Elina is a tough professional and yet a humanist with a big heart. That deep understanding of humanity and endless desire to learn new things about life is what makes her a good person and capable of meeting the rest of us. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the transformative force that changes the world. I am happy to say that we are friends.
The strength and capacity of a development lies in its people. Successful implementation requires a shared understanding of direction. At company, team and individual level. At the heart of Direo is creating interactive working practices with sufficient space for dialogue, reflection and learning.
The three perspectives thinking model
Successful change is led through a 'three perspectives' mindset: company, team, individual. This is used to build flexibility for mindset change, building renewal capacity and minimum viable implementation in the environment of choice.
The path of changeOnce the direction is mutually understood and the desired impact is known, the milestones are set and the multidisciplinary team moves from one stage to the next according to the game plan. Along the way, there is open communication about progress and obstacles, so that we can react in a timely manner and make new path choices if necessary.
Circles of learningIt makes sense to learn the habit of stopping regularly to share experiences and observations from stage to stage, learning together, from successes and failures. It is also valuable to share them with others. Reflection also makes it easier to achieve the objectives of the next stage. In essence, it is about managing your own work in a way that adds value to the team to achieve the agreed outcomes.

Kestävän liiketoiminnan edellytykset vaativat ajattelutapojen muutoksen. Miten rakentaa uudistumiskykyä vastuullisesti? Tavoitellaanko kunnianhimoisesti ratkaisuja ja uusia liiketoimintamalleja ilmastokriisiin, luontokadon ja eriarvoisuuden torjumiseksi – vai ollaanko edelleen osa ongelmaa?
