Have you ever noticed that every promising new technology gets massive hype… only to disappear, often for years, before it actually starts changing the world?

To understand why, you need to understand the IoT technology hype cycle.

And once you do, you’ll see IoT in a completely different light.

In this episode, we speak with Leonard Lee, Managing Director and Founder of Next Curve, who explains what the hype cycle is and what it means for IoT.

We discuss:

• The stages of the hype cycle
• How organizations can find opportunities in every stage of the hype cycle
• Why IoT is in the “Trough of Disillusionment” — and why that’s not necessarily a bad thing
