When I was working in consulting I often observed that as soon as unexpected situations happened people started to get upset or react in panick. For example when a client expressed that she was really unhappy with a project or even got angry, many team members (no matter how long they have been in business) … Continue reading “The gamer’s advantage”
When researching on digital transformation a common question is "is there an ideal organizational format for the digital world?". I think there is not, as long as people do understand how the digital age works and take appropriate action. However, we can observe that the question of how an organization can achieve a higher degree … Continue reading Teal organizations – How to research cultural transformation?
In my current paper project (which will hopefully be the last paper of my dissertation) I am diving into text analytics. I am planning to analyze the strategic priorities and digitalization activities from annual reports of different companies over the course of 10 years. However, since it has been over 10 years since I studied information … Continue reading Getting Back into Text Analytics
The Digital Maturity & Transformation study was initiated in 2014 and we are repeating the survey every year in order to explore how companies approach digital transformation, what activities are more difficult or easier to complete, how different industries compare in the criteria defined.

Summer went by so fast that I combined July and August into one video. July was comparably calm at work, so I enjoyed some sunny days (whenever possible), we went to Munich to meet Layla and my parents, and I took two days off for my birthday. In August we first went to Munich, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, … Continue reading One second everyday – July & August 2016
I just came back from a month-long "workation" that I mostly spent in Tallinn, Estonia and I wanted to share my experiences with coworking and being a digital nomad. Motivation - Why, What, How? As a PhD student you never really have a sense of accomplishment. Unfinished paper projects, new research ideas, and new approaches are … Continue reading Workation Experiences from Tallinn

Prof. Matti Rossi from the Aalto School of Business sent me an invitation … Continue reading Dissertation presentation in Helsinki
