What’s New at the IIC
I NDIVIDUAL C ONTRIBUTOR A WARD
The Steering Committee awards program
recognizes some of the innovative contributions
driven by IIC members. The award category for
this quarter was the Technical Innovation Award.
The award was given to Mr. Dirk Slama (Bosch
Software Innovations). Dirk was recognized by
his peers for his leadership and innovative work
for the Business Strategy and Solutions Working
Group. His nomination cited his ability to define
and execute focused projects meaningful to the
industry. Specifically, his contributions to
business modeling and his initiative to build the
I 3 C portal as part of the Industrial Internet
Interoperability Coalition (I 3 C), a member
initiative within the Industrial Internet
Consortium
IIC members gain experience they
could never have as a non-member.
They experience member meetings
unlike any local meet-up groups.

involved and make a difference?
