Effective January 1,2018, Karl Johan Haarberg was hired. He brings over 30 years of diverse experience, which includes coaching international top executives, as well as providing insight and foresight through various analytics approaches, including analysis, statistics, modeling, artificial intelligence, and visualization. 

Subsequently, we have developed/delivered what we believe to be tomorrow's management solutions.These solutions are delivered through interdisciplinary expertise in business consulting, analytics, technology, and information providers.

 BI Partner has now initiated a collaboration with NTNU to develop future management solutions based on digital twins/siblings. Our hypothesis is that this will enable organizations to establish a comprehensive management solution that includes all levels of the organization—from employees to owners—where everyone receives support to contribute to the organization's success.
