Can Leaders Harness The Hyper connectivity of Everything?

Think of the Hyper connectivity of Everything as the convergence of multiple "Connections": the Connections of Information (World Wide Web and systems), the Connections of People (social networks), the Connections of Things and the Internet of Places. These Connections can produce much value on their own (e.g., social networks), but it is the convergence of the multiple Connections that produces the greatest value, innovation and potential for competitive advantage.

The "Hyper connectivity of Everything" will pervade business, government and society, creating new business models and transforming existing ones and successful leaders will be able to harness these new business models and continuously innovate.

As the Hyper connectivity of Everything develops, everything will have an IP address. The number of Internet-connected entities and the volume of Internet data will increase.  Connected objects are driving hyperconnected businesses and extended value chains. This interconnectivity of objects, systems, information, people and places is creating many new business opportunities.  Risks and issues of security, privacy, Internet network fragmentation and infrastructure congestion may slow or diminish aspects of the Internet of Everything trend and potentially impact the acceleration of innovation.

Are you building new leadership, business, technology models based on the Hyper connectivity of Everything Trend?
