00:00Hello everybody, and thank you for joining this part of the session.
00:08If I'm correct, you should all have already been informed on local digital twins and its benefits,
00:15as well as on LordyMoss, which looks at your digital maturity.
00:20During this part of the session, we will be going over how to create a digitalization roadmap,
00:26with which we mean take a look at where you currently stand.
00:29So another assessment, maturity assessment, as well as then building a roadmap on top of that,
00:37to eventually implement a digital twin.
00:42For that, there's a journey involved. During this training itself, we will be looking at the strategy assessment,
00:50the IT infrastructure assessment, and then building the digitalization roadmap on top of that.
00:55Within this journey, LordyMoss also has a part to play, as that allows you to get to know your overall digital maturity,
01:01and the roadmap is followed by procurement support, which will be talked about,
01:06procurement templates, those kind of things, which will be talked about after this part of the session in the next part.
01:13Then maybe to briefly start with LordyMoss, as I mentioned, it looks at your overall digital maturity,
01:20which is good to also know because in the end, everything is connected.
01:24Additionally, to make sure that what we are doing is integrated with that approach,
01:30and also to make sure that there's no double work in anything.
01:35We use a few of the questions and dimensions of LordyMoss to eventually make the roadmap.
01:41So think of, you see the ones highlighted here, so you see strategy, data strategy, interoperability, and IoT devices.
01:49Once LordyMoss is completed, this is followed by the strategy assessment and the IT infrastructure assessment,
01:58where the strategy assessment is more to get a view on where you currently are, where you want to go,
02:05in terms of your strategic vision, in terms of your organization, those kind of things.
02:09And the IT infrastructure assessment is divided in two parts,
02:12one looking at which systems and applications and IoT devices you currently already have,
02:17and which ones you would like to implement,
02:19as well as then taking a close look at your IT infrastructure itself.
02:24We will go into detail on each of these points right after this.
02:29So here, a closer look at the strategy assessment,
02:32and like I mentioned, it looks at your community's digital ambition,
02:37and where it currently is, what is it already investing in,
02:40and it also looks at where you want to go, what you want to implement,
02:44and as well some enabling factors such as,
02:46do you already have a smart city office that could lead this whole project,
02:49and strategic KPIs to find, to kind of know whether it will be a success or not.
02:56There are a number of different types of questions asked here,
02:59so it's multiple choice and open questions.
03:01You see two examples already here, which of the following resources do you share,
03:05and how extensively defined is your vision?
03:10But yeah, these are just two of the many questions in there.
03:14What we want to gain from this is an understanding of where you are,
03:19and how you want to get where you need to go.
03:22But to get these valuable insights, we of course need the right participants
03:27to be involved in this part of the process.
03:29You see some names here, CEO, CTO.
03:33In the end, it doesn't really matter.
03:35What is important here is that people that have strategic knowledge
03:39about the way that the technology will be used in the future,
03:43what kind of use cases you're interested in,
03:45that those kind of people are involved in this assessment.
03:48Here you see then in more detail the different dimensions that are part of it.
03:52So your strategic priorities, vision and objectives,
03:55whether or not you have your own platform,
03:57or share it with different cities or communities,
03:59your governance and your strategic KPIs.
04:05Once the strategy assessment is done,
04:07it is followed by the IT infrastructure assessment,
04:09where I mentioned it consists of two parts,
04:11one looking at your systems and applications,
04:13and one looking at your real IT infrastructure.
04:16Here you see what we kind of mean with the first part.
04:21So you see your IoT devices,
04:23they create data that is then used in your systems or applications.
04:27And then if you would go a step further,
04:31really integrate different data,
04:32integrate different use cases into a single platform,
04:35you have your local digital platform,
04:37where you have a good view on all your data or all relevant data,
04:41as well then already as a way to already visualize it
04:45and do perform some analytics with it.
04:47And only if you go beyond that to advanced analytics capabilities,
04:50real visualization of your city,
04:52other simulation capabilities that you want to involve,
04:56then we're talking about a local digital twin.
05:00The other part of the assessment then,
05:02is looking at your IT infrastructure itself.
05:06Here on the left you see a reference architecture,
05:08where of course there are many different parts involved.
05:10So what do you want to do with it?
05:13What kind of devices are being used?
05:15What are the business rationale behind things?
05:17The data that you have security and integration.
05:20But we are mainly looking at infrastructure itself,
05:24with which we mean your compute network data storage
05:27and infrastructure security.
05:30And these are all important to make sure that you have your data,
05:34that you can analyze your data,
05:35that you have enough computing power to perform any calculations
05:38that need to be performed,
05:39that you have a network that connects everything,
05:41and that everything is secure.
05:43One thing I do want to mention is that the roadmap itself
05:46does have references to most of these parts,
05:50to make sure that of course everything is incorporated.
05:53But in terms of the assessment,
05:54that's really looking at your IT infrastructure itself.
05:57So in total there are seven chapters divided over two sections,
06:03and many different types of questions.
06:06And here again you have some example questions,
06:08but these are really just four out of the many questions
06:11that are involved in this assessment.
06:13What is important here is that there do need to be slightly more technical people involved
06:19than in the first part.
06:20And where the first part was mainly strategic,
06:22here we're really looking at all these different IT components.
06:25Again many names,
06:27what is important that people are in the room with the required knowledge on those topics.
06:34More in-depth view of what is actually being assessed.
06:37So you have your IoT devices along with strategy and platform,
06:40and you have your systems and applications
06:42culminating into a local digital platform.
