Five Considerations When Choosing an AI Solution for Your Retail Enterprise
You probably realize that the winning approach for implementing an Internet of Things IoT building management strategy in facility operations involves setting key goals and objectives, running a successful pilot, and then expanding that program across the entire estate/portfolio in a phased manner. The key to a successful implementation depends on identifying the primary key tasks, deliverables, and process steps, which include developing a baseline for current building performance, organizing and commissioning adequate requisite resources, and ensuring your team is aligned with the desired outcomes.
This checklist will help you organize and set you up for a smooth IoT implementation. It is a 7-step guide that covers the critical elements you need to be successful. Cover all these aspects and you’re on your way towards transforming the management of your store’s energy, maintenance, and equipment operations.
Establish a baseline against which project performance outcomes and success criteria will be measured
Establish expected project pre-requisites, resources, and desired outcomes.
Utilize baseline data gathered to identify/document strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis.
Develop key criteria, end-user requirements, and bill of materials for project deliverables.
Utilize preferred purchasing process (i.e. SOW/RFI/RFP/Pilot) to identify, evaluate, select, and implement IoT strategy as developed to meet and exceed defined outcomes and performance expectations.
Identify executive sponsor and project ownership; plan, align and properly resource execution and implementation requirements. Ensure organizational ownership, accountability, and visibility to all phases and resources. Ensure system-wide organizational buy-in pre-rollout, identify obstacles to the change management process early on, and develop solutions and resolution processes to avoid program derailment.
Key objective: Ensure rigorous and zero-defect approach is utilized throughout the deployment.
