LEARN HOW TO DESIGN SMART PRODUCTS, SMART OPERATIONS AND SMART BUSINESS MODELS WITH THE ICIP TRAINING PROGRAM

The underpinning of every smart digital transformation is the Internet of Things.

IoT is deployed to capture and analyze proprietary customer data, operational data and monetization data to create value. Smart product value from increased innovation and invention. Smart operational value from increased efficiency and asset utilization. And smart business model value from reduced monetization friction.

IoT’s biggest challenge isn’t standards or security. The #1 challenge in IoT today is how and where to invest in the tech to yield a positive ROI. That’s the purpose of this program: training professionals to use IoT to create value.

The ICIP training program is unique in that it is for managers and leaders, and aspiring managers and leaders. It’s delivered through three complete courses: ICIP Technology, ICIP Business and ICIP Strategy & Execution, that combined consist of 45 modules with 163 lessons and 28 quizzes, reinforced with a final certification exam.

You’ll learn the key concepts and principles required to design smart products, architect smart operations and deploy smart business models. You’ll be exposed to a wide variety of case studies as well as clear and easy to follow frameworks that leave nothing out so you can fully implement your smart digital transformations based on IoT.

And our 30-day, money-back guarantee mitigates your risk.
