HR has to enable the workforce to drive innovation. Don’t look at IoT, like it’s magic. It’s science that you can use to improve the way you work. And you will generate a competitive edge while doing it.
Craig Stark's insight:
IoT brings many opportunities to existing companies. The HR department can certainly benefit from data and new operations in support of building efficiency into the workplace.
I have a hard time visualizing HR people driving the cause initially though. HR does not typically drive strategic initiatives, especially when they are manifested in IT's domain first.
I can see startups offering a methodology and tool kit approach to simplifying this process long before HR could become self sufficient.
If HR becomes the "disrupt or be disrupted" owner of this strategy then many companies will die in the near future since CEO's will lose leadership capacity.
