Digital Built Forum (DBF)

In this episode of the DBA podcast we share the second session from the inaugural Digital Twin Live leadership summit, hosted by TEMPO Institute on 14 May 2024.

In this session you will hear from government Digital Twin leaders representing Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.

The goal of the session was to explore Australia as a Digital Twin nation. Is this a fanciful idea? Do we have the policy, incentives, investment and industry capabilities to deliver, and exploit this opportunity as a nation?

Let’s discuss what our States and Territories are doing, and what it means for Australia.

In this episode of the DBA podcast we share the first session from the inaugural Digital Twin Live leadership summit, hosted by TEMPO Institute on 14 May 2024.

This first session was a one-on-one with Frankie Carroll, CEO of Suburban Rail Loop Authority in Victoria, Australia.

The discussion was titled 'Build Big; Digital Dreams' and saw DBA co-host Adam Beck walk thorugh Fankie's career history asking questions and eliciting reactions to what is an impressive resume filled with investment banking, infrastructure planning and mega-project delivery roles.

In our first of many interviews about 'the person', Gavin interviews Dr Mark Bew MBE - CEO and Chairman. Mark has been one of the driving forces over the past 20 years in the UK around digital built construction.

The interview tracks Mark's life growing up and his passion for engineering, digital construction, harnessing inspiration from data and of course his other love - sailing. Mark shares lessons learned from his career for the next generation of digital built leaders, and offers some insights for the industry for the mid-term future.

Well, if you've been looking for a technical exploration of the why, what and how of master data management for your Digital Twin - look no further!

In this episode Gavin sit's down with Rennie Chadwick (Global Leader Transport & Mobility) from Cohesive based in London, to hear about his experience in developing foundational master data management systems for Digital Twins on mega projects.

Welcome to Season 3 of the DBA podcast.

In this first episode we tackle one of the most wicked of crises currently relevant to all disciplines, industries, cities and nations - climate change.

Joining us is Sarah Kinsela, Partner at Deloitte in Climate Change and Sustainability. But Sarah is not only well versed in the topic of climate, her experience in the built environment spans financial, digital and data transformation as well.

And as a somewhat finance and policy nerd, Sarah is ideally placed to unpack the imminent showdown between Australia's mandatory climate related finacial disclosure requirements, and the built environment's ability and preparedness to access and report the necessary data.

As the year draws to a close Gavin and Adam sit down to review and discuss some key observations they made. They touch on the most recent season of the DBA podcast, where the Digital Twin marketplace is at and what's coming up in 2024.

Thank you to all DBA listeners and subscribers for supporting our efforts at TEMPO Institute.

You know what they say - junk in, junk out. That's why we decided to go deep on data (with a Digital Twin lens) and bring together two of the best in the marketplace - Michelle Teis from GWI and Patrick Bossert from Future Edge Consulting. In this conversation we cover the basics on data-fuelling platforms like Digital Twin, how we need to treat data and where we need to go. The combined experience of our guests for this episode is next level!

Two things were intriguing us at DBA, and we were keen to explore their convergence - PlanTech, and housing.

So we brought together one of Australia's leading PlanTech advisors, Clare Huxley (Gov Partners), with the driving force behind one of the most recent PlanTech success stories in government, Robert Stopajnik (Development Victoria/Digital Twin Victoria).

We hope you enjoy this dialogue on digital built meets housing, and the opportunities we have with embracing PlanTech as a force for good in our cities and communities.

The digital built environment industry has many advocates in Australia, and in Queensland more specifically, Andrew Curthoys is a notable candidate. In this special episode of the DBA podcast Adam and Gavin take the opportunity to get a debrief from Andrew on his many decades helping shape policy and projects within Queensland State Government, and what's on the horizon as he see's it for one of the nation's powerhouse regions when it comes to infrastructure, digital transformation and prosperity.
