This week's panel discussion, held alongside the Finland Institute to unveil our new book "Die Digitale Gesellschaft", was packed with energy, forward-thinking ideas, and a shared sense of purpose. It was a fantastic start to an important conversation about digitalising societies, with thought leaders and change-makers sharing valuable insights! 💡 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Rising Need for Digital Literacy – As society digitalises, the demand for strong digital skills is more important than ever to ensure inclusive participation. 2️⃣ Citizen-Centric Approach – We need to shift our thinking to address citizens' needs in the same way we think of customer needs. It’s about understanding what people actually need from digital services, rather than just offering what’s currently available. 3️⃣ Building Trust through Transparency – As digitalisation relies on data resources and data-sharing, fostering trust and transparency in how this data is used is crucial for public confidence. 4️⃣ Benchmarking and Best Practices – To achieve lasting success, we need a mindset of continuous learning, embracing best practices, benchmarking progress, and encouraging open dialogue about ongoing digitalisation initiatives. A huge thank you to our panelists for making this discussion a meaningful step forward: - Florian Baumann, Head of Marketing & Communications, Bayerische Agentur für Digitales GmbH (byte – Bayerische Agentur für Digitales) - Caroline Hettwer, Senior Advisor, Business Finland - Mikael Nylund, CEO, Gofore Plc - Mikko Mattinen, Director of Digital Engagement & Customer Experience, Digi- ja väestötietovirasto (Finnish Digital Agency)

An effective way to realise the potential brought by both competitive advantage and customer value is to bring experts from different organisations together – thank you for your insights Tomio Pihkala from KONE, Anna Nicol from Fazer, Eeva Impiö-Loimaala from Metsä Board and Karoliina Partanen from Technology Industries of Finland! In case you didn’t make it to the event, there will be a recording published later on. In the event, we published our new research report: Competitive advantage from AI in manufacturing industry. To better understand the current state of manufacturing companies operating in Finland in 2024, we decided to interview leaders of industry companies. Instead of focusing on the widely studied opportunities for AI utilisation, we wanted to investigate how well our target companies understand the possibilities of AI and how they practically approach this topic. The aim of this research was to determine how Finland seeks to gain a competitive advantage through AI.

Concrete actions make a desirable employer. ✨ We have a long history of employee-centric actions and a passion for inspiring societal discussions on improving work life. Many of these actions have also gained attention in various workplace and technology industry rankings and competitions. Most recently, in Universum’s 2024 professional survey, where we were ranked as the most attractive IT consulting employer among IT professionals, placing seventh overall. To dig deeper, our Head of Growth & Renewal Salla Niemelä (she/her) shares her thoughts on Gofore's blog about what makes a good employer and how it affects different stakeholders. "We believe that by focusing on what matters to us and involving Goforeans in the process, we build a sense of community that manifests in various forms of well-being and commitment. Also, according to our own internal surveys, community spirit is one of the defining features of being a Goforean!" 🧡 Read the full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/dGHgv23D #GoforeCrew
