Among the participants were representatives from seven leading companies in the industry, who together contributed to a gathering characterized by professional weight and commitment.
Led by Jon Iden, professor at NHH, participants learned about how digitalization can become part of the strategy to strengthen competitiveness and efficiency in seafood companies.
Among the participants were Karina Hjelle, CEO of AS Bolaks, who shared her reflections after the first meeting:
"NCE's Seafood Digital program for senior managers is a good offer for managers in the seafood sector who are facing a digitalization journey. The first day was very useful for gaining an overview of the context and clearing up the terminology so that we are ready for further competence development in the next sessions."
Some highlights from the first session:
💻 Exploring digital strategies that integrate across the entire business
💻 Practical tasks in process modeling – where we identified opportunities to eliminate manual processes and streamline everyday life
💻 An inspiring case presentation from Fana Sparebank by Inge Ådland, who shared concrete success stories about agile development and data-driven management
But digitalization is not just about technology – it’s about using it correctly to achieve results. As Jon Iden so aptly said:
"In our digital age, leaders manage three key resources: labor, capital, and digital technology. Digital leadership is the competent utilization of digital technology to realize business goals."
Thank you to the participants and speakers! We look forward to following the developments through the next modules!
