Transforming Dead Knowledge into Living Help
Many industries worldwide are digitizing professionals' expertise to boost productivity, enhance collaboration, and improve knowledge sharing. The current spread of increasingly capable AI technologies has accelerated this transformation further. But such changes are not without challenges. This research article explores the challenges of digitization in fire safety based on ethnographic fieldwork at the Danish Institute of Fire and Security Tech…
Dislocated dialogue
Like many other industries worldwide, the Danish architecture, engineering and construction industry is currently undergoing digitisation of knowledge, processes and standards. While digitisation promises great improvements in terms of efficiency and effectiveness, not everyone is convinced that digitisation will always lead to the hoped for benefits. In this article, I explore a number of prominent concerns that Danish fire safety professionals …
Testing relevance and applicability
Purpose Starting from the challenges and implications of doing organizational ethnography within the organization which the researcher is also employed by, the purpose of this paper is to reflect upon the idea of “passing the test” in relation to such ethnographic endeavor. The paper discusses how “collaboration” on projects and in product development processes with colleagues/informants is a precondition for passing “tests,” which unfolded as su…
Dislocating Promises
The aim of this thesis is to produce new anthropological knowledge on the digitization of complex knowledge areas - in this case fire safety in the Danish architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. As the thesis reflects an industrial Ph.D.-process, the aims and success criteria have been both academic as well as commercial and overlap in this thesis. With a vantage point in organizational anthropology, the project has taken grea…
Short-term Anthropology

Quick deadlines, relevance for economic growth, and bigger commercial market shares rarely equal solid anthropology. However, conditions like these are more often than not daily reality for many anthropologists working in the private and public sectors. Through an ethnographic case report this article emphasises the ability to…
