In this podcast we discuss the challenge of Transforming Infrastructure Performance through accelerating our use of data and the Internet of Things (IOT). It’s a concept which having been tabled by the UK Government’s Infrastructure and Projects Authority, is now, without question, top of mind for every cash-strapped public and private asset owner and operator looking to close the gap between outcome aspiration and resource reality.

As I have reflected before, the future of our built environment depends on doing more with less but also on achieving better economic and social outcomes. The pressure to create more sustainable solutions is growing as legally binding net zero emissions target bear down, and the need to protect our natural environment grows.
To achieve these goals it is clear that the global infrastructure sector must radically shift its thinking and in particular ramp investment in digitalisation to embrace the power of new data analysis technologies an artificial intelligence and IOT to accelerate towards the vital change.

To discuss this complex challenge, I am joined today by Meredith Hodgman, Policy Lead, for the Internet of Things Alliance in Australia. Meredith joined me recently in Singapore at the 2023 Transforming Infrastructure Performance summit hosted by Bentley Systems where she chaired the event and provided great insight and wisdom into the power of digitalisation.
