IpX’s very own Todd Egan, CM2-P, presented at the 29th Annual INCOSE International Symposium. His discussion was focused on the CM2 Digital DNA of an Enterprise. We are fortunate to have one of the global thought leaders in the model based systems engineering demographic.

Todd discussed that an organization’s data is so much more than a simple tool. It’s the organization’s DNA; the foundational building blocks that allow you to leverage institutional knowledge, optimize current product offerings and conceptualize the products of tomorrow.

The terms Digital Thread and Digital Twin have been a favorite of industry over the last several years. What exactly is the Digital Thread? What is the Digital Twin, and how do we get there?

Think of the Digital Thread as the digital connective tissue between enterprise disciplines and datasets akin to the building blocks of a DNA strand. Individually they each tell part of the story from a different perspective and with a different focus. But connected together they become far more powerful. They build upon one another to create a product or project…a Digital Twin.

Thus allowing an organization to work initiatives and challenges tactically with a confidence that the scope of the change is understood not only at its current point in the lifecycle but with an understanding of downstream implications to ensure the decisions being made address the full lifecycle of the product.

Drawing from IpX’s experience, we believe breakthrough business process improvement outcomes are achieved by holistically addressing the interoperability of your organizations people, processes, systems and data.

Technology enables process change, but desirable business improvement outcomes cannot be achieved without organizational changes. Ultimately, people must be inspired, empowered, and engaged.
