  Connectivity for telco IoT / M2M: Are LPWAN & WiFi strategically important?

It’s reasonably clear that standard cellular networks will only carry a fraction of the data of the Internet of Things (IoT), but how should telcos be involved in the fast growing range of low cost, disruptive networks that will carry the bulk? We examine the alternatives and outline strategic options. (January 2016, Future of the Network Stream)

  IoT Rapid Impact Programme: Stay Ahead in the Emerging Internet of Things
The much-hyped Internet of Things (IoT) has significant growth potential with many predicting billions of connected devices by 2020. But how real is the opportunity, and how do you capitalise on it? To date, most companies have focused on tactical M2M services, rather than strategic IoT opportunities which emphasise data sharing and interoperability. STL Partners has tailored a Rapid Impact Programme to demystify these opportunities and ensure you stay ahead of the game.
  The Internet of Things: Impact on M2M, where it’s going, and what to do about it?

A high-level analysis of the M2M market, including the strategies of Vodafone, AT&T and Telefonica, and the impact that the Internet of Things and new entrants such as Google and others will have with new business models. What are the implications for operators, and where is it all leading? (March 2015, Executive Briefing Service)

  Connected Car: Key Trends, Players and Battlegrounds

Connected cars are set to revolutionise the automotive industry as we know it, turning the car into the ‘ultimate mobile device’ and driving the growth of M2M in a big way. With Apple, Google, telcos and many others in the chase, we analyse the growth drivers, value chain, and key battles for control of this increasingly complex ecosystem, and outline a new connected car services framework. (September 2014, Executive Briefing Service, Dealing with Disruption Stream.)

  Connected Home: Telcos vs Google (Nest, Apple, Samsung, +…)

Since Google acquired Nest for $3.2bn, Apple and Samsung have also entered the complex battle for the connected home. We analyse in-depth why Google wanted Nest, the players’ goals and strategies, and what should telcos and others do to stay in the game? (August 2014, Executive Briefing Service, Dealing with Disruption Stream.)

  The Internet of Things (IoT): What's Hot, and How?
‘The Internet of Things’ (IoT) is one of the big ideas of the moment. But what are the areas in which value is being created now, and what is still technological hype? A summary of the findings of the Digital Things session at the NDE Executive Brainstorm, Silicon Valley, held at the InterContinental Hotel, San Francisco on the 20th March 2013. (April 2013)

  The Great Compression: surviving the 'Digital Hunger Gap'
In the next 10 years, many industries face the 'Great Compression' in which, in addition to the pressures of ongoing global economic uncertainty, there is also a major digital transformation that is destroying traditional value and moving it 'disruptively' to new areas and geographies. For the incumbent industry players we call the near-term results of this disruption 'The Digital Hunger Gap' – the widening deficit between past and projected revenues. This is our analysis of the top-level findings of the Silicon Valley Executive Brainstorm. (March 2013, Executive Briefing Service, Transformation Stream.)
