My name is Scott Shagory and I am the founder of this blog focused on business strategy and the Internet of Things (IoT). I have been in the technology space for more than 16 years and have a real passion for strategy. I find the IoT domain fascinating because its complexity and multi-dimensional nature requires firms and other stakeholders be clear about how they are differentiating themselves and competing in a rapidly changing industry.
The focus of this blog will be how business strategy drives IoT innovation and helps firms find clarity in a noise filled, fluid marketplace. There are many other IoT blogs, but none of them focus exclusively on the IoT space through a strategy lens. Instead, their conversations are driven predominantly by technology. Technology discussions will certainly play an important role here. However, in my view, too many IoT conversations take place in a business vacuum.
My essential goal with this blog will be to share insights on strategy with a wide variety of people interested in the IoT space. Communication will be in plain language as both IoT and strategy share a propensity for specialized verbiage that curbs discussion and engagement. Discussing topics simply and succinctly is a clear sign of understanding.
