#128: Business Digital Twins: Modeling for Resilience and Growth

What happens when you take the digital twin concept beyond products and factories, and apply it to your entire business?In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with John Biagioni, President of Lampin Corporation and a leader with experience ranging from machinist to a billion-dollar company executive. John joins hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott to explore how a business-level digital twin can drive smarter, more resilient decisions across finance, operations, and customer relationships.From using value stream mapping as a foundational building block to integrating real-time IoT sensing for continuous calibration, John shares the practical steps any company, big or small, can take to build models that deliver true competitive advantage.Key Takeaways: Why You Need a Business Digital TwinBeyond Survivability: The model is not just for business continuity; it's also a tool for understanding how your business can thrive by layering financial modeling (leverage, bull/bear cases) on top of operational inputs and outputs.The Power of Iteration: The difference between a static "virtual twin" and an active "digital twin" is continuous iteration and calibration with live data (like IoT sensing) to reflect real-world performance.Stakeholder Trust: The digital twin is a relationship tool, building trust with your employees, board, and customers by providing confident, data-backed answers to complex questions about capacity, lead times, and financial performance.Resilience Over Efficiency: In a post-pandemic supply chain world, the core value of a business digital twin is not just efficiency but the resilience it provides against unforeseen disruptions.Thank you for joining us on Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering!
