How to Build Sustainable IoT Products
Sustainable IoT products continue to gain traction in the minds of top technology executives. And yet, very few companies have a clear understanding of how to incorporate sustainability into their product strategy—creating a big challenge and a great opportunity for Product Leaders. In this post I outline a comprehensive approach for incorporating sustainability into your IoT product.
Top IoT Challenges Product Leaders Face in 2020
What are the top IoT challenges Product Leaders face in 2020? To find out, I conducted a survey to hear directly from Product Leaders. In this post, I share the answers to the survey, as well as the insights I gathered throughout the process.
The 5 Layers of the IoT Technology Stack
In this post, I describe the 5 layers of the IoT technology stack and how Product Managers can incorporate them into their product strategy and roadmap.
What is an IoT Platform? (And How to Choose One)
An IoT platform is an integral part of any IoT product. It can help you accelerate your time-to-market, minimize risk, reduce development cost, and help you arrive at product-market fit faster.
The Product Experience – Zen and the Art of IoT Product Management
I had the opportunity to be a guest in the Product Experience podcast by Mind the Product, and I’d like to share that interview with you.
This was a particularly exciting episode for me since I’ve had a long history of collaboration with Mind the Product.
In case you don’t know about MTP (and you should), they are the top organization pushing forward the Product Management profession around the world.
They run several big conferences around the world, host monthly ProductTank meetups around the world, and publish one of the top PM blogs around.
I’ve known MTP for a long time. I used to run the San Francisco ProductTank for some time, I’ve taught IoT workshops at their San Francisco and London conferences, and I’ve been featured in their blog many times. I consider them my PM family.
The team at MTP recently launched their new podcast: The Product Experience, and as you can imagine, I was very excited to participate.
Listen to the interview: Zen and the Art of IoT Product Management
In this interview, I talk about the complexities of managing IoT products, including the skills you need and the different perspectives PMs need to consider when they work for a startup vs. a big enterprise.
Here’s what you will learn in this interview
- What is IoT Product Management, and how is it different from managing other types of products?
- What areas does an IoT PM need to consider?
- What about ethics and security in IoT?
- How is the role of a PM vs. head of Products different in IoT?
- How is decision making different in startups vs. big companies?
- Is IoT just hype (or what does the current adoption look like)?
- What does IoT mean for the future of Product Management
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
How IoT Can Help Fight Climate Change
I believe IoT can help fight Climate Change. Unfortunately, many people only associate IoT with “convenience products” that don’t add a lot of value, such as smart toasters. (Just in case you were wondering why I’m on stage with images of big toasters) =)
As our population grows to 9.8 billion people by 2050, we will continue to strain the planet’s resources to produce enough electricity, food, and water. At the same time, consuming all these additional resources will continue to amplify our Climate Change crisis in a dangerous cycle.
As IoT Product Leaders, we need to help change the narrative and spread the word on how, exactly, IoT can be part of the solution. Not only how IoT can help fight Climate Change, but also how it can generate new sources of revenue for our companies in the process.
I want to share with you my keynote at InfoShare, the biggest technology conference in Central and Eastern Europe. The theme of my keynote is: how companies are using the IoT to fight Climate Change.
In this talk, I describe the role of IoT on curbing carbon emissions, and I include specific examples of how companies can leverage IoT throughout the energy generation and consumption lifecycle. In the talk, I focus on energy, but you can extrapolate the same ideas to agriculture, healthcare, transportation, etc.
Many Product leaders are concerned about this challenge, but they are not sure how they can contribute. They think that to help fight Climate Change; they need to build products that directly tackle the problem, such as solar panels or wind turbines.
But the reality is that there are many different ways for us to help. Listen to the talk to learn more.
I know we can’t solve Climate Change with technology alone, but technology does play an important role. And hence, working on IoT is my way to be part of the solution.
Climate Change is the biggest challenge of our generation. We need everybody’s talent working together to stand a chance. I invite you to get involved.
How will you use your talents to fight Climate Change AND increase opportunities for your company? Leave me a message below. I’d love to hear from you.
