Cloud Revisited - CIONET Belgium: Community Event
Cloud computing was hailed as the game-changing solution to modern business challenges—transforming how organisations operate, scale, and innovate. But as the technology matures, it’s time to take a step back and ask: Has cloud truly lived up to the hype, or are we overlooking its deeper complexities and hidden costs?In this critical reflection, we’ll revisit the core promises of cloud—such as enabling product-oriented organisations, facilitating End-to-End accountability, managing vast data volumes, and mitigating obsolescence. But we’ll also challenge the narrative: Are companies really freeing themselves to focus on innovation, or are they becoming dependent on cloud providers in ways that could limit future flexibility? How does the cloud reshape operating models, and are we prepared for the long-term consequences of handing over infrastructure control?Key Themes for Reflection:The Evolution of Cloud: How has cloud technology evolved, and what assumptions did we make that need revisiting today?Operational Impact: Is cloud truly enabling businesses to shift toward product-centric, agile models, or are we merely shifting operational burdens without addressing core inefficiencies?Data and Control: While cloud offers scalable solutions for managing data, are businesses losing too much control over their most critical assets?Obsolescence vs. Dependency: Does cloud really help manage obsolescence, or are organisations simply exchanging outdated infrastructure for potential dependency on vendors?The Future of Innovation: Has cloud delivered the innovation boost we expected, or are businesses still struggling to leverage its full potential in a rapidly changing landscape?This event offers a chance to critically reflect on what the cloud has done—and what it hasn’t. Join us as we take a fresh look at the cloud’s true role in business transformation and consider the next steps for digital leaders navigating this complex terrain.

Con l’AI e l’automazione che ridefiniscono i settori, anche il modo in cui lavoriamo, apprendiamo e cresciamo sta cambiando. Questo evento esplora a fondo il panorama in evoluzione della forza lavoro, concentrandosi su come l’AI possa potenziare i dipendenti piuttosto che sostituirli. Approfondiremo le strategie per migliorare e aggiornare le competenze dei dipendenti, promuovere una cultura dell’innovazione e sfruttare la potenza dell’AI per aumentare produttività e soddisfazione sul lavoro. Affrontando le implicazioni etiche dell’IA sul posto di lavoro ed esplorando il potenziale della collaborazione tra uomo e AI, puntiamo a fornire alle organizzazioni strumenti per navigare nelle complessità dell’era dell’AI e affermarsi come leader nell’era digitale.

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.
