It's such a privilege to work with true professionals.
UPM IT is on a mission to fight trouble with computers with staggering results: Our IT incident tickets count has decreased by 76% in just 6 years!
#transformationtalks series of morning seminars @wartsilacorp has been outstanding. Looking forward to the next round!
Big hand to @TeroHottinen from @Cargotec for sharing his wisdom on #openinnovation and partnering with start-ups and scale-ups with us today at Wärtsilä Helsinki Campus #transformationtalks #stayrelevant

Business gifts are not often remarkable, but a #reflector is a potentially life-saving one in the dark November Helsinki. Thanks #Solita! Will carry it with me until we get the Sun back. That’ll be a while.

My first-ever #AmazonGo purchase. Not paying before leaving is a hard habit to break, I learnt. It was an exciting but a bit odd experience. #Seattle #5thSt

To optimize the search and testing phases of innovation, you need to measure: 🚦 Desirability: Do customers want it? 🚧 Feasibility: Can we build it? 💸 Viability: Does it make financial sense? + ⏳Adaptability: How does it fit into your current model? #innovation #testing

The difference between good and exceptional customer experience is sometimes just a piece of cake. This is the second helping of the tasty raspberry cake I liked, a random act of kindness from a @Finnair crew member onboard PRG-HEL tonight. #thankyou #omnomnom

I'm reading #Joyful by @ingridfetell and paying more attention to my surroundings now. One good example of joyful things around me is my office mouse. Black was the standard, but many years ago IT onsite support surprised me with this pink beauty which I still carry with me.

The XP team I worked on had so few defects that we never had a need for an issue tracker. The rare issue that did arise was addressed immediately. I’ve found that most development organizations find this hard to believe.
Might be a good time, since there’s a conference, to mention that my Agile teams 1998-2004 had ~1 reported defect / 6 months. #Agile2018

Bought a dress from Marimekko online store and was super impressed with the packaging. Totally aligned with the brand image: the box, the paper wrapping, the hanger which was included, the extra gift. Keeping the dress, too. Well done @Marimekkoglobal

We develop visual and user-friendly mobile applications for customers, suppliers, and personnel. For example, by using #UPMMetsäni mobile application the forest owner can have an estimated value of their forest in just a few seconds! #digitalservices #digitaltransformation

4 Innovation myths that need to be busted: 1) Great idea = success 2) Innovation = VERY risky 3) Innovation = VERY expensive 4) Innovation requires technology In particular 2 & 3 are a consequence of doing innovation the wrong way! #leanstartup

Returned my site safety gear today. It’s time to say goodbye. I highly recommend the #construction experience to any digital professional, it does not compare with anything else! I will miss the great spirit and colleagues @NCC_AB @NCCyhtiot #thankyou #pussochkram #hejdå #kiitos
