  1. Setting up a new business with employees and contractors with all associated administration takes it’s time. Delayed, but not critical.

  2. Lack of needed contracts is paramount in majority of productions and we need to manage this area to be on the safe side. (Legal, HR, Sales, IT and Production). On track and updates on its way.

  3. Utilization right now is to low, therefore we need to improve our sales process and implement an easy to use CRM-system to track sales and measure KPI’s (Sales and IT) New system configured and migration of data and data cleansing in progress.

  4. We also need to be better at marketing and communication to reach new clients in prioritized customer segments & product categories (Marketing & communication) CRM system in place but no process defined, yet.

  5. We need a better tracking of who have participated in which production and in with which role. We have a need for a common register that follows our Architecture Principles and our future infrastructure. New production system in place, but lots of manual data entry remains.

  6. We need methods and IT-solutions for better estimation and planning of productions in deployment and pre-production (Production and IT) New production system in place, but workflow needs to be improved and integrated to CRM.

  7. Better workflow in post production using new and/or other tools in both post production and earlier. This us very much sector specific IT-solutions like NLE’s etc. (Production and IT). Not started.

  8. Implement KPI’s for GDPR. (Everywhere) Not started

  9. Better risk management when running productions than the film business have today (Sales, Production and Management) Not started

Other goals was break even for 2019 and a small profit for 2020. So far according to plan.
