Director - Enterprise Architecture & Resiliency, Ameren

Do you see these types of solutions as just being used for the coming months/year or so as a transition back to the office, or might some of these become permanent changes in the proverbial 'new normal'?

Founder and CEO, FuseForward

Well-explained, thanks for sharing Mark! It's always important with these types of buzzwords, as you say, because sometimes people will assume we all have the same understanding but the idea developed too rapidly and definitions diverged.

Thanks for sharing this video Mark. Can you share any ideas of what is missing from digital twin technology that would be super helpful for the industry but is currently not available? Thanks,

Great video and very well explained! The analogies you provided really help a wider audience to understand the concept of a digital twin.
