In our newest Capgemini Research Institute report,&nbsp;<strong><em>Digital Twins: Adding Intelligence to the Real World<\/em><\/strong><em>,&nbsp;<\/em>we surveyed over 1,000 organisations and conducted in-depth interviews with industry executives and academics to understand the technology\u2019s transformative impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found that, on average, organisations working on digital twins have seen a 15% improvement in key sales and operational metrics and an improvement upwards of 25% in system performance. Increasingly aware of the potential gain, organisations plan to increase the deployment of digital twins by 36% on average over the next five years. Digital twins also provide a unique opportunity to reconcile profitable growth and sustainability. Organisations have realized an average improvement of 16% in sustainability owing to the use of digital twins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While interest in digital twin capabilities is high, only 13% of surveyed organisations excel in the six areas of transformation that we identified as key to effective deployment. These frontrunners realize at least 65% higher benefits through increased sales, improved customer satisfaction, reduced costs, and improved sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To evaluate the impact of digital twins and how organisations can implement the technology, our report explores the following five questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are organisations adequately prepared to deal with changing trends?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can digital twins drive higher performance and sustainability?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can digital twins add value throughout the value chain?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which are the organizations that have successfully deployed digital twins?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can organisations accelerate their digital twin journey?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about how digital twins will transform industry,&nbsp;<a
