Investing in AI is one thing. Getting an entire group to move in the same direction is something else entirely—and that was exactly where HAKI Safety found itself.

Challenge: lack of alignment around AI and digitalization

A lack of alignment across both the organization and the board when it came to AI and digitalization. HAKI Safety AB is a European group operating across multiple countries, with relatively independent subsidiaries. The group includes both manufacturing of its own products, distribution of safety equipment, and digital solutions. Several acquisitions have been completed over the past two years, with a clear ambition to double revenue to SEK 2 billion within a two-year period.

Solution: workshops connecting AI to business value

• Workshops with the extended management team, including:
  • Preparatory interviews with key stakeholders to understand the current state
  • Practical AI inspiration through real industrial use cases, identifying where digitalization can deliver the greatest business value
  • Group exercises to prioritize digital initiatives based on business impact and build a shared understanding of how digitalization can drive efficiency and new opportunities
  • Joint prioritization and reflection to establish a unified direction
• The board: AI inspiration combined with a presentation of management’s conclusions and recommendations for next steps.

Result: a shared direction and prioritized roadmap

Alignment across the group, with a clear and prioritized digitalization roadmap now defined and being executed.
