More great insights from Charlotte Haynes on Digital IDs. Read more here:
Great episode from EON and GS1 about digital twins and their supply chain. I like the balance of focus on commercial opportunities as well as compliance. Digital IDs should be seen for their multiple business cases and ROI benefits not solely linked to compliance, from resale to loyalty programmes. "Digital IDs are a cross-departmental initiative that enables internal and external interoperability". I agree with Elyse Tosi, the world of Digital IDs is a "continuously motivating space", one we at Columbus Consulting International are passionate about too and encourage our clients to get started on. Start with the why, build your business cases, and if you need support, we're ready and here for you! John Romeis Charlotte Kula-Przezwanski #DPP #digitalid https://lnkd.in/eZcfCqfY
