Peter Bourne, CEO of Bright Wolf, shares excellent insights on how Industrial firms can leverage IoT to create valuable outcomes, and the role Product Managers play in supporting companies through their digital transformation. Topics we discuss in this episode: Peter shares his background and about Bright Wolf. Key benefits IoT brings to industrial companies. The biggest challenges industrial companies face as they start embracing IoT. How Industrial IoT is a progression of business outcomes. How to adopt system agility and an open system approach. Building vs buying your IoT infrastructure. Advice for PMs and business leaders who are new at developing enterprise and industrial IoT solutions. Resources we mention in the episode: Why IoT Innovation Labs Are Doomed Many companies create “Innovation Labs” to generate IoT platforms for their enterprise. Few IoT systems are ever delivered by these centralized teams. IoT systems aren’t something you connect to your products – IoT systems *are* your product. The experience and business model require more than a central innovation group can deliver. Here’s why. Digital Transformation and Industrial IoT on Google Cloud Platform Successful digital transformation requires connected product solutions delivering agility and control. An Open System approach to IoT provides the agility to leverage best of breed tools and integrate with your existing enterprise systems, and the control over your data to ensure maximum future value. An Open System architecture powered by GCP infrastructure enables your IoT solution to flexibly evolve over time as new devices, business models, and technologies create opportunities for your enterprise and your customers.
