What are the differences between Greenfield and Brownfield IoT deployment environments in terms of security? How does security relate to trustworthiness? What are the best practices for IoT deployments?

Sven Schrecker explains to us the IIC view on system security and why the trustworthiness of a system matters.

Sven Schrecker is the chief architect of IoT security solutions at Intel. Sven is also the co-chair of the IIC Security Working Group, co-chair of the IIC JTG5 Security Team and a member of the Industrial Internet Consortium Steering Committee.

How can the IIC business strategy and solutions lifecycle task group help to de-risk the adoption of IoT in enterprises? What is the framework for understanding IoT in the context of business transformation? What is the real impact of IoT that forecasts are unable to capture? What is the impact of the IoT platforms market on the acceleration of IoT adoption? 

The adoption of IoT is not a step into the unknown; it has been diagnosed and has an envelope around it. Putting together 10 years of software, 10 years of hardware, and 10 years of communications experience, the IIC business strategy & innovation framework allows project managers and executives to understand and manage the scope of the challenges that come with implementing IoT in traditional organisations. 

Jim also discusses the real impact of IoT in the economy beyond predictions of devices and market value, and how to develop internal capabilities to harness the power of IoT in an organisation. We also look into the IoT platform market as an accelerator for adoption and scale, and discuss the future of this highly dynamic market.

One of the biggest challenges still standng in the way of mass adoption of Industrial IoT solutions are the knowledge gaps that exist in the ecosystem. Bridging these gaps is a monumental task due to the mere complexity of the technology and the unconventional value chains that drive the Industrial IoT market.

In the third installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, we are pleased to have Derek Kerton, Managing Director of the Kerton Group with us to discuss how end users can still drive innovation despite of the very challenging prevailing market conditions. 

Never has there been a trend in recent times that has been reshaping the industrial world quite as much as digitalization. and as such many firms have embarked on a digitalization strategy of their own. However, the digital transformtion race is a competitive one and many firms are finding themselves on the losing end of this race. 

In the fourth installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, we welcome back Michael Dolbec, Managing Director of venture investments and M&A at GE Digital who will be discussing with us how firms can better prepare themselves to overcome bottlenecks in the process and set themselves up for success. 

Despite of its potential to revolutionize industry and solve a lot of the world's biggest problems, IoT is still a very niche area and has even garnered a reputation of being somewhat nebulous at times. This has proven to be a nightmare for many product development managers who want to devise a cohesive IoT product strategy.

In the fifth installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, we get back to basics with TechProductManagement's Daniel Elizalde. Daniel is the creator of the IoT Decision Framework which helps product leaders make informed decisions about adding digital value to their products in an intuitive step-by-step manner.

Far from being merely an isolated one-off event, digital transformation needs to be seen as a journey - a long and intensive one. 

In the sixth installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, we are pleased to have with us Maciej Kranz, VP of corporate strategic innovation at Cisco Systems and author of the book "Building the Internet of Things: Implement New Business Models, Disrupt Competitors, Transform Your Industry" on the show to share with us more about some of the insights in his book and other advice on how firms can successfully embark and sustain their digitalization journey.   

The Industrial IoT ecosystem globally is comprised of hundreds of organizations, standards bodies and consortia all working together to better serve end users and drive adoption of the Industrial IoT. Having said that, startups need to evaluate for themselves if it is more meaningful for them to join a standards body or just work directly with a particular company such as GE. 

In the seventh installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, Michael Dolbec, Managing Director of venture investments and M&A at GE Digital is back in the third and final part of his discussion with us on how GE is not just financing but also providing strategic direction as well as ecosystem support to startups.  

Many consumer-facing startups like Tinder and Snapchat soak up all the publicity and media attention while many of the Industrial startups that are truly transforming our world are deemed not "sexy" and fall under the radar. As a result, many of these startups also do not receive adequate support from corporate investors and venture capital firms that are critical to growing their businesses. 

In the eighth installment of the  "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, we are excited to have with us Ravi Belani, Managing Partner of Alchemist Accelerator who will be sharing with us about how his accelerator works with the companies in their portfolio and with corporates to develop the competence of these "unsexy" startups through collaboration. 

What does adopting an IoT perspective mean to you? With a concept as broad and with as many ecosystem players as the IoT, this is a question that is likely to get you a range of answers depending on whether you talk to a technologist, an executive staff or an academic.   

In the ninth installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, be prepared for a highly dynamic discussion with Tim Chou, Executive Chairman of Lecida and author of the book, "Precision: Principles, Practices and Solutions for the Internet of Things" to share with us more on what he thinks adopting an IoT perspective really means to a firm and how it can impact the way it does business. 

It is conventional wisdom that the way tech startups operate is fundamentally different from traditional companies. As technopreneurs in the Industrial IoT space, it is vital that you are aware of the reasons behind this difference when dealing with clients coming from traditional industries or vice versa so that you can approach these business dealings in a more strategic manner.  

In the tenth and final installment of the "Ventures in Industrial IoT series" brought to you by GE Ventures, Ariel Stern talks to us about how the gap between tech and traditional companies can be bridged, drawing from the deep knowledge and experience he has accumulated at the helm of his own tech startup, Ayyeka.
