The central question for Stan is: "What is something that the drone industry today is doing wrong?"🔑 Key Takeaways:The Industry Isn't Cohesive: The biggest mistake the drone industry makes is presenting itself as a single, cohesive entity. Drones are merely tools whose applications and growth vary significantly across different industries and use cases.Expertise is Segmented: The label "drone expert" is misleading because an individual who specializes in one area (like 3D modeling with LiDAR) may know nothing about other segments (like forestry management or public safety).Early Stage of Growth: The industry is estimated to be at only about 5% of its overall capability and capacity. Part 107 regulations are less than ten years old.Lack of Strategic Planning: Many enterprise drone programs fail because they focus on buying a drone or a specific component without a defined outcome or a strategic roadmap.⌛ Timestamps:[00:00:00] - Introduction to uncrewed aerial systems (drones) as a disruptive technology and a brief mention of the Enterprise Drone Program Maturity assessment.[00:02:49] - Stan discusses the problem of public perception and the incorrect lumping together of diverse drone use cases, stressing that expertise is segmented.[00:06:03] - The conversation focuses on program failure due to a lack of roadmap and strategic focus, noting the failure of multi-million dollar VC-backed companies.[00:08:47] - Stan agrees with the "5% reality" as the industry stands on the precipice of a "blue ocean" of opportunities.Follow the Guest Stan Khlevner:👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/khlevner/Follow the Host Jason San Souci:👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonsansouci/🔗 More from Do You Know Drones:👉 Website: https://www.droneopsusa.com 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/afe-advisor-llc/ 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dykdrones/# 👉 X(Twitter): https://x.com/DronesDyk 👉 Email: [email protected] the Podcast:👉 Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/do-you-know-drones/id1479307112 👉 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DoYouKnowDrones#drones #UAS #CommercialUAVExpo #RemoteOptics #DroneStrategy #EnterpriseDrones #DroneExpertise #UAV #Technology
