In the last year, thanks to many live and online presentations, an understanding of what to expect from the Twin has been acquired and the hype is differentiated from reality. Nevertheless, it is not so clear how to make this concept a working system and process which can contribute to the organization's goals while justifying the return on investments through clear outcomes.
