So the world does change, Esko my boy
We often hear people say how everything used to be better. Finland as a nation used to perform better in sports, there used to be much more snow in the winter, and so on. Some have even found it offensive that the world appears to be very different compared to what it was a few decades ago. Furthermore, the framework of the research world has been through massive changes. The rapid technological development has opened up new possibilities for both collecting and analysing data.

Taking on remote work in the middle of Europe
In the upcoming 12 months, I myself will personally take a big step when I combine the possibilities of remote work, the demands of family life and the internationalization of our company. The ambitious goal is to combine remote CEO work for Innolink in Finland with taking over a new market in Germany. As the CEO of a company built around knowledge-driven leadership, it would give me great pride to say that these decisions were made purely on the basis of a long-term data analysis and consideration, but in reality.... However, the most important thing is that there is courage, flexibility and trust so that I can pursue these goals.

Research
Quality or quantity? True knowledge-driven leadership is based on both
What is my customer thinking? What could we have done better? Did we not meet all their needs? How can I hold on to my customer in the future as well? Qualitative research yields for example information on currently concealed needs or signals that indicate possible future needs. In the best-case scenario, possible mistakes in the customer encounter can be fixed with reasonable effort and costs. As a result, you will have a loyal customer also in the future.
