Speaking at TOC Europe 2019, Jean-Paul Rodrigue said that competing platforms will eventually become \u201ccounterproductive\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are eventually going to need to have some kind of communal operating system,\u201d he said. There is a very big power gain in the background surrounding this.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that the more parties involved in digitalisation the more risk there is. \u201cThe more you put actors into the system, the more you increase exponentially the complexity, the more something can go wrong. That\u2019s the problem with digitalisation, it creates by itself new forms of risk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Using the example of vehicles, he said he noticed a growing number of cars being sent for repair because of defective IT and sensors. He noted it\u2019s not because the vehicle breaks down mechanically. It\u2019s because the IT that is supporting it, or a sensor, is down and that creates problems. \u201cThis is big risk and we don\u2019t know how big this is, we\u2019ll find out,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
