Continue reading →: Innovation and Social LeadershipMy brain is bubbling after the TEDxHelsinki event – a creatively built lineup of innovative speakers. The themes were exactly those I’ve been working on lately: Entrepreneurship, innovation, age & generations, and leadership. So here are random thoughts I’d like to share.

Continue reading →: The Finnish Awesomeness and EntrepreneurshipSomething exceptional is happening here in Finland. However I think that the foundation for that has existed a long time, only to wait its time to come. And it seems that the time is here and now. Let me explain. I am a startup entrepreneur and I am considering myself…

Continue reading →: Systems Intelligence, Serendipity and Listening for the Better DecisionsI’ve earlier blogged about how I find intuition and seeing the value of tacit knowledge to be very interesting perspectives for decision-making. As social business and new ways of working are now changing organizations and the entire business landscape and further adding to the complexity, I’ll find it even more interesting to study decision-making…

Continue reading →: Decision-making: Flipism, Gut Feeling, and Systems IntelligenceThere’s a sea of different theories on decision-making. Most recently I’ve read Dan Ariely’s Predictably Irrational, a very good read. A Disney version of decision-making is flipism. It is a pseudophilosophy under which all decisions are made by flipping a coin. In this 4-minute video, Henry Mintzberg explains his theory…

Continue reading →: Mental Bodybuilding for Knowledge WorkersI stumbled upon a beautiful video about Michael Wolff, an acknowledged British graphic designer. I am not a part of the design professionals’ clan, but his message touched me. I think his way of thinking is applicable to all of us knowledge workers who are trying to cope with the…

Continue reading →: Odottamattomia yhdistelmiä, somea ja johtajaominaisuuksiaHaluan jakaa muutaman tarinan, tarkemmin sanottuna odottamattoman yhdistelmän. Odottamattomista sattumuksista ja mahdollisuuksista olen runoillut aiemminkin: avoimella asenteella, systeemit 1 & 2 käytössä. Niistä voit lukea lisää täältä. Minulla on tapana havainnoida hauskoja, odottamattomia yhdistelmiä, ja nauttia niistä. Kahden minulle rakkaan asian yhdistelmiä. Usein välittömästi hymyilyttäviä ja päivän pelastavia, kuten äidiltäni…

Continue reading →: My Nostalgia Trip to Pre Social BusinessAs part of my unlearning and learning process towards better understanding of Social Business I’ve been thinking back the time I worked for a Swedish Supply Chain Management (SCM) company IBS. Yes, I am recalling the attempts we made in order to build a platform for a global wholesale distribution,…

Continue reading →: Yrittäjä, riko sääntö ja ota riskiYrittäjä ja sisutusarkkitehti Vertti Kivi pokkasi tammikuussa Vuoden Sisustusarkkitehti 2011 -palkinnon. Minulla oli ilo viettää kokonainen viikko Vertin seurassa Esa Saarisen Pafos-seminaarissa. Vertti jakoi viikon aikana monia hyviä ajatuksia ja pyysin häntä kirjoittamaan seminaarivihkooni yhden niistä, hän kirjoitti siihen seuraavat mielenpainuvat sanat: Siellä missä sääntö huomataan – se rikotaan Siellä…

Continue reading →: Social Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, ready for the Social Business?I recently found my old thesis, and yes, some of its topics and content are (still) relevant, as this one: the evolution of organization and work structures. The very same topic Esko Kilpi is researching. The discussion in my old thesis and Esko’s blog posts inspire me to learn more…

Continue reading →: I am a Knowledge Worker and a Serendipity HippieLast weekend I attended Professor Esa Saarinen’s seminar, and as always I was touched and inspired by his thinking. Few days earlier futurist Jarno M. Koponen wrote a beautiful blog post about creative future thinking. Both of these gentlemen touched on a question I’ve been thinking lately: How to be creative…

Years ago I was in Supply Chain Management business, and now my startup is developing a SaaS application for…

Continue reading →: Kiukulla kohti sosiaalista organisaatiotaTapasin some-herätyksen saaneen markkinoijan, jota kovasti kiukutti ”se kun ihmiset eivät ymmärrä missä mennään”. Monelle tuttua. Viestinnän kitkasta, katkoista ja väärinymmärryksistä osa johtuu käyttämästämme kielestä. Ponnistamme kohtaamisissa eri taustoista ja kokemuksista, puhumme eri kieltä ja siksi toisen ymmärtäminen jää joskus puolitiehen. Osa haasteista syntyy työyhteisön siiloutumisesta, tiedonkulun ja yhteistyön heikosta…

I’ve blogged earlier about my favorite topic, tacit knowledge and its role in personal and organizational learning. Francis Ford Coppola’s words took me back…
