There’s a lot of talk right now about the Internet of Things and how it’s likely the prime catalyst for the digital transformation of organizations over the next few years. Billions of sensors, and devices with sensors, all generating data in a hyper-connected world where it can be easily shared or transmitted – what could possibly go wrong?

During my discussions there are a couple of things that I am observing, that I wanted to share with you, since it seems there are different types of innovation labs in organizations:
