All emerging technologies are discussed and analysed mainly by tech related professionals, but what about the business professionals? This article is focusing on IoT from the aspect of the business professionals regarding understanding, collaboration and personal development. I discuss about the knowledge gap that I have noticed between new technologies and business experts, how the MBA students in my IoT course managed to bridge this gap and how organisations and employees can approach the challenge (or opportunity) of leveraging the capabilities of the Internet of Things, AI, VR, AR, Blockchain and other emerging technologies.
