About the programme

Course Overview

Vendors sell immersive digital twins as a product; it behaves in practice as a change programme. The constraint on the digital and data-driven work capability is rarely the model or the platform — it is the data and the operating discipline behind it. Participants finish able to explain the practice within digital and data-driven work to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Buying a tool rarely fixes immersive digital twins; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this aspect of digital and data-driven work is examined from more than one functional angle. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this area of digital and data-driven work and the judgement to adapt it. Comparative studies of immersive digital twins across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Every module pairs a short input on this part of digital and data-driven work with structured practice on the participant's own material. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of digital and data-driven work into commitments with owners and dates.
