Interviews with PMO and Project Management Leaders, who, through years of trial and error, have discovered their own Great Practices and are now sharing their insights with you!

    Ep. 50 - 5 Steps to Implement a Successful IoT Project with Tom Clement

    In this episode of Great Practices, wait, wait, wait what am I doing? This is a very different episode of Great Practices for two reasons. First, it marks my 50th episode of talking with great PMO Leaders, project and program managers and industry leaders who have shared their insights and great practices over the past four years. Second, this is the first episode where I’ve been asked to be the guest podcaster at an industry event, the IoT Innovation Summit. OpenText hosted this virtual conference that focused on predictive power and AI Operations. I was asked to interview Tom Clement who is OpenText’s Vice President of IoT Solutions. The following episode is a recording of that conversation. You’ll hear about the problems companies experience when it comes to an IoT deployment, 5 Great Practices Tom has developed to ensure it’s successful, and the biggest mistake people make that can be avoided. Plus, you’ll learn the secret of how to become a triple-crown guest on Great Practices. I hope you enjoy the episode. Want to get in touch with Tom?  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ptcii/
