Barklav’s Digital Transformation – is referring to how technology is changing the manning business pattern enabling us for a continuous adaptation to the constantly changing business environment.

Through the Digital Transformation we are aiming to leverage the technology potential to reduce costs by automating those identified processes which have a high level of routine.

Barklav’s Digital Initiatives – is aiming to develop digital competence and collaboration among company’s employees, redesign the business processes to be more adaptable and agile to meet the constant changing demands, ensuring customer’s transparency and responsiveness and create premises for enacting a new business model.

The New Approach to the Maritime Workforce: The technology will not only disrupt the traditional organizations but will also impact the workforce and since the economy is more and more “on-demand” we are also expecting the same principle to be applied to the manpower creating the so-called “workforce on-demand”. We are closely working with the universities and our Clients in identifying potential superior competence and skills to be developed in order to meet the market future demands. The more highly advanced ships will hit the water near future, the more “on-demand” combined skilled workforce required and this might spawn a new generation business model.
