Strategy & Ideation

Sharpen your IoT strategy as the foundation for the commercial success

What can I expect

A Strategy & Ideation workshop using the Design Thinking method.
We offer 5 days including preparation and post-work based on a fixed price contract.

The collaborative workshop starts with understanding the problems and desires to derive solution options that focus on a prioritised action plan.

Our experts will help you better understand your key and critical challenges to define a clear IoT strategy and expected value of your IoT solution. We develop an initial change management plan.

The planned solution will align with your IoT business goals. Together, we define ideas where IoT and AI come together to multiply business value.

How does it work?

  1. Preparation Phase - Understanding the problem space ( 2 days)
    A remote analysis phase is carried out in preparation for the workshop. Using guided focus interviews with key stakeholders as a systematic approach, we analyse the strategic objectives, the operational reality and the supporting IT enablers in a top-down and bottom-up approach. The aim is to understand the current IoT situation and existing activities/initiatives. Preparation of risk and pain points for the on-site workshop.

  2. Strategy & Ideation Main Onsite Workshop (2 days)

    • Aligning on/Defining the challenge: Review and clarification of risks and pain points. Fit-gap analysis of strategic direction and operational reality. Prioritize and reframe strategic problems/challenges to focus on during the next phase.
    • Ideating on strategic possibilities: Using the inputs from the previous phases, the workshop participants will start ideating on potential IoT solutions to answer/tackle the strategic challenge. Step-by-Step we will brainstorm on ideas for solution sketches covering possible IoT products and services.
    • Validating the top strategic possibilities: Define top voted/most promising solution sketches to solve the key strategic challenge
    • Cluster and prioritize follow up action items about what’s actually needed to activate the final strategic possibility

  3. Post Work (1 day) The results of the workshop are summarised. The deliverable is the prioritised, pre-validated strategy by the participants, including a short, medium and long-term action plan for activating the IoT strategy and solution.
