The Internet of Things refers to the networking of physical objects through the use of embedded sensors, actuators, and other devices that can collect or transmit information about the objects. The data amassed from these devices can then be analyzed to optimize products, services, and operations. During this session, participants will understand how the industrial adoption of the Internet of Things will drastically change every market vertical and disrupt current roles within enterprises and creating new roles and career opportunities. At the end of this seminar, participants will exit this seminar with the following knowledge: a. A clear understanding of the Industrial Internet of Things and why it is an important market trend to follow. b. The changes and disruptions that IoT will bring to every industry and market vertical. c. The career and revenue opportunities that will be introduced through IoT global adoption.

7. IIoT Needs STEM Professionals
• IIoT is the pathway to Machine Learning and Artificial
Intelligence
• IIoT will draw from every existing STEM discipline to
drive digital innovation and commercialization
• Automation will be a disruptive factor to global workforce
• Machine learning will amplify this disruption
• Siloed organizational roles will become more cross
functional by practice and then eventually by definition

8. What is Driving IIoT Adoption?
• IIoT is the bridge between our physical world and digitized
world (Digital Twin Theory)
• IIoT unlocks access to data that has not been available
through legacy technologies
• IIoT is business strategy and technology become tightly
coupled
• The need for unsupervised machine learning
• The future ’Single Source of Truth”

9. Market Disruption – The Good, the Bad and
the Ugly
 Disruption is primarily driven by vision and
innovation
 Disruption is positive when it can be leveraged
strategically by organizations to increase revenue
and competitive advantage in a given market
sector or vertical
 Disruption can be a threat when risk adversity is
the higher priority of an organization
 Disruption can be devastating to slow adopters of
the innovation it delivers to a market

10. Embrace Disruption – It’s the Pathway to
Professional Development
 Challenge yourself to add a cross-disciplinary
strategy to your career development
 Analyze your work place, learning experiences
and culture for insights into how IIoT can be
leveraged to your organization’s advantage
 Be apart of the innovation eco system. Join
advanced organizations an participate in
technology adoption standards
 Embrace Life Long Learning as a personal
philosophy– continuously asking how can data
provide insight?

Just like in the smartphone industry, the amount of devices shipped is the
outcome, not the driving force of the market. Just like in mobile, the value
will come from an army of Internet of Things entrepreneurs addressing
thousands of user needs. If developers and entrepreneurs adopt IoT
technology as swiftly as they did Android and iOS, there will be well over 4
million IoT innovators at work by the end of this decade. Think about how
much demand they could create for the Internet of Things industry.
In this paper, we show that the wheels are already in motion. Forward-
looking companies are basing their strategies on building communities of
Internet of Things entrepreneurs. We also show how you can not only build
such communities, but turn them into a profitable business with developer-
centric business models.
