IoT Toolkit

Save time, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical IoT Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step work plans and maturity diagnostics for any IoT related project.

Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated IoT specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the IoT Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 994 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which IoT improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 994 standard requirements:


1. How can security measures be applied in IoT devices to protect identity, privacy, and security of the system, given that the devices environment and resources may be constrained?
   
   

2. What is your process for ensuring the software on your IoT devices that are connected to your system, either permanently or intermittently, is maintained and updated?
   
   

3. Can your network support next generation applications and securely leverage edge, IoT and advanced analytics to support your growing organization?
   
   

4. How can disparate IoT system elements that need to connect to an enterprise network – and sometimes to another enterprises network – be secured?
   
   

5. What measures can be taken to prevent compromise and protect the integrity and privacy of IoT systems, applications, platforms, and services?
   
   

6. Do you use IoT sensors and artificial intelligence to monitor products to optimize performance, and recommend repairs before costly failures?
   
   

7. Are you eager to take advantage of AI technologies to introduce new services and to enhance insights from organization data?
   
   

8. How secure is your existing network and what additional security is required to support your IoT applications/processes?
   
   

9. Will the need for datacenter capacity for edge computing and the Internet of Things lead to new datacenter form factors?
   
   

10. Do you currently use IoT technologies or solutions as part of your manufacturing, logistics, or supply chain processes?

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy

The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage IoT projects with the 62 implementation resources:


• 62 step-by-step IoT Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 IoT project requirements and success criteria:


Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:


1. Team Operating Agreement: What are the boundaries (organizational or geographic) within which you operate?
   
   

2. Procurement Audit: Are purchase requisitions used to generate purchase orders?
   
   

3. Initiating Process Group: Are there resources to maintain and support the outcome of the IoT project?
   
   

4. Procurement Audit: Does your organization have an administrative timetable to assist the staff in implementing the budget calendar?
   
   

5. WBS Dictionary: Wbs elements contractually specified for reporting of status to you (lowest level only)?
   
   

6. Roles and Responsibilities: Authority: what areas/IoT projects in your work do you have the authority to decide upon and act on the already stated decisions?
   
   

7. Team Directory: Decisions: what could be done better to improve the quality of the constructed product?
   
   

8. Human Resource Management Plan: Does the business case include how the IoT project aligns with your organizations strategic goals & objectives?
   
   

9. Activity Duration Estimates: If IoT project time and cost are not as important as the number of resources used each month, which is the BEST thing to do?
   
   

10. Project Performance Report: To what degree does the teams purpose contain themes that are particularly meaningful and memorable?

Results

With this Three Step process you will have all the tools you need for any IoT project with this in-depth IoT Toolkit.

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose IoT projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in IoT and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make IoT investments work better.

This IoT All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
