Strategy-IoT: Who I Am
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.
In time, I hope to include interviews with industry leaders where they share their challenges, views, and insights on the IoT space and how they are creating enduring positions of competitive advantage.
Welcome to the blog and I look forward to your comments and insights!
