On Monday, November 17, MondayLive, we had a great discussion about the power and necessity of the ability to decompose and compose in open clouds. I wanted to capture the essence of this presentation.

From last week’s MondayLive summary, these words
Your Takeaway: Start Composing, Not Building
The collective wisdom from the discussion provides a clear and actionable roadmap:
- Start with a Use Case, Not a Technology: Identify a specific business problem—energy, maintenance, tenant experience—and let that guide your first step.
- Think Plural: Plan for a team of specialized, interoperable digital twins, not a single, all-powerful one.
- Focus on Data Flow: Prioritize unlocking and standardizing your data above all else. This is the bedrock of composition.
- Aim for Simulation: Keep the high-value goal of predictive modelling and scenario testing in sight as your ultimate competitive advantage.
By letting go of the monolithic monster, we can embrace a future where digital twins are practical, powerful, and profoundly helpful. Stop building the beast and start conducting your digital symphony.

Once we decomposed each system into its data, structure, and relationships, the building’s information became modular and reusable. A sensor stream could trigger a work order. A PV anomaly can trigger a comparison to utility draw. Once we decomposed the silos, we could recompose the systems to produce new insights and actions.
