Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of our lives. It is so intertwined and widespread that most of the time we do not realise it is there. You take a picture with your smartphone and it automatically decides what to focus on. Well, that “automatically” requires AI that inspect …

Let’s now consider the first issue: identifying and applying a new business model. They are separate aspects, obviously both important, but involving quite different strategies and leading to quite different impact on the enterprise/institution. The starting point should be the analyses on how the “status quo” changes as we execute …

aving a Personal Digital Twin as a “container” of data and a “framework” is fine but it is unlikely to stimulate users’ adoption. Sure, one can use it as a “personal global repository” but to really stimulate adoption and make the person perceive a value the PDT should deliver some …

Let’s consider then the use of a Personal Digital Twin as a “container” of data and as a framework for these data use (knowledge, access, sharing, …). A company, like IEEE, could offer, as I mention, to create on behalf of its customers/users their Personal Digital Twin, based on the …

In addition to data explicitly requested to its customers, a company can accumulate data, deriving them from the interaction that the customer has with the many services/products the company offers. This is what many players on the web do. Google, Amazon, … are acquiring and aggregating information on their users/customers …

Moving from warehousing to consulting requires acquiring, and growing a knowledge of the “customer”. IEEE, as an example, has, …

The next years will see a growing impact of distributed knowledge, where “distributed” refers both to knowledge owned/embedded in humans, in organizations and in machines. In a way this is nothing new, what is new is the seamless access, actually co-presence of this distributed knowledge to the point where it …

The most difficult part in this transition is not about technology: it is about culture and organization. Laying back and waiting for customer to knock at your door is a different mindset than going out and knock at customers’ doors. Of course, once you are operating in the cyberspace you …

The problem I see with IEEE with respect to data (and digitalization) is that data are seen as boxes on shelves and IEEE role with respect to those data is the one of warehousing. All the “digitalization” effort has been focused on more efficient ways to place those boxes on …

I am involved, along with a few other people, in a brainstorming on the future of data management within IEEE. Specifically, I am working in the area of Digital Transformation of IEEE and, as it is natural, the first point of discussion is: What does it mean Digital Transformation for …
