Next Generation Digital Twins - CIONET Belgium: Community Event

Imagine being able to monitor, simulate, and optimise an entire city, factory, or supply chain in real time. Next-generation digital twins are making this vision a reality, transforming how we manage and understand complex systems. By creating dynamic virtual replicas of physical assets and processes, digital twins allow organisations to predict issues, optimize performance, and make data-driven decisions with unprecedented accuracy.This event will explore how digital twins are being used across industries to revolutionize the way we operate and maintain large-scale, intricate systems—whether it’s the infrastructure of a smart city, the efficiency of a factory floor, or the resilience of global supply chains.Examples of Digital Twins in Action:Smart Cities: Urban planners can use digital twins to simulate traffic flow, monitor energy usage, or predict the impact of weather events on infrastructure. This enables cities to optimize resources and improve the quality of life for their citizens.Factories of the Future: Manufacturing plants are leveraging digital twins to monitor equipment in real time, prevent downtime, and optimize production lines. With predictive analytics, factories can avoid costly breakdowns and improve overall efficiency.Supply Chain Management: Complex supply chains, spanning continents and industries, can be modeled as digital twins to track shipments, simulate disruptions, and optimize logistics. Businesses can reduce inefficiencies and respond faster to market demands.Key Themes:Real-Time Monitoring and Simulation: How digital twins provide real-time insights into complex systems, allowing for dynamic response and optimization.Predictive Power: Leveraging AI and data analytics, digital twins help organisations predict and mitigate issues before they happen, from equipment failures to supply chain bottlenecks.Scalability Across Ecosystems: Digital twins aren’t limited to individual assets—learn how they can be scaled across entire ecosystems like smart cities or global supply chains for maximum impact.Building Trust and Security: With digital twins handling critical infrastructure and sensitive data, what are the security and governance frameworks needed to ensure trust in these virtual systems?Why You Should Attend:Next-generation digital twins are no longer just a concept—they are revolutionizing industries by offering a new way to manage complexity. Whether you’re looking to optimize a city, factory, or supply chain, this event will provide practical insights into how digital twins can transform your organisation’s operations and drive future innovation.

Boosting productivity and personalization at WalkMe with Jasper

WalkMe faced the desire to scale content creation and maintain brand consistency. Jasper empowered WalkMe to enhance their content creation process and spark ideation.

“Jasper enables us to jumpstart content production at scale, starting with just a sentence. Jasper Everywhere is a game-changer for me. I can brainstorm, build, repurpose, or rephrase content on the fly and write in the document I’m working on, saving toggle time and copy/paste hassle.”


Corinne Gabay
Head of Marketing Programs
 
 

The Challenge: Scaling Content and Maintaining Authenticity

WalkMe, a leading digital adoption platform, found itself cornered by two conflicting needs: the urgency to scale content creation and the desire to maintain brand consistency and personalization. The task fell to Corinne Gabay and her content team who were responsible for producing marketing content across diverse mediums, including LinkedIn, Google, paid media, blogs, and email funnels. Brian McCool's revenue enablement team also struggled with time-consuming research, hindering their ability to deliver personalized emails effectively.

 

Leveraging Jasper

Enter Jasper, an AI-powered co-pilot designed to address these exact problems. WalkMe adopted Jasper to enhance their content creation process and spark ideation. Brian McCool, Head of Revenue Enablement at WalkMe, framed this challenge, “We needed to figure out how to get to the goal and alleviate the challenge of authenticity taking too much time. That’s when we saw Jasper come in.”

 

Increased Efficiency and Authentic Content

Jasper was a game-changer for WalkMe’s marketing team. By employing Jasper Brand Voice, the team could strengthen brand authenticity in their content while adhering strictly to brand standards. Corinne further expands on this challenge, “When you have multiple writers writing different things, having the same voice and style across all of your content is really important. With Jasper, we get that continuity plus more volume more quickly.”

Corinne particularly appreciates the Jasper Extension, which allows for content creation directly within Google Docs. The ability to repurpose content effortlessly for different platforms, such as LinkedIn posts or promotional emails, further enhanced efficiency.

For the sales team, Jasper served as an invaluable resource for industry research, allowing the team to understand top industry initiatives and tailor effective content accordingly. Jasper was also equipped to curate value-driven content, pinpointing key features of WalkMe's offering compared to their competitors—all while preserving the unique voice and tone of their brand.

 

The Results of AI Empowerment

Across the sales and marketing teams combined, leveraging Jasper resulted in impressive savings of 3,000+ hours in content creation and a 2X ROI relative to cost. Consider the value of the time saved – the WalkMe team can now dedicate more attention to refining strategies and optimizing efforts. Corinne elaborates on this value stating, “Starting is the hardest point. With Jasper, we have the ability to do much more with less because we already have something to work with versus coming up with everything fresh.”

Moreover, the incorporation of generative AI in content creation led to a 2.5X improvement in reply rates for outbound prospecting efforts. Jasper's mastery of infusing brand authenticity allowed WalkMe's content to shine.

 

 The Future of Content Creation

With features like Campaigns, Jasper Chat, and the Extension, Jasper gave the WalkMe team the power to swiftly gather relevant data, rewrite content effortlessly, and craft authentic messages that resonated with their audience. All of this has had far-reaching, transformative effects on the team’s content and efficiency. 

Today, WalkMe continues to leverage Jasper's capabilities, constantly pushing the boundaries of its content creation process. It's more than just a tool—it's a strategic partner that empowers WalkMe to stay competitive in their market and engaging to their audience.
