What IoT designers consistently miss about the human element
The Biggest IoT Problem Isn’t Technical
Walk into almost any digital transformation programme involving IoT and you'll hear familiar conversations.
Teams debate cloud architecture. They discuss edge computing strategies. They compare connectivity protocols, security frameworks, data platforms, and AI capabilities.
These conversations matter. Connected ecosystems depend on robust technology foundations.
But after spending years working across digital transformation initiatives, service design programmes, and product delivery teams, I've noticed something interesting.
