The Hyper-Converged City - Pt 1: The Phygital Frontier

MWGrigs Leadership Series - Let's talk! https://www.mwgrigs.com/contact Will your city's technology environment be ready for 2030? Cities are currently navigating the new terrain of the Phygital Frontier—a hyper-converged reality where the modern city has become a single, unified fabric of hardware and software where traditional edges and boundaries have become indistinguishable from one another. In this landscape, a vulnerability in a streetlight or water sensor is no longer an isolated mechanical failure, but an open doorway into a city’s digital environment. As we race toward the 2030 horizon, virtually every physical asset will soon carry a digital heartbeat. This is not a future possibility—this is our current reality! We must move beyond being mere stakeholders and embrace being empowered, commissioned stewards of our technology ecosystems. In this episode, Mike Grigsby is joined by guests Terry Yates, owner of Centanni Global Partners and retired CTO, Town of Cary, NC, and Dean Cunningham, Public Safety Business Development Manager, Axis Communications, to discuss how municipal leaders can narrow the technology readiness gap by prioritizing strategic governance, long-term outcomes, and comprehensive digital security. Throughout the video, host Mike Grigsby poses several questions, worthy of deep consideration, to help unpack the complexities, challenges, risks, and opportunities of "The Readiness Gap": [01:40]: What is the Phygital Frontier [08:15]: How are cities moving toward a unified Operational Technology (OT) architecture [12:45]: The convergence of IT/OT is redefining what Public Safety means [15:55]: How cities can begin to create a common language between IT and OT [19:05]: Navigating the "Integration Tax" [20:55]: Beginning to build partnerships between IT and OT [24:37]: The "integration Tax" is burden for industry as well as for cities [29:20]: Subject Matter Experts can be your greatest champions or challenges [31:00]: How to keep executive decision-makers informed on technology progression [38:00]: Recognizing that digital infrastructure is as critical as physical infrastructure *[39:05]: Teasing out executive level blindspots [43:04]: Greatest challenge and opportunity for cities from the IT/OT convergence *[45:30]: Greatest challenge and opportunity for the emerging technology itself *[50:48]: Lighting Round: By 2030 what will be the "killer" phygital standard == If you have more questions for the guests, please reach out and connect with them: • Tery Yates | https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-c-yates/ • Dean Cunningham | https://www.linkedin.com/in/dean-cunningha... | www.axis.com == Mike Grigsby has served in multiple public sector CIO roles and is now serving as a technology consultant and executive advisor, helping organizations navigate the challenges of change and digital disruption.
