LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The proper implementation of IoT needs an

approach which revolves around the change man-

agement. The first factor to consider for change

management is to find out a critical require-

ment and formulate a vision which can fix the

issue. The second factor is to create a coalition;

it includes seven challenges which IoT project

usually tackles. Other than managing the man-

power for the project, you have to recognize the

fact that these factors consist of the identification

of an executive champion and resolution of those

concerns which stakeholders commonly face.

CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

In order to get support, companies use an executive champion to solve the biggest challenge of

IoT projects: the senior management’s lack of support. If there is no active and strong executive

sponsor, then it is not possible for innovative IT projects to sustain because they cannot get the

required resources, oer a solution which corresponds well with the outdated business goals, or

receives cancellation when the priorities of an organization are reshued. It is necessary to have

an individual who can oer the required output from the initial project phase to its completion.

They also must wield enough power to handle requests which is important for the success of the

project delivery.

The aid of the executive sponsor assists the project success in three ways. At first, the

executive sponsor carries the influence to work with priorities, decide on strategic decisions,

go through issues, and consider risk mitigation—factors which are usually ignored by the sta.

Secondly, the executive sponsor assists in the procurement of the required resources either