06:44And then as well as data, storage, compute network,
06:47and infrastructure security with their respective sub-capabilities.
06:56Once this assessment is completed,
06:58so the strategy IT infrastructure assessment as well as LordiMAS,
07:02the results need to be analyzed and a roadmap can be made on top of that.
07:06The way that we do it is we have five different maturity levels,
07:12each of which has their own corresponding roadmap.
07:16And then as well as looking at answers to individual questions,
07:19looking at your maturity level for each of the different capabilities
07:23to make sure it is tailored as much as possible
07:26to the real situation of your city or community.
07:29And here you see the five different overall maturity levels that can be there.
07:39The definitions are not that important right now,
07:41but as you can see it goes from absent to digital growth,
07:43each showing a higher level of maturity from a technical perspective.
07:48This is then all summarized into a slide showing both your LordiMAS results
07:54as well as your technical maturity results,
07:57together with some key considerations that would need to be taken into account
08:01when actually going to perform the roadmap.
08:04And talking about the roadmap, that is something that,
08:07after all these assessments, we can start building.
08:10The roadmap itself consists of three phases,
08:16being the foundation growth, expand and accelerate phase.
08:19We will get into a, in a moment, we'll get into what each of these mean.
08:23And within each of these phases, there are different enablers and capabilities,
08:29where enablers are a little bit more enabling the things,
08:33whereas the capabilities are a bit more technical.
08:35But in the end, what is important to note that there are 19 different streams,
08:39each with their own initiatives defined on them, as you can see here on the right.
08:44So each of these 19 streams has a list of initiatives to really implement
08:49whatever it is that needs to be implemented for your city or community to go to the next level.
08:56Then, like I mentioned, if we go take a look at what these phases actually are
09:00and the rationale behind them, the foundation phase is there to,
09:04really look at everything that is underlining the eventual digital twin.
09:09So we're talking here about IT infrastructure.
09:12So all those five different dimensions.
09:14About IoT devices that you have, but also about your strategy,
09:18about a reference architecture that you kind of know what you're building towards.
09:22So everything that you need to progress.
09:25And in the growth phase, it is more about bringing everything together for the first time.
09:30So bringing all your data together and already building a platform on top of that
09:35with some analytics and visualization capabilities.
09:38Now, if this is already present, then we will not start with MVP.
09:43Instead, we will start with an additional use case or an extension of the platform.
09:50Just to make sure that it is all aligned.
09:54Once this is done and there's an implementation of a local digital platform.
09:58The expand and accelerate phase can start, which is really looking at implementing a local digital twin.
10:04With whatever capabilities are required for the use cases you have envisioned.
10:14So that's really about making sure you're ready for that, making sure everybody's involved,
10:18making sure that everything that you have done so far is still aligned with where you want to go.
10:23But we'll take a brief look at that in a moment.
10:25Because here you have your reference roadmap with each of the 19 streams included in it.
10:34So as you can see, you have your digital strategy.
10:36You're going to put also your stakeholder experience.
10:38So you have the things that came back in the assessments as well as additional enabling factors that are required
10:45to really make sure this is all a success.
10:50On top of that, you see here the different maturity levels and with the place that we would expect them to start.
10:58Now, this is just an indication because in the end, you can have different maturity levels for each of the different capabilities,
11:03making it that you can't really say what the exact starting point is,
11:08but this already gives you an idea of what each of them mean more or less.
11:12Then we can take a closer look at all the different streams involved in the roadmap.
11:19This is a roadmap, which are listed here.
11:23So you have your digital strategy, your governance, reference architecture,
11:27but also all the way going to your project management and expanding your strategy,
11:32the deployment of a digital twin.
11:34All these things were included in the roadmap.
11:37And each of them have their own list of initiatives to make sure there's a successful implementation of them.
11:43And then here's the additional list of capabilities such as device management, compute, security.
11:50Again, all of them with their own list of initiatives.
11:54And here is a real example of a reference roadmap that we would give and that we would recommend people to develop towards.
12:03So you see each of the different streams as well as their timeline.
12:08And of course, we have here chosen for six year timeline.
12:10Everything here is indicative.
12:11It is highly dependent on your current status.
12:15It's highly dependent on your procurement process.
12:17The number of people you have available, the resource you have available.
12:20But this gives an idea in terms of implementation time where you would need to work towards.
12:28Then finally, for the last slide, here we have the initiatives.
12:32So here you have the data initiative.
12:34And this is just one of two slides that would be included for this community.
12:39And each of those 90 things has their own list.
12:42So in the data initiative, you can see each of the sub capabilities that were also tested for in the assessment.
12:47And then each with a list of initiatives under them to really define what you need to do to improve on that dimension.
12:55Additionally, you can have a calendar estimate.
12:58Also included are procurement objects because of course, for some of these, we recommend procuring certain tools.
13:07And so those are included as well as in any interdependencies this initiative might have with other initiatives.
13:15That was it from my side.
13:20The next step now, if you would come to this, it would of course be the implementation of the roadmap.
13:26As well as the procurement of certain objects.
13:29This last part will then also be explained, I think, in the next part of this session directly after when I'm done.
13:37So hopefully any questions you have there can be enlightened on during that time.
13:44Other than that, I hope this has been useful to most of you.
13:48And this has clarified certain questions you may have had on how to look at where you are and how to progress towards the eventual implementation of a digital twin.
13:58And if there are any questions on any of this, please feel free to reach out to me.
14:03We would be happy to assist you with any questions you may have.
14:07And other than that, I hope you have enjoyed it.
14:11And thank you all very much for listening.
