What is a Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO)?
A Digital Twin of an Organizationis a dynamic digital model of any organization. It guides you to focus on your organization’s strategic objectives and internal processes to increase your overall productivity.
A Digital Twin of an Organization includes:

The digital organization helps you align both new and current employees with the company goals and operations. For instance, for new employees joining the organization, a digital organization should provide an understanding of business operations, performance goals, and overall strategy statements.
