Companies are looking at the Internet of Things as a powerful trend that can fuel new revenue opportunities. They see it as an opportunity to leap-frog the competition and significantly grow their revenues. And yet, many companies are failing and growing disillusioned. So how can Product Leaders leverage IoT to discover product opportunities that can take their company to the next level? This is where Design Thinking can help.
In this post, I look at proven Product Management techniques to get a deep understanding of your customer’s problems and then explore how IoT can help you build products that address those needs and are profitable for your company.

Learning to unlearn is a critical skill any innovator should have.
Unlearning, at its core, means having the foresight to use the experience you’ve acquired in the past, while at the same time letting go of ideas that might not be relevant anymore.

A few months back, I had the opportunity to interview Barry in my IoT Product Leadership podcast. I learned a lot in that discussion, and it continues to be one of my favorite episodes.
That’s why I was so excited when Barry invited me to be a guest in his popular Unlearn podcast. In this episode, we had a very candid conversation on the challenges corporate innovators face when driving new concepts in their company.
