    Creating a DTO to Better Manage the Cost of Quality - Mike Haley

    What is a Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO)?

    A DTO is a dynamic software model of any organization that relies on operational and contextual data to understand how an organization operationalizes its business model, connects with its current state, responds to changes, deploys resources and delivers customer value.

    A DTO provides a virtual model of complete businesses which enables business leaders to analyze, and tweak business processes as needed. DTOs are built to analyze an organization’s processes or services in a virtual environment to run simulations and address issues which may confronted the business in real-life situations.

    How BPAC & CBP support a Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO)

     

    Gartner’s Definitions for DTO Technologies

    Business operating model capabilities:

    • Support for modeling and analysis of business operations indicating how capabilities and other resources are deployed to deliver value to the organization’s stakeholders

    • Models of offerings (products, services and information) delivered to customer segments

    • Models of resources (such as machines, IT systems and people) that perform the operations and thus are connected to the entire business operating model

    Business performance management capabilities:

    • Support for multiple measurement schemes (such as operational performance indicators, financial models, and service-level agreements) and how they interact within the business operating model

    • Scenario testing, predictive and prescriptive analytics based on the business operating model

    • Cost/value analysis (balancing cost savings with operational effectiveness and business value)
