While Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) initiatives often focus on new product development and the use of PMI (Product and Manufacturing Information), the vast majority of active programs—especially in aerospace, defense, and manufacturing supply chains—are legacy systems not designed for digital-first operations. In this session, Michel Gadbois will explore what MBE truly means for the 90% of programs that aren’t undergoing redesign. Attendees will learn practical strategies to extract maximum value from existing models and data, bridge gaps between traditional practices and digital aspirations, and prepare their organizations for a future where data-driven execution is critical. Whether you’re a major OEM, a family-owned manufacturer, or a standards developer, this session will provide actionable insights into making MBE work today—without waiting for tomorrow’s perfect redesign.
