The Internet of Things industry has grown exponentially in the last few years. Starting as a spark, it has spread across industries as a single flame can quickly grow and consume a dry prairie. With any new industry a list of keywords, some weighing more than others, begins to grow. In IoT such words as monetization, analytics, efficiency, and security, garner a staggering amount of heft, but what of talent? In a recent article from The Economist, Exosite's CTO Mark Benson is used in reference to defining just how important finding the right talent will be as more companies take on IoT.

The article discusses important points regarding IoT talent, including:

  • Talent is needed to turn IoT potential into reality
  • Existing opportunities are often siloed
  • Creating a hybrid employee
  • Demand vs. supply of the workforce
  • Complete business transformation
  • Building off the current or hiring new
