product/service solution road maps, designing new customer experiences and business models, and championing digital business transformation inside companies and within customer organizations will be a primary strategic and tactical challenge.  Thoughtful organic and inorganic strategy, and well-led product innovation, user experience, and evolution of existing assets and intellectual property will be key to a positive goal-directed digital transformation capable of contributing to significant growth and value creation. 

The journey to the new connected data-driven business is a complex one. Difficult to get right, but important to do. Done right, connected data-driven business and product transformation offers significant opportunities for renewal, growth, and enterprise value creation. Done wrong, business and product transformation can place companies into Sisyphus-like business model design and revision cycles, or can add their products to the same junk pile of history that one finds Google Glass. Get it right, your company and your future depends on it.

Internet of Things and Enterprise Value

Is Your IoT Innovation Failing The Value Creation Test?

A fundamental value creation challenge is finding innovation that changes the basis of competition and creates structural advantages that, in turn, creates sustained enterprise value.  Even the most creative business ideas can fail this value creation test when the innovation discussion centers solely on creating value through operational process, products, services or market innovation.

A study by the IBM CEO Report  explored how firms distribute their innovation efforts. While most businesses applied some effort into innovating across the board, business model innovation received the least attention.

 

However, Companies focused on business model innovation delivered 5% higher five year compound annual growth rates. While businesses focused on product/service/market innovation saw only slight growth.  Those primarily applying process innovation were actually worse off. 

 

 

Technology is changing the basis of competitive advantage. Whereas it may have taken 18 months for a competitor to copy a new product or service in the past, the time is down to 6 months or less in many sectors.

Formulating value creating Internet of Things-based business strategies, leading the activation of new product/service solution roadmaps, designing new customer experiences and business models, and championing digital business transformation inside companies and within customer organizations will be a primary strategic and tactical challenge for most companies going forward. 

A thoughtfully planned and well executed Internet of Things customer experience-driven business model innovation changes the basis of competition and creates sustainable structural advantages that can take even the best "fast follower" several years to emulate.

The Internet of Things Business Transformation

 

Internet of Things is blurring the lines between technology and non-technology companies and industries. 

Technology and market changes, innovation and disruption experienced in recent years is rapidly accelerating meaning old playbooks for growth can't be counted on to deliver the way they once did.

Key questions business leaders need to ask...

• Are there key Internet of Things opportunities you are missing in your industry and markets?
• Are there Internet of Things innovations and changes that might disrupt your future growth?
• Does it feel that the intensity of Internet of Things disruption is increasing?
• While things are good now, are you concerned about being able to have the momentum going forward to bring you to the next level without Internet of Things?

When the answer is "yes," it would be valuable for the management team to take the time to take a fresh look at their business growth, value creation, and business transformation strategies.

Key actions business leaders need to take...

• Gain ongoing insight needed to take preemptive actions and tilt Internet of Things growth in your  favor.

• Innovate and execute Internet of Things strategies, business models and user experiences to change your basis of  competition and accelerate opportunities for growth and value creation.

• Succeed at proactive M&A and alliances. Carefully align and integrate your Internet of Things inorganic strategy, candidate targeting, diligence and integration.

• Build go-to-market approaches and digital ecosystem partner expansion that drives penetration and revenues up and incremental expenses down. 

• Evolve existing assets and intellectual property, and foster change and business transformation to make the new growth ongoing and repeatable.
