CTO Podcast: Digital Twin, Culture of Diversity, and Delivering the Art of the Possible

January 6th, 2022

Podcast

Modern CTO with Joel Beasley

GDIT Federal Civilian Chief Technology Officer, Mike Cole, talks with Joel Beasley, author of the book ModernCTO and host of a podcast by the same name, about the impact of digital twins on business processes, why it’s okay to not always be the smartest person in the room, and how having diversity, equality and equity just makes sense.

Mike talks about the potential of Digital Twin for process, a virtual environment modeled after a real-world one where teams can simulate scenarios for process management. “It’s this use of automation and AI and machine learning to evaluate you process and then create a simulation environment so that you can play with your process and see where you can optimize,” he explains.

Listen to the full podcast to hear more about GDIT’s alignment to customers’ missions, impact of a diverse culture and his advice on recognizing contributors on your team.

When I think about culture, I think it’s my responsibility to make sure that we are promoting what we want our organization to look like and act like and perform. Collaborate [and] be diverse in your thinking.
