Download MP3
When the cost of failure is low, experimentation is often the best way to make decisions. But when a wrong call could cost millions or endanger lives, you need an entirely different approach. This is where digital twins come in. And recent technological advances have made them accessible to far more organisations than ever before.

In this episode, Dr Greg Biegel joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to explore what digital twins actually are, how they enable better executive decision-making, and what data scientists need to know to start working with them.

You'll discover:
  1. What a digital twin actually is and what distinguishes it from a traditional simulation [02:35]
  2. The five capability levels of digital twins explained through Google Maps [09:12] 
  3. How digital twins transform raw operational data into executive decisions [14:07]
  4. Why you should always start from a decision and not a technology [25:20]
