A Helsinki-based startup company
Product
Integration of knowledge assets and AI technologies for digital business design
Projects experience
1. Decision support reference system for smart city experts and program managers
Problem
2. Knowledge graph development for the automotive company
Problem
3. Ontology development for Social Sciences research data integration
Problem
Problem
- Scattered knowledge about the city information systems and resources, as well as their application in city processes
- Risks of resource duplication during informatization (money, time of employees and citizens)
- City enterprise architecture model (description of city business and IT architecture) was developed
- Decision support reference system for smart city experts and program managers was created
- These resulted in more informed decision making and digital transformation planning
2. Knowledge graph development for the automotive company
Problem
- Finding and choosing possible assembly units at the stage of electric vehicles design was time consuming and costly
- Knowledge graph for assembly units was developed and established the foundation for engineering recommender system
3. Ontology development for Social Sciences research data integration
Problem
- Search and integration of empirical research datasets is time consuming and costly
- Ontologies of subject areas used as a knowledge graph schema have been developed
- Empirical research datasets are integrated semantically in a knowledge graph
1. IT strategy and transformation program development for the construction company
Problem
2. Transformation of the maintenance management division within pulp and paper manufacturer
Problem
Problem
- Management system in the organization was not effective
- Lack of IT utilization within the management system
- IT strategy and transformation program were developed
- Enterprise modeling was used for knowledge integration, systematization and analysis of work results
- Heat maps were used for analysis and planning
2. Transformation of the maintenance management division within pulp and paper manufacturer
Problem
- Equipment reliability dropped dramatically, breakdowns happened often and that resulted in unplanned equipment downtime increase
- The maintenance system reengineering project was carried out (including business and IT architecture)
- The overall effects of the project — the tendency for the unplanned equipment downtime to keep growing has been reversed

2. Competency model development and role profiling for enterprise architecture management department
Problem
- Skill/competency gaps are not defined
- Employee development is not systemic
- Risks of knowledge loss are not mitigated
- Competency model for enterprise architecture function was created
- Role profiles for enterprise architecture department were developed

1. Competency model development and role profiling for enterprise architecture management department
Problem
2. Competency mapping for the aerospace company
Problem
3. Knowledge mapping for the business school
Problem
Problem
- Skill/competency gaps are not defined
- Employee development is not systemic
- Risks of knowledge loss are not mitigated
- Competency model for enterprise architecture function was created
- Role profiles for enterprise architecture department were developed
2. Competency mapping for the aerospace company
Problem
- Search and preservation of unique knowledge assets are limited, because of the lack in understand of strong and weak points in organizational knowledge
- The taxonomy of industry-specific competencies was developed, including the taxonomies of products and activities
- The competency mapping method and tool were suggested and tested within the company
3. Knowledge mapping for the business school
Problem
- Intellectual potential of the business school is not clearly defined, it is hard to assess whether the business school is able to develop any specific new course and do any consulting/expert work within certain timeframe
- Knowledge maps were created, which describe the main fields of competencies of faculty in three dimensions (3D): research, teaching and consulting
- Faculty expertise dashboards were created and tested
Product experience
A solution for city transformation with pre-installed knowledge base, which collects and organizes digital city planning knowledge into a knowledge graph that will enable knowledge services for city development managers. The solution hypotheses were tested via interviews with city representatives (Helsinki, Espoo, Turku, Oulu), a research pilot project with TIB Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology, and discussed at the Conference on Digital Curation Technologies (Qurator 2022) — "Application of Knowledge Graphs for Creating a Library of Reusable Knowledge in the Smart City Domain".

A solution for helping team leaders in the digitalization planning area to manage the team's competencies. The MVP of this solution was tested within a pilot project with the IT department of a large mining company. Some ideas and components of the solution were tested at the Semantics 2022 conference — "Skills knowledge graph curation: the case of digitalization design domain".
