Design-Build Delivers Podcast: ARKANCE on Putting Data Strategy to Work, Part 2

From AI and digital twins to fragmented data, ARKANCE looks at what makes technology useful.

In Part 2 of our conversation with ARKANCE, AI, digital twins and new platforms take center stage but only after one basic question: What problem are you actually trying to solve? In “Bird by Bird: Putting Data Strategy to Work,” Tobias Scheele and Nick Miller of ARKANCE and DBIA’s Brian Skripac move from strategy into practice, tackling technology fatigue, uneven digital maturity, change management and fragmented project data.

Listen to Part 1, Human in the Lead: Building a Better Data Strategy with ARKANCE.
