The Business Strategy & Solution Lifecycle Working Group (BSSL WG) provides guidance and best
practices for all aspects of developing and operating an Industrial Internet solution: business
model changes, business-case creation, project team priorities, architecture design, technology
selection, implementation, testing, rollout, process re-engineering and operations.
The goal of BSSL WG is to help companies leverage the potential of the Industrial Internet,
increase return on investment, manage project risks more efficiently, and establish a foundation
for evaluating solutions and ensuring their compliance to business or regulatory requirements.
Its activities fall under four major themes:
Business Strategy & Planning
Industrial Internet Solution Design
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Project Management
Metrics and Measures
The objectives and goals of BSSL WG build upon and complement the results delivered by other
Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) Working Groups. The focus of BSSL WG is illustrated in Figure
