9:35am - Presentation 2:  Underpants Gnomes Economics and IoT Data Value: What to in Phase 2?

A classic episode of South Park called "Gnomes" sets the economic view of the world for IoT that many of us have experienced with connected products.

Phase 1: Connect Product

Phase 2: ?

Phase 3: Profit!

When companies are asked, what is the question mark in phase 2 and how they get from connecting their products to profits, there is often no clear answer.

In this session we will explore how the economic view of the Underpants Gnomes from South Park can be applied to the current state of IoT data value. Starting with collecting data in Phase 1, we will work through go to market in Phase 2 and how data utilization leads to the much sought after reward of profit in Phase 3.

Enjoy crude cartoon humor applied to real world technology business struggles to teach an important lesson in the art of economics.

We also believe if our companies and their employees are to continue to stay and grow here, and if new companies are going to be built here, we need to promote Wisconsin and the Midwest as the epicenter for IoT. We drive technological advancement in the region, so the world knows that you build it in the Midwest if you want to succeed in the Internet of Things evolution.
