Part of the reason for setting up this network was to continue to progress the NDTP agenda and ensure we can still provide a ‘helpful’ voice into government. I have personal concerns that the decisions taken regarding the future of Digital Twins in the UK could hamper efforts for the UK to remain as a thought leader in this space. I would like…

@Helena are you able to help Joe with this request?

Really great to see these being shared @Peter I have enjoyed both weeks publications so far. I especially like this statement you included this week ‘Digital Twins can be initiated at any time in the process, to tackle both new and legacy problems.’ I like that fact that this suggests the Twins must be developed with a purpose in…

With just over 2 years since the Gemini Principles (TheGeminiPrinciples.pdf) were published what are your thoughts? Aspirational, Feasible, Tangible or Down Right Wrong.

Thanks for sharing this Ian it does look from the surface that there would be some overlaps. Perhaps @Mark Enzer or @Peter might know some of the details.

@Ian Gordon really interesting post and a conversation that I’m sure has been had in more than one organisation.

Learning to Succeed and Succeeding to Learn. 3 Core Lessons

The Digital Twin Hub’s ethos from the start has been one of openness; and learning from the collective successes and failures of the community. In order to make this a part of our collective behaviour I think it is essential that we ‘practice as we preach’ and as such,…

As part of the roadmap towards the attainment of Digital Twins the water industry seems to have some of the most tangible immediate use cases. I was just reading around the innovation priorities for Yorkshire Water which seem to be very customer and environmentally centric. It is quite easy to see how Digital Twins could play a crucial role in…
