Disruption
Technology is disruptive, but can it also help us to cope with disruption? Our lives are already disrupted by cyberattacks, climate change, forced migration, health pandemics, market crises and rising nationalism – and this will only increase. I recently spoke at Delmia Quintiq’s Planning in a Disruptive World event in Barcelona. We were looking at smart solutions like digital twins for operations, traffic simulation for better logistics, blockchain traceability in supply chains and connected value networks to support a circular economy. It’s exciting stuff. So long as we don’t just optimise the status quo and make unsustainable companies more efficient.
