IoT - Wardley Maps WAR strategy

This conversation starts from Chapter 9, of WardleyMaps where it might be useful to use a map to look at the influences of predictability on a specific topic.

The next weak signal leading to predictability from Figure 106, future points of war, is what I'm looking at for Internet of Things (IOT).

I'm using a map that I've been toying with for a while.  The concept is relatively straight forward, what actions will lead to the industrialization of IoT?

We'll first start with what the map looks like for one aspect of IoT, I'm choosing data presented of some value to the user.

The second thing we should discuss is where value is derived.  Arguably, value is different to different people.  From an IoT customer's perspective, the value of the Visualization is far more visible than that of Power, Data Center or the computers it houses.

Therefore, if you're building IoT capability, the areas in the upper left are the areas you're going to want to invest in.  A simple representation of this idea on a Wardley Map looks like Figure 2.

  The third area leads directly to pace, derived somewhat from Figure 2 and relevant because areas of attack should be at the pace required by the results.  Basically, don't lay siege to an entrenched industry, find the weak points for quick wins.

The concept is relatively simple.  Do you attack an IoT investment area in a Lean/6-Sigma area, that is already well entrenched and likely not to change rapidly, Figure 4

 Or, do you attack an IoT investment that is in a rapidly changing area where it's using something like Agile Methods.  An area where the feedback to new method/enhancement/capability can be established in a very rapid method and is likely familiar to newer companies/organizations.  Figure 5.

With that perspective, the WAR over IoT will be conducted, in general, in this area.  Figure 6.
