The Internet of Everything (IoE) is the networked connection of people, process, data, and things. These four networked connections make up the four pillars of the IoE. An IoE business incorporates these four pillars to deliver more relevant and valuable products and services to the customer. The interactions between the elements in the four pillars create a wealth of new information. The pillars interact in a way that establishes three main connections in the IoE environment: people communicate with people (P2P), machines communicate with people (M2P), and machines communicate with machines (M2M).

Test Yourself - What's Your Cognitive Style
It is a good idea to have groups with diverse cognitive styles and approaches. Here is a simple test to start off the group formation
Ideation and Design Thinking
- Ideation does not necessarily start with an idea
- An idea is the output of the innovation process, not the starting point
- The goal should be to construct the single, best solution to satisfy the unmet needs
- You ideate in order to transition from identifying problems into exploring solutions for your users
Organize Ideas

Technology
Raspberry Pi - technology made for creativity
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. The device has the ability to interact with the outside world, and has been used in a wide array of digital maker projects, from music machines
and parent detectors to weather stations and tweeting birdhouses with infra-red cameras.

Course materials from Networking Academy
The Internet of Everything (IoE) is the networked connection of people, process, data and things. As more people, data and things come online, we develop processes to harness the vast amounts information being generated by all these connected people and things.
The Internet of Everything is able to improve quality of life for people everywhere by taking advantage of these connected things and the data produced, and incorporating new processes that enable people to make better decisions and offerings.
The IoE enables accurate and timely information that can result in changing human behavior for the benefit of all people. It facilitates feedback that allows people to make informed decisions that bridge the differences between actual outputs and desired outputs. This is known as a feedback loop. A feedback loop can provide real-time information based on current behavior, and then deliver actionable information to modify that behavior.
The highest value of the IoE is realized when process facilitates the integration of Machine-to-Machine (M2M), Machine-to-Person(M2P), and Person-to-Person (P2P) connections.
"Connecting the unconnected" requires a convergence between an organization’s operational technology (OT) and the information technology (IT) systems those organizations have in place.
