CDAIT’s policy and outreach activities support ongoing, research, educational and development efforts to increase IoT awareness. Efforts in this area include regulatory filings, policy analysis and position papers as well as more in-depth research projects. CDAIT policy activities range from focused “deep-dives” on specific technologies, audiences and use cases, to collaborative activities with other industry partners and research centers. Below are selected examples of our work done by CDAIT, and in collaboration with partners.

Policy/Standards/Thought Leadership:
Thought Leadership Paper: “Driving New Modes of IoT-Facilitated Citizen/User Engagement”
This white paper, produced by CDAIT’s IoT Thought Leadership Working Group, examines ways the Internet of Things is markedly reshaping user engagement, including stakeholder response to some type of offering, such as, but not limited to, a product or a service. IoT should not only be thought of as a collection of technologies, but also include societal impacts and benefits as well as social outcomes that can be advanced, enhanced and simplified by the use of “smart” technologies.
Digital Transformation and the Internet of Things
Digital Transformation and the Internet of Things, focuses on the business reinvention, opportunities and impacts brought about by pervasive digital change (across people, process, technology & environment) for which IoT technologies play a key role. It also explores some of the key Digital Business Transformation (DBT) challenges, especially around IoT implementation and scale, and suggests frameworks for improving the approach to and efficacy of DBT programs and their IoT elements.
