13:10 Panel and Peers - Digitalizing Offshore Installation – Moving from manual planning and driving a Cultural Shift

Offshore installation remains one of the most complex phases in wind farm development, yet digitalization is lagging. While technology exists, the challenge is cultural too: shifting from a project-by-project mindset to a collaborative approach that embraces data sharing, standardization, and continuous improvement. Planning frequently relies on fragmented or manual tools, monitoring capabilities remain limited, and knowledge transfer between projects is insufficient.
How can the industry overcome resistance to change and adopt workflows that improve efficiency, safety, and transparency? This panel will explore technical gaps, cultural barriers, and practical steps toward true digitalization in offshore installation.
• Why do spreadsheets still dominate offshore installation planning? What technical and cultural obstacles prevent adoption of integrated digital solutions?
• How can real-time process monitoring, AI and data-driven decision-making improve safety, efficiency, and cost control?
• How do we overcome the “project mindset” and ensure knowledge retention?
What role does cultural change play in enabling standardization and back loop communication?
