To start the discussion off – Your talk provides details of the two pilot locations. I understand that the areas were selected to allow the pilot to build on existing work in these areas. My assumption would be that there may be some differences between the very dense urban environment in London boroughs to a wider region of the North West of England. Did the different locations result in any different findings that will be applied to NUAR going forward?

Looking ahead, our next Digital Twin Talk: A National Underground Asset Register; delivering value with flexibility by @Neil from the Geospatial Commission. We will post the video of Neil’s talk on Monday evening and Neil will join us for a live forum discussion on the 4th August between 10:30 and 11:30 am BST.

We are keen for as many people as possible to benefit from this excellent series of talks and discussions. Please share a link to the DT Hub with your contacts and let them know about the Twin Talks.

Many thanks to @David McKee and everyone on this chat for all of your comments and questions. 

We are now coming to the end of our live discussion, but will keep this space open and available until the end of the day in case you have further thoughts and questions. We will continue to monitor the discussion during that time, but on a less frequent basis.

The Slingshot Simulations website has an excellent ongoing blog series on the topic of digital twins

https://www.slingshotsimulations.co.uk/digital-twins/digital-twin-series-coming-soon/

@David McKee are there any other resources you would recommend to people looking to understand more about the topic?

[Tom Hughes]

An open question to all in the discussion, particularity anyone online that hasn’t posted yet. Which part of David’s presentation interested you the most, and what key insights will you be taking away to apply to your own work on digital twins?

[Tom Hughes]

When it comes to interconnecting digital twins across organisation and sectors within the built environment what do you see at the key challenges and opportunities?

[Tom Hughes]

To better understand maturity toward digital twins and the National Digital Twin programme CDBB have recently launched an extension to the Smart Infrastructure Index. This is currently open to DT Hub members from asset owning organisations until 31st August.

@David McKee – How have you seen maturity towards digital twins develop in the built environment? In your opinion, in what areas would increased maturity accelerate the delivery of the National Digital Twin?

[Tom Hughes]

@David McKee early in your talk you mention your world first simulation of a data center and the outcome that it achieved in terms of energy footprint. From your work what do you see as the key high value use cases for digital twins?

@KReevesDigi – In your talk you mention The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF). Can you recommend any online resources for people that would like to learn more?

[Tom Hughes]

An open question to all in the discussion. Has Kevin’s presentation reinforced, extended or perhaps changed any of your views on digital twins and the integrated enterprise? I would particularly like to hear from any guests (not yet a DT Hub member) who are online, what will you be taking away from the talk today?

[Tom Hughes]

@KReevesDigi your approach uses the Gemini Principles. Do you have any examples of how the Gemini Principles have helped Costain to be successful, and as a follow-up are there any examples where you’ve experienced push-back against any of the principles?

[Tom Hughes]

To better understand maturity toward digital twins and the National Digital Twin programme CDBB have recently launched an extension to the Smart Infrastructure Index. This is open to DT Hub members from asset owning organisations. @KReevesDigi in your experience where are organisations typically most mature when it comes to digital twins and where do they benefit most from additional support?
