Corresponding to her formal education, the main interest of Dr. Anniken Karlsen is digital transformation from a holistic enterprise perspective and the impact of digitalization on society. The interest fields spans Technology Strategy, Corporate Governance, Change Management and Service Innovation with related areas, e.g. Enterprise Modeling, Digital Leadership, Business Analysis, Business Architecture, Enabling Technologies, Process Improvement and Project and Portfolio Management.  

Karlsen has done empirical research within a range of sectors, such as the maritime, the marine, offshore, food, health, consultancy and banking. She has participated in the SmallBuild+ EUREKA Eurostar research project, addressing survival and growth within the construction sector. Corresponding to the latter, a special interest is SMEs and their engagement in research activities, motivated by their great importance to the European Economy.  A main goal is to contribute strategic ICT skills, improvement tools and techniques  for increased financial sustainability. 

In addition to doing research, development and lecturing at the intersection of technology and organizational development, Karlsen, among others, participates in the management team of ExcITEd (Centre for Excellent IT Education) and TEFT, in the WeLead leadership program for women in computer science and is Chairman of NOKOBIT. Among others she is interested in arts and computer game applications development to increase student motivation.
