Have You Heard? Tim Cook Is Stepping Down as CEO of Apple?

Well, here's the thing: the real issue isn't who's leaving, but what gets left behind.

Tim Cook is handing over the wheel to John Ternus not during calm waters, but in the midst of a serious technological breakdown. The standard problem when legendary leaders step aside from their posts? Large corporations either lose their identity or get stuck in bureaucratic gridlock. Apple investors and fans are asking themselves: can the company maintain its standards after growing market value from $350 billion to $4 trillion under Cook's watch?

While Apple played it cautious, competitors made their move in artificial intelligence, transforming the entire industry. Despite record revenue of $416 billion, the company found itself playing catch-up in the defining technological trend of the decade. A few Mac updates and the launch of iPhone Air simply won't cut it anymore if Apple wants to stay on top.

The choice of 50-year-old John Ternus - exactly the same age Cook was when he stepped into the CEO role - is a strategic move steeped in what I'd call "engineering DNA." Ternus has spent roughly 25 years at Apple, leading hardware engineering through the successful evolution of Mac, iPad, and AirPods. His appointment signals a shift from Cook's "operational excellence era" to what I believe will be an "accelerated technology implementation era."

Succession at Apple isn't just about maintaining financial metrics. It's about whether the company can leverage that accumulated $4 trillion in capital to stop playing it safe and lead the artificial intelligence arms race.

The question that keeps me up at night? Will Ternus become Apple's answer to Steve Jobs in the AI age, or will the company continue down its "safe growth" path?

I'm genuinely curious what you think. Drop your thoughts in the comments.

We still build BIM models… just to turn them into PDFs?

The digital twin market is expected to grow from 21 to 149 billion dollars by 2030, but most buildings remain “mute” once they are commissioned.
The problem is not the technology.
The problem is that BIM usually stops at handover.
The FM team gets a static snapshot, not a living model.

What we have today:
BMS (Building Management System) – the system that controls the building’s MEP: HVAC, lighting, energy use, security.
ERP – the company’s financial and logistics backbone: finance, procurement, contracts, HR, inventory.
CAFM (Computer Aided Facility Management) – software for facility management: spaces, assets, work orders, moves, room bookings.
IoT – sensors measuring temperature, humidity, occupancy, vibration, equipment condition, and more.

All of this lives in silos. Data is duplicated, integrations are fragile and manual, and there is very little true predictive insight.
In this context, the Autodesk Tandem and Globant partnership looks like an attempt to finally stitch design and operations together.

Globant has been named an official Autodesk Tandem Digital Twin Solution Provider for airports, smart buildings, logistics, and manufacturing, taking responsibility for integrating Tandem with BMS, ERP, CAFM, and IoT at an enterprise scale.

Real case:
Denver International Airport uses the Autodesk stack (Forma, Revit, Civil 3D, Tandem) to reconstruct one of the world’s busiest airports without shutting it down.

The digital twin lets the team see how design changes will impact passenger flows, building systems, and operations before construction, and then provides a single source of truth for all departments during operations.

What this means in practice:
a shift from static BIM models to real‑time asset intelligence;
projects like Denver show that you can deploy a digital twin on an asset that cannot afford a single day of downtime;
a move toward Physical AI, where the twin does not just collect data but actively suggests what to optimize: maintenance schedules, gate allocation, energy consumption... more read in comments.

Real projects in 2025–2026 already report noticeable reductions in operating costs and fewer change orders during construction when digital twins are used.
If you manage an asset portfolio, run an engineering firm, or build integrations, it is worth asking:
is your current ecosystem (data, models, BMS/ERP/CAFM/IoT) ready for this step?

Share in the comments if you see demand for digital twin as a service in your projects – and which airports or infrastructure assets you believe are ready to follow Denver’s path.

How many times has BIM remained just a "decorative addition" to tender documentation?

Within the Centralny Port Komunikacyjny (CPK) program, the risk of such a scenario is significantly reduced: here, every digitalization goal is decomposed into specific BIM Use Cases.

In my new article, I analyze what the client will actually demand in the EIR (Exchange Information Requirements): from 3D coordination and VR validation to complex 6D simulations and data preparation for Asset Management. Learn how to properly reflect these tasks in your BEP (BIM Ex*****on Plan) so that digital goals become the reality of your daily workflow.

Need help preparing a similar expert summary of requirements tailored to your project role? Feel free to send me a message.

How many times in your career has the acronym BIM (Building Information Modeling) remained just a decorative addition to tender documentation, never evolving into actual design tools?

The founder of Microsoft.
A transparent film.
A marker.

I was watching Bill Gates’ latest video about clean energy and the rising electricity demand by 2050 — powerful message, important topic.

But what stopped me wasn’t the data. It was the moment he placed a transparent sheet on a light table and started drawing by hand.

