Share It (Data) and They Will Come: Crowdsourced Citywide IoT Network
I haven’t been as excited about anything for a long time as I am about a global revolution that began last week in Amsterdam!
Cities are rapidly becoming the very visible and innovative laboratories for IoT innovation, which is logical, because they’ve been in the forefront of open data — as I saw first-hand when I […]
#IoT ESSENTIAL TRUTHS: IF REAL-TIME DATA WAS SHARED MH370 MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED!
Pardon me for “shouting” in this headline, but I just had a stark realization that if one of my Internet of Things Essential Truths had been practiced by Rolls-Royce and Malaysia Air, Flight 370 might have been saved:
We have to start asking, where are there situations where real-time data from a variety of sources could help […]
Meeting Usman Haque: a shared vision for the IoT
We had our second successful Boston/New England IoT Meetup last night, with some great speakers (more about them later). Thanks to my co-organizer, Chris Rezendes of INEX Advisors, for putting together a great program!
For me, the high point was getting to meet one of the IoT’s real pioneers: Usman Haque, who created Pachube, now Cosm, […]
Will some smart home device makers ever grow souls??
(Please cut me a little slack on this post, dripping with sarcasm: these latest examples of some smart home device makers’ contempt/obliviousness toward customers’ privacy and security shoved me over the edge!).
Once upon a time two smart boys in their dorm room thought up a new service that really made a new technology hum. When […]
Digital Twins: Could They Have Uncovered the Boeing 737 Problems Sooner? — and how might they benefit your company
Tragically, the Boeing 737-Max includes an Internet of Things technology — the “digital twin” — that might have avoided the current tragedies, if only its use had been extended from the engines to the entire plane’s operations. Even if your products don’t involve such high stakes as a jet plane does, your company should seriously […]
No more excuses for companies to delay IoT strategies!
Just came across a report from the World Economic Forum late last year that undermines management’s defense that ignorance is bliss when it comes to the IoT.
Titled “Europe, Asia Lead the Way to the Factories of the Future,” (um, aside to US manufacturers: see any cause for concern in this headline?) it was the result […]
IoT-based “Regulation 3.0” Might Have Avoided Merrimack Valley Tragedies
Pardon me: this is a very personal post.
For about an hour Thursday night we didn’t know whether my son’s home in Lawrence was one of those blown up by the gasline explosions (fortunately, he and his dear family were never at risk — they’re living in Bolivia for two years — but the house was right […]

Huzzah!
On August 7th, HarperCollins’ new Leadership imprint (formerly Amacom) will publish The Future Is Smart, my guide to IoT strategy for businesses and the general public. BTW: write me if you’d like to arrange a speaking engagement/book signing event!
As part of the build-up to the release, here’s another excerpt from the book, drawn from Chapter […]
Live Blogging #LlveWorx ’18, Day 2
Aiden Quilligan, Accenture Industry X.0, on AI:
Mindset and AI: must undo what Hollywood has done on this over years, pose it as human vs. machine.
We think it should be human PLUS machine.
he’s never seen anything move as fast as AI, especially in robotics
now, co-bots that work along side us
exoskeletons
what do we mean by AI? Machine […]
Wahoo! Liveblogging #Liveworx ’18!
Always my fav event, I’ll be liveblogging #LiveWorx ’18. Stay tuned!
Keynote: Jim Heppelmann:
“from a place to a pace” — how fast are we moving?
no longer OK to think of a future destination, builds inertia (“your main competitor”). Disruption may have already happened. Hard to sustain advantage due to pace of change. Must “embrace a pace […]
