The value of, and from, Data

[David McK]

For me, Digital Twins are for acquiring, maintaining and exploiting Data - as a means to an end.  We need to shift the typical focus of many organisations away from technology and "IT" towards understanding this perspective.  I think the real value comes from thinking about Data Flows and not just the Data (store / Lake / whatever).  This is my perspective also in the context of Asset Management.

I am not associated with Anmut, but I recommend this well-written Report.  (They have collaborated with Highways England to do some extremely exciting and useful work re Gemini.)   https://anmut.co.uk/insights/      https://www.linkedin.com/posts/guyjdavis96_data-research-datavalue-activity-6739116308098514944-l4Vo
