Successful IoT Projects Begin with Knowledge & Skills

Successful IoT Projects Begin with Knowledge & Skills

Session Abstract:

According to a recent Cisco IoT Survey, 60% of respondents said that IoT initiatives appeared good on paper but were much more difficult to implement than expected. Although seemingly most IT projects incur similar challenges IoT, still an emerging technology, has the added uncertainty of the unknown. In this session we will describe why it is essential for all IoT team members from the C-suite through technical practitioners require specific knowledge and skills to help ensure the success of their projects. We will also explore how micro-credentials and certifications assist organizations in validating the knowledge needed for identified job roles.

Outcomes: The expected outcomes from this presentation is as follows:

  • Understand the need for business stakeholders and project managers to possess fundamental IoT knowledge
  • How validating skills and knowledge of IoT Professionals assists in successful project implementations
  • Why reskilling is the new norm to both retain employees while also preparing them for the next project
