Klaveness

Klaveness' legacy is to challenge status quo and find new ways to improve technology and business models in shipping. In 2018, Klaveness made a bold move, starting a company-wide strategic initiative to make the organization data-driven. Mindshift was contracted to run the programme.

Klaveness' vision was a business where employees combine their in-depth shipping experience with data analytics skills, basing their decisions on facts and relevant analyses. The goals of the programme was to provide access to trustworthy data, lift employees competency, so that they could perform analyses single-handedly and not least establish a culture leading to improved decision making.

Data platform

Mindshift designed and implemented a data platform, based on modern cloud-based ETL tools, cloud-based databases and Azure Data Lake. The platform was established in four months only. It pulls data from a number of sources, transforms the data and make them available for the business through their analysis tools, primarily Power BI.

In order to develop the employees competencies, Mindshift developed and executed a comprehensive learning programme for all employees, including more than 40 on-line courses distributed over 8 learning paths, tailored to different roles and past experience. The on-line courses was supplemented by a series of class-room training sessions, workshops and case assignments, all developed and facilitated by Mindshift.
