IoT adoption requires coordinated public-private-government funding strategy

Sundaram argues that IoT adoption in the U.S. cannot succeed through market forces or government action alone, but requires deliberate coordination of funding and oversight across public, private, and federal entities working in sustained partnership. This tri-sector approach is not optional optimization—it is structurally necessary for achieving widespread deployment.

    What sparked your research into disruptive innovation?

    Curious what the original insight was that led you to the Innovator's Dilemma framework.

    Would love a deep-dive into EdTech adoption barriers.

    Your framing of sustaining vs. disruptive innovation feels directly applicable to school systems.
