Peggy says technologies like nanosensor and digital twin are at the forefront of 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26. She says this will fundamentally change how we deliver a circular economy and shares how the technologies will come together for sustainability—in both rural and urban areas. She also discusses: A project that uses nanosensors to track deforestation and pollution. How digital twin technology can decarbonize the built environment. Her thoughts on what needs to happen next. peggysmedleyshow.com (11/9/21 – 745) IoT, Internet of Things, Peggy Smedley, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, digital transformation, cybersecurity, blockchain,…
Peggy and Yossi Sheffi, professor, MIT, talk about the supply chain difficulties today and his most recent book The New (Ab)Normal. He says the experience of writing the book was weird—like writing a history book while history is unfolding. They also discuss: The biggest problem with the supply chain today that needs to be solved. Why demand is high and supply can’t catch up. The bullwhip effect on the supply chain and how to address it. sheffi.mit.edu (11/9/21 – 745) IoT, Internet of Things, Peggy Smedley, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, digital transformation, cybersecurity, blockchain, 5G cloud, sustainability, future…
Peggy and Varsha Bhave, Projectmates, discuss better ways to manage project risk in construction. She says each phase needs individual and specific skillsets to detect and mitigate it and explains the importance of realtime analytics and dashboards, which makes it easier to predict the risk and analyze the risk. They also discuss: How predictive analytics gives us a window in the future and why it is critical in construction. The importance of understanding the projects that work well and the projects that didn’t work well in order to create project controls and benchmarks A specific example of how artificial intelligence…
With the average cost of IT downtime roughly $5,600 per minute, Peggy digs into a Honeywell survey of facility managers and shares her thoughts on how to become more resilient in business. She also discusses: How many facility managers have experienced at least one disruptive incident during the last 12 months. Why resiliency and sustainability are no longer nice-to-haves. What to do next to best prepare for IT downtime. peggysmedleyshow.com (11/2/21 – 744) IoT, Internet of Things, Peggy Smedley, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, digital transformation, cybersecurity, blockchain, 5G cloud, sustainability, future of work, podcast
Peggy and Greys Sosic, professor, USC Marshall School of Business, talk about overarching challenges impacting the supply chain. She says in the last several decades we have seen the supply chain trying to become more efficient—and it was great as long as it was working and didn’t have any big disruptions.
