CASE STUDY: DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY AT EDMONTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Copenhagen, 5th August 2019

Scope of work

Edmonton International Airport engaged with Copenhagen Optimization to create a Digital Transformation Strategy aimed at taking Edmonton to the forefront of innovative airport solutions and meet the needs of the passengers – now and in the future.

“CopOpt began by carrying out a Digital Maturity Assessment, appraising current processes and digital readiness at EIA across fifteen different business areas. They looked at where we have staff strengths and where we need to invest, so that our staff can really run a digital airport. Their recommendations were tangible and provided an action plan for digitalization”

―Traci Bednard, VP, Digital, Edmonton International Airport

 

The approach

The approach taken focused on involving all stakeholders at the airport and ensuring ownership. The current digital maturity assessed, key priorities identified, and an overarching strategy to digitalization developed. The final approach consists of a range of tangible initiatives and, in an everchanging technological reality, a process for continuously prioritizing what initiatives are likely to generate the most benefits for Edmonton.
