Fast Company & Siemens: Scaling Transformation in the Industrial Metaverse

I recently hosted the second installment in Fast Company’s Webinar series on the “industrial metaverse” hosted in partnership with Siemens. Titled “Scaling Transformation: How to Take the Innovation Beyond the Pilot Stage,” I first spoke with Platform Revolution author Marshall Van Alstyne before ushering Siemens’ Brenda Discher, Sierra Space Company’s Jeff Babione, and REGENT’s Mike Klinker onto the virtual stage. From the description:

Digital transformation is now a foundational part of every company’s strategic planning and its impact is being felt from R&D labs to the industrial floor. As cloud-based technologies like digital twin platforms become part of the framework for the future of industry, it is becoming increasingly vital to adapt workflows so organizations can scale their innovations faster with less financial risk. In this thought-provoking panel discussion, Fast Company and Siemens will convene a key group of business and technology leaders to discuss best practices for small and medium businesses to implement their digital transformation investments and key insights on how it applies to rolling out new products.

Watch the whole thing here. (And please pardon my skiing-induced second-degree sunburn.)
