Who in the organization is best suited to own and manage the digital twin infra and projects?

Chris Fangmann
Depends on the use case - but of course the respective process owner (e.g. production line manager) as well as (if existing) the CDO should be sponsoring the initiative

Kai-Uwe Hess
I see it the same way, there are already a lot of organizations which have dedicated CDO's

So the business leading this effort as against IT is a recommended approach?

Chris Fangmann
Very often we find in client situations that there is no interlink between business and IT (like e.g. Business-IT-Relationship-layer) or no interlink between IT & OT - this is required - and can be started with a Proof of Value

Chris Fangmann
Yes, business needs to lead - and IT needs to start understanding more business. The convergence of IT and OT is one of the most important topics for any CIO

Kai-Uwe Hess
it always should be a joint approach. only when business and IT is aligned you will have success
