The term Digital Twins of Organisation (DTO) originates from the fields of digital transformation, automation and big data. A digital twin of organisation is a digital image of an organisation - for example, a company or a department. This image not only shows structures and workflows, but also how different processes, people and technologies work together.
With a DTO, companies can analyse, simulate and improve processes in real time. This allows weak points to be recognised before they lead to problems in real business life. A typical example: a medium-sized company wants to know why the delivery of products sometimes takes longer than planned. With a DTO, the company can digitally map its logistics processes, recognise bottlenecks and test various solutions on the computer first instead of implementing risky changes directly in day-to-day operations.
The major advantage of a digital twin of organisation is that decisions can be made based on facts and driven by data. This saves time, reduces costs and increases the chances of avoiding mistakes. The use of a DTO is becoming increasingly important for companies that want to survive in an increasingly digital world.
