IoT 2020: Trends and Challenges TechNative

However, a recent McKinsey study, What separates leaders from laggards in the Internet of Things, found that only around one sixth of the world's largest companies adopting IoT are seeing any kind of significant return on investment. New trends and business models are emerging, and the way we plan, envision, and discuss the IoT will likely change in 2019. Sensor data is a core component of IoT technology, but most sensors in use today monitor machinery or tech infrastructure. Throughout 2019, employees can be expected to interact more with IoT technology. Performance management software has long played a role in the workplace, and the IoT can enable more comprehensive data gathering and better analysis of employee performance.
