Hi Steven,
I think that the industry approach to Health & Safety is perhaps the best example of where we have ‘done it before’. The processes, information and governance are all pretty much standard regardless of which company you work for.
This common approach and language has been instrumental to the significant improvements in H&S and something we can look to when assessing the value of scaled digital twins from a national perspective.
Imagine if other business functions aligned in the same way, the NDT will effectively become an industry black box enabling the entire value chain to continuously improve, in the same way Airlines use ‘black boxes’ to deliver improvements. It would in effect move us towards a platform based industry, that evolves with the overall economy creating a level playing field for healthy competition.
Whilst difficult to see and even harder to articulate, the value from creating a National Digital Twin is pretty much limitless and requires top down approaches to ensure UK Gov, regulators and NGO’s can deliver strategic outcomes, plus the bottom up approach to ensure tactical needs are met.
More needs to be done to enable cross organisational integration, though the IMF is starting to tackle this challenge and is a must do to enable industry transformation to take place.
Regards
Kevin