And I couldn’t help but laugh — and think.
It threw me back almost 20 years. When I was a junior engineer, my chief specialist used to sketch every project on paper, never touched CAD, and passed it to me for digitizing. We called it “old school.”

Now, decades later, watching Bill Gates — the man who literally built the digital world — sketching with a marker on film feels… surreal.

Is hand‑drawing a timeless form of creative thinking?
Or is it the most ironic image in tech history?

Maybe both.

Because even in the era of AI, BIM, and computational design, some of the brightest minds still reach for a marker when it’s time to think.

And that says something — about creativity, about habit, and about how far we’ve truly come.

Part 4. How to manage data when a project integrates an airport terminal and a railway network?

The scale of CPK demands more than just cloud storage—it requires a rigid information architecture. In the fourth part of this series, I break down the mechanics of working within CDE and EDMS: from the file lifecycle under ISO 19650 to mandatory naming conventions and data statuses. I explore how the alignment of PIR, EIR, and BEP transforms model exchange into a managed production process.

How do you synchronize processes when a project simultaneously encompasses an airport terminal, railway infrastructure, and their interconnected digital data flows? In the context of CPK, I view this not merely as an IT integration task, but as the challenge of building a managed information archite

$6M for an «Algorithmic Defect»: Why the Verdict Against Meta and Google Ends the «Wild West» in IT

For over 15 years, I’ve spearheaded B2B/B2C growth for global software leaders like Autodesk, Bentley Systems, Trimble, and Hexagon. To me, software is a complex engineering system where every component carries responsibility.

In parallel, I’ve spent years defending my consumer rights, successfully taking on corporations in court without a lawyer. This experience allows me to see the "hidden side" of IT products: not just the code and marketing, but the legal risks within their architecture. It is at the intersection of these two roles that I see the Los Angeles court decision as a fundamental shift in the very concept of developer liability.

The core of the 20-year-old Kaylee’s case against Meta and Google lies in a brilliant legal maneuver. The plaintiffs moved the debate from the dead-end of "free speech" and moderation into the realm of strict product liability.

Now, recommendation algorithms are not a platform's "opinion" but a functional tool. The court classified them as having a "design defect," effectively equating addictive algorithms to faulty brakes in a car. This is the first major crack in Big Tech’s "immunity shield."

As a leader who has launched regional operations for tech giants, this precedent underscores the critical importance of architectural transparency. The court found evidence of intent: corporations recognized the mental health risks to minors but continued to use addictive mechanics for profit. The $6M award is a clear signal to the market: the "Profit over Safety" formula is no longer a viable strategy.

My prediction: we are entering the era of Product Safety by Design. The tech sector will be forced to implement algorithmic safety audits at the design stage to mitigate the risk of "harmful by design" claims.

The global trend is already here: Australia is banning social media for under-16s, and Europe is discussing fines of up to 6% of turnover for access to potentially harmful mechanics. Regulators now have a legal precedent that turns theoretical risks into proven torts.

The era when software was treated as an intangible asset exempt from manufacturer liability is over. Now, the safety of your solution - whether it’s a cloud platform or an AI algorithm - must be as defensible in court as any physical consumer good. Those who continue to ignore ethics for the sake of engagement metrics risk being next in line for multi-million dollar lawsuits.

Will the concept of "Safety by Default" stifle innovation, or will it finally force the market to create truly high-quality and responsible products?

And a timely question for the thread: does LinkedIn itself cause professional addiction?

Як приручити динамічне ТЗ: кросгалузевий досвід масштабування проектів.

Прийняв участь в цікавому обговоренні щодо масштабування проектів.

Так, на жаль, плани та ТЗ проектів майже ніколи не має можливості розглядати без коригування бюджетів. Це велика майстерність оновити ТЗ та залишити бюджет, проте це спрацьовує лише до певних масштабів. Навіть кращі з нас не здатні на диво: неможливо додати до проекту нові роботи, та/або збільшити час виконання без додаткового бюджету.

Я понад 15 років займаюся розвитком та впровадженням технологій CAD/BIM/DigitalTwin | IoT/VR | AI для різних галузей.
Значний час я приділив будівельній галузі. І як раз процесс будівництва потерпає від змін в процесі: колізії, затримки, помилки - і все це гроші.
Серед рішень які застосовуються - це 4D, 5D,... симуляція процесів які відбуваються на будівництві, таким чином є можливість отримати бачення всіх вузьких місьць і внести усі зміни ще до початку процесу будівництва.

За час свого досвіду я звик застосовувати перехрестні методи не лише для розвитку бізнесу алей для застосування технологій.
Так наприклад, я запропонував застосовувати інструмент будівельної симуляції для агро галузі:
https://youtu.be/jnNHJDR6Z64?is=ynM3p-fHPNopbXh5

Можливо саме цей інструмент симуляції не вийде застосовувати до IT проектів, але вважаю, що сам принцип та методологія заслуговує на увагу.
