Design to enable. And get out of the way. More to follow, as I concentrate on platforms and control and filtering and getting out of the way.

When things are connected, and especially when the connected things are expressible in mathematical form, combining is an essential component of the creative process.

Walmart changed how people thought about “bricks and mortar” retailing by connecting all their operating units together; their ability to track inventory and sales was remarkable as a result; in some ways, they had begun the journey of converting their stocks into flows, long before anyone else in their sector thought about it.

Amazon changed how people thought about “clicks” retailing by extending the edge of their distribution network to the home, with consequent effects on warehousing and inventory management. One book to one address rather than books in volume to a distribution outlet when stocks dropped below preset reorder levels.

Facebook came along and changed how people thought about all this by making the individual the centre of the distribution network, with recommendations streaming from individuals and streaming to individuals.

According to JP, this is financial institutions’ chance to up their game. The trends we see today are a queue for each and every legacy player t increase touch-points with customers. And the platforms and ecosystems to do so are finally there.

JP’s (@jobsworth) informational “magic kingdom”? A structure where everything is allowed on the network and users can set conditions to test against thresholds so that certain actions are taken.

As the Internet of Things evolves, trust, becomes more important and valuable, not less.

The significance of the social layer, Rangaswami says, is that people – at least, social network users – are already used to managing feeds of information in this pub-sub fashion. “You can filter by following and unfollowing any person, document, product or app.” Rangaswami is of the view that the term ‘Internet of things’ focuses too much attention on the things, the hardware. “People are still thinking about the things because so much of the industry comes from a hardware background,” he says. “Anything [new] that comes along is just another reason to sell more devices.” Instead, he proposes the phrase ‘Internet of concepts’ to reflect the fact that network-connected devices will just be one of many sources of real-time status updates, that can be filtered by the user on social platforms and fed into automation systems.
