Poll Results from Previous Vibe Check:
Below are the results from the vibe check poll I ran in Digest # O last month. I realised later that some of the newsletter didn’t reach to your inbox; as I screw up some view settings - my bad. In case you missed, here’s → Digest # 0 with the missing content.

Competence Framework
In Digest # 0, I talked about the IT-OT automation stack and its importance and relevance to building a competence framework for the next generation of IT & OT professionals, whether they are Solution Architects and or Security Architects.
Also shared some initial thoughts on the coverage across the project lifecycle stages.
I’ll cover some more on this in Digest # 2 next month on possibilities for an asset owner to build a competence framework for industry 4.0, cybersecurity and AI for their workforce.
