  • Reinventing Industrial Operations: Digital Twins, Agentic Intelligence, and What 2025 Clarified

    Reinventing Industrial Operations: Digital Twins, Agentic Intelligence, and What 2025 Clarified
    Jan 22 2026
    An important lesson emerged in 2025: incremental transformation is no longer enough. In this episode of Bold Agendas, Mimi Brooks is joined by Pieter van Schalkwyk—CEO of XMPRO, author of Building Industrial Digital Twins, and a leader in the Digital Twin Consortium—to explore why today’s operating models are reaching a breaking point. Together, they unpack the systemic pressures reshaping operations—aging infrastructure, rising complexity, talent loss, and unsustainable work models—and why technology alone can’t fix them. From the cognitive burden on frontline workers to the fragility of legacy systems, Pieter makes the case for agentic intelligence, human-centered design, and rethinking productivity itself. It’s a conversation that spans intelligent digital twins, organizational modeling, decision intelligence, and the call to move from experimentation to action.

  • Acceleration as the New Normal: Lessons from 2025 & the New Road Ahead

    Acceleration as the New Normal: Lessons from 2025 & the New Road Ahead
    Dec 18 2025
    As we close out 2025, one thing is clear: this has been a year of acceleration. We saw the promises of AI tested against operational reality, watched composable enterprises take shape, and saw governance, trust, and resilience move from the edges of strategy to its center. In this year-end episode of Bold Agendas, Mimi is joined once again by Frank Diana—global futurist, thought leader, and Managing Partner and Principal Futurist at Tata Consultancy Services—to reflect on what 2025 revealed about the changing nature of transformation and explore what leaders must be prepared for as 2026 begins. It’s a timely conversation about acceptance, acceleration, and adaptability, and a powerful reminder of a new truth: transformation is no longer a destination, but a continuous state of becoming.

  • Recording Reality & Shaping the Future with Nicolas Waern: Digital Twins, AI & the Living Enterprise

    Recording Reality & Shaping the Future with Nicolas Waern: Digital Twins, AI & the Living Enterprise
    Oct 9 2025
    What if your organization wasn’t just digital, but living? In this episode of Bold Agendas, Mimi Brooks is joined by Nicolas Waern, Founder of WINNIIO, CEO and Founder of Life Atlas, and Co-Chair of the Digital Twin Consortium’s Manufacturing Working Group, to explore how digital twins, AI, and platform thinking are redefining the enterprise. Nicolas makes the case that the future of decision-making won’t be driven by prediction, but by rehearsal, simulating thousands of future scenarios before a single action is taken. Together, Mimi and Nicolas unpack why organizations must evolve from rigid hierarchies to modular, living systems; how digital twins become dynamic, decision-making environments; and how the built environment itself becomes intelligent infrastructure for transformation. They explore the shift from data for data’s sake to real-time, context-aware systems that learn, adapt, and scale impact. This conversation will reframe how you think about systems, leadership, and the future of work.
