According to the 2017 Gartner Hype Cycle, many emerging technologies linked to IoT like machine learning, cognitive computing and IoT platforms find themselves in the "peak of inflated expectations" phase. At such an inflexion point, it is vital to accurately evaluate the promise these technologies hold for us. 

In the first part of the very first episode of this exciting new series, Mike Dolbec, Managing Director of venture investments and M&A at GE Digital has a candid discussion about edge computing, blockchain and other nascent technologies in the Industrial IoT space.

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.

However, the digital transformtion race is a competitive one and many firms are finding themselves on the losing end of this race.
