Meet Oleg Shilovitsky: 7 Questions

Have you ever thought about what folksonomy, mashups and robotic swarms have to do with . . . product lifecycle management?

Oleg Shilovitsky has. He churns out regular think tank-like thoughts and chats on such matters in his blog PLM Twine. Word’s getting out in the blogosphere about this goodness, yet we know little about the man behind it. I thought you might like to meet him.

Oleg and I both work for Dassault Systèmes, but we’ve never met in real-life. He’s in Boston on the ENOVIA side and I’m in France at headquarters. Since everyone’s traveling less these days, I organized a visio conference with Oleg so I could “meet” and interview him for 3D Perspectives.

Here’s what I asked:

1. How’d he get involved in PDM/PLM?
2. What does he do at work (besides blogging)?
3. Which blog topic does he prefer?
4. What’s PLM’s biggest challenge?
5. What’s the solution?
6. What does Innovation mean?
7. What inspires him?

Best,

Kate

P.S. Here’s another Oleg interview you might enjoy, this time focusing on ENOVIA SmarTeam.
