Real work, grouped by service.

Each entry leads with the problem the client came in with, what we built, and what changed. Some work shown was produced through Kristina's maritime practice.

Blueprint

Harbour cruise and ferry operator, AI Blueprint

Harbour cruise and passenger ferry operator. 500 staff, 22 vessels, 38 active systems across 9 departments, with an ownership transition in progress.

OutcomeLeadership left knowing what to act on now, what to hold until after the transition, and what to bring to the incoming owner as a documented plan. Before this work the inefficiencies were felt; afterwards they could be named, mapped and handed over.
