More and more organizations are becoming data companies. Only, organizing data can be much more efficient. For example, we spend more than 35 percent of our time in the office unnecessarily. The "Digital Loop" reduces digital and human waste.
'Work Less, Achieve More'
Under the slogan "Work Less, Achieve More," Twice is launching in September - together with the Weconomics Foundation - the (non-technical) apprenticeship program "The Digital Loop" with a strong focus on design and organizational development. This apprenticeship program is suitable for anyone who wants to learn more about deploying new data technologies in the digital transition of their enterprise. And for students who want to graduate on this topic.
What does data technology mean for your organization?
Experts agree: what the physical assembly line did in factories, the "Digital Assembly Line" is going to do in offices. It is being shaped by disruptive data technologies, such as blockchain, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, rich data and data journalism. And their impact on organizations is significant: costs fall sharply, lead times shorten and the quality of information improves. Halving office work within one generation is not a pipe dream. A conservative estimate shows that we spend more than 2.3 billion hours unnecessarily in offices each year. That's more than 35 percent per person.
New generation of digital leaders
The apprenticeship program "The Digital Loop" aims to: shape the new generation of digital leaders, designers and developers, by making full use of the technological possibilities of blockchain, IOT and AI.
Program content
The (non-technical) apprenticeship program has a strong focus on design and organizational development.

Step by step you will learn what true digital transformation is:
- Digital Waste Assessment: how much digital waste does your organization have?
- Community Model Canvas: how to collaborate smartly in a consortium.
- Digital Assembly Line: how do I set up a digital assembly line?
- Community Building Simulation: how do you set up a project with parties with conflicting interests?
- Blockchain Simulation Games: experience blockchain by doing it.
- Blockchain, rich data and data logistics: what is it and what can I do with it?
- Harvard Case Method: put yourself in the role of innovation manager
Students and industry work together on concrete practical tasks, constantly sharing knowledge and taking it a step further. In short, several innovative partners with a shared ambition at a unique location on the TU/e Campus.

BrainBloC the starter motor of 'The Digital Loop'
With the apprenticeship program "The Digital Loop," digital and therefore human waste is countered. This provides space for corporate social responsibility. The program is part of a new concept of Twice in hub Twinning on the TU/e Campus: BrainBloC.
Within BrainBloC, we pay attention to disruptive data technologies, such as blockchain, internet of things. The focus is not on blockchain technology per se, but on the impact of a crucial new general purpose technology (technologies that can affect an entire economy) to unlock and link reliable data. The broad adoption of this technology requires "thinking and doing differently" through a thorough learning work program with concrete use cases and outcomes.
BrainBloC is unique because it focuses on fundamental new insights created by projecting the capabilities of blockchain and AI technology onto concrete use cases. This leads to fundamentally different insights into organizational and business models, in order to then design them digitally. There is no other place in Brainport where this knowledge is brought together in this way. In addition, BrainBloC offers an educational alternative by looking at modern issues from a different approach, using new technology as a starting point.
BrainBloC is the starter motor of the "Digital Loop" that puts Brainport in motion.
