The Digital Twin of the Enterprise: Revolutionizing Organizational Intelligence

Abstract

Digital Twin of the Enterprise (DTOE) can be viewed as the revolutionary model of organizational intelligence and management that goes beyond the traditional business intelligence tools. Such an overarching concept develops a dynamic real-time virtual copy of the whole operational ecosystem of an organization, including structures, processes, and systems. As opposed to standalone dashboards or periodic models, a DTOE has a dynamic perspective and is constantly updated due to real-time information integration, ensuring unmatched oversight of operations. Digital twins work on a very advanced five-step model including data ingestion, model creation, simulation and analysis, prediction and optimization, and feedback loop, which allows organizations to not only get an understanding of what is going on in the organization at this very moment, but also simulate the conditions in the future, predict the results, and optimize the whole process in an extremely accurate manner. The strategic pros and cons can be related to better decision-making based on holistic views of operations, risk mitigation using scenario planning, faster effects of digital transformation by marking the basis of opportunity identification, increased efficiencies due to the discovery of additional optimization opportunities, and an enhanced level of resource allocation because of the clear understanding of the patterns of utilization. They say that as this technology matures, it is destined to overhaul the way organizations know themselves and make their decisions in an even more complex business world.
