Age of Copilot – do you know how it will impact your life?
We moved into a new phase in our lives in November 2022 when OpenAI brought ChatGPT to the general public. A large language model (LLM) could help us generate text and answer questions on different topics. Microsoft began embedding OpenAI technology into its Copilot solutions, starting with a preview for beta testers in June 2023.…
Do you know how to be effective with LinkedIn?
Most of us are on LinkedIn and view it as the most valuable resource for prospecting and broadcasting your organization and your brand. Your brand showcases what “sets you apart from others and emphasizes your unique skills, experiences, and values that resonate with potential leads.” Melonie Dodaro and Brian Galicia state this in their book…
Coders – a reflection of Silicon Valley and Engineers
I admit. I have always been fascinated by “coders,” “programmers,” or whatever you call individuals who build software solutions. Heck, I took my wife to Silicon Valley as part of our honeymoon. That should show my interest in software and organizations building software. Little did I know that 20 years later, from our honeymoon trip,…
Do you know how to price your AI-powered solution?
The subscription-based economy is here, and traditional industries such as Honeywell, Bosch, ABB, Bridgestone, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Medtronic, Stanley Black & Decker, and many others are moving towards solutions with a subscription model.

Are you a victim of a productivity trap and feel burned?
Our work has changed dramatically over the years. I represent the generation that was one of the first to get a corporate email (80s), and even then, it was limited to a group of technologists I also represented.

Historical Perspective and the Inside Story of Silicon Valley by award-winning journalist Kara Swisher
One of my passions since my early university days has been to follow the tech industry. Those initial university days were from 1985 to 1989. The ear before I spent in the military, which was a common thing for every Finnish male. I have always been fascinated with Silicon Valley and the birth of the…
Are you ready for your “second curve” in life and career?
Not all of my book recommendations are about technology such as AI or business such as business models, but also about life and careers. Looking back at my career, it seems that there are a few turning points in my life, and most of them have had to do with reading books that have given…
Generative Artificial Intelligence book by Dr. Jerry Kaplan
I admit. I have been fascinated by the history of technological advancement in Silicon Valley and have amassed many business books about Silicon Valley throughout my career. Earlier in my career, I was known to bring 500+ page programming manuals to my vacation trips (sorry Rita Salonen). When my wife enjoyed the pool and sunbathing,…
Do you understand the importance of strategy frameworks?
I am a true believer in business- and strategy frameworks. I did not “get it” in my earlier career, but it finally “sank in” when working on my doctoral dissertation within the Information Systems science domain. My Professor had a simple question he posed to me: “Do you want your dissertation to stay relevant…
