Connected Everything

Homes, cars, cities, factories – pretty much everything around us is becoming smarter.

The Internet of Things (IoT) offers customers more  opportunities – to increase revenue, save money, gather actionable information and create targeted engagement. New business models enabled by IoT allow for breakthrough business results. LinkedObjects has been there – it works.

Our Mission

Digitize the physical world.

Innovate products and services. Build next-generation operations. Create entirely new businesses. We help companies achieve this in a cost effective and timely manner.

How do we do that?

Pinpointing emerging opportunities. Finding unexpected value, and creating new businesses by harnessing the full power of digital.

We provide clients with research and insights on what drives value in the digital economy. Our approach is grounded on years of hands-on experience that helps us identify an optimal portfolio of initiatives—a selection that balances investing in digitizing a company’s current business model against innovating new business models, and creating alignment among the executive team.

 

Strategy Services

The new world of smart, connected devices represents a sea of change in the fundamental dynamics of competition.

LinkedObjects works with management teams to understand what digital levers are available to transform their business and take advantage of the intrinsic fly-wheel that develops with  IoT, AI and large data sets.

Anticipate Future Disruptions

Understanding customer and technological effects of competition can lead to the creation of a better product at a lower cost.  We conduct “What if” analysis with our customers to encourage out-of-the box thinking and reallocating investment in future technological efforts.

Novel Business Models

Selling products isn’t enough to survive. Taking advantage of larger and larger data sets, ubiquitous connectivity, machine learning/AI and cloud and edge computing will open up new ways to make money and stay competitive while being keenly aware of customer demands and expectations.

Update Company Strategy

Novel business models lead to defining new business targets (KPIs) that support specific expectations of digital value creation.
