Find and broadcast new thinking
Engineering and asset management data is often still organised the way it was decades ago. Meanwhile, ideas that could change how owners and operators work with their data appear in many places, across many industries, and rarely reach the people who could use them.
I4I sets out to find those ideas and give them a stage. Once a month, a global network meets to hear and discuss one carefully selected contribution.
- Truly novelOut-of-the-box thinking, not a repackaged status quo.
- Ready for value realisationIdeas mature enough to apply in real organisations.
- CuratedEvery session is selected and prepared by the organisers.
- No salesPresenters share thinking. Product pitches stay outside.
Format
A monthly network meeting
Each session is an online webinar held in English, with a talk followed by open discussion. The invitation is open to participants from all sectors: energy, utilities, infrastructure, transport, manufacturing, process industry, the public sector and beyond.
Schedule
First session: [DATE AND TIME, to be announced soon, but it is planned for December 2026]
Sessions follow monthly and align with the TCG Webinar Series. Dates and joining details are sent to everyone on the invitation list.
TCG Academy
The academy of Touchless Consulting Group. I4I is run in collaboration with TCG.SE and is aligned with the TCG Webinar Series.
Datakraft
Datakraft curates and presents the sessions, and works with presenters to make each contribution clear and practical.
Background
I4I grew out of work in asset management and asset-intensive industries, where the same plant, network or facility is described again and again in different systems over its whole life cycle.
A recurring theme is data structures aligned with ISO 81346, the international standard for structuring principles and reference designations of industrial systems. A shared structure lets engineering, operations and maintenance data describe the same object in the same way, from the first design to decommissioning.
Not every session is about ISO 81346. It is one of the foundations the network builds on, alongside any idea that improves how asset data is created, connected and used.
