How capable is your organization to execute its strategy?
What does the strategy require from the organization in terms of its operating model, culture, leadership, and capabilities?
How far is the organization currently from its target state?
Where should the organization focus its development efforts, and how should these efforts be implemented?
Our services
We diagnose organizations and help develop their capabilities to execute their strategy and operate accordingly. The impact of our work is based on the Engager–method we have developed, which combines our extensive experience and expertise in organizational development with state-of-the art organizational diagnostics.
Current state analysis
“Houston, we have a problem”
Finding, understanding and resolving organizational painpoints, bottlenecks and problem areas
- We analyze your organization, its culture, its leadership, its current ways of working and its capabilities
- We identify challenges, bottlenecks and strengths, and, based on that, key development areas
- Together with your organization, we create a roadmap for solving identified challenges, and, if you wish, we support you in the implementation of the plan
Target state verification
“I have a dream”
Analyzing how far off the organization and its operations is from the desired target state and what organizational capabilities to develop
- Based on your strategy, we help your organization to concretize its target state and the leadership, culture, ways of working and strategic capabilities it requires
- Together with your organization, we verify how close or far off you are from this target state.
- We identify the most relevant development priorities together with your organization and, if you wish, help you evolve towards the target state.
Our Engager-method
In our Engager method, which focuses on the impact of development, we combine the active involvement of your organization, our deep experience and expertise in organizational development as well as our digital diagnostic platform, Engager. The 3+1 main steps of our method:
1. Shared view
We co-create a shared view of the target state and the building blocks of the future operating model, leadership, organizational culture, or strategic capabilities.
2. Gap analysis
Based on the shared view, We conduct a digital self-assessment to illuminate the current state and to identify how close/far of we are from the target state.
3. Roadmap
We collaboratively interpret the results of the self-assessment, assist in prioritizing developmen initiatives, and, based on that, build a development roadmap.
4. Development
If the client wishes, we support the organization in developing its operating model, leadership, culture, and capabilities as well as measuring progress.

I have worked as a management consultant in demanding strategic leadership and organizational transformation projects since the 1990s, most recently in Northern Europe and Southeast Asia. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive international expertise and experience in strategy processes, operating model and structural reforms, developing leadership and management systems and lately in organizational culture and service design. I am also the creator and developer of the Engager organizational diagnostics tool. In my work, I believe in the power of transparency and people engagement: change may start in the board room, but its success and impact are determined by individuals’ renewed thinking and actions.

I have co-founded and led four successful and competent coaching and consulting companies in the 2000s: Milestone, Muutostoimisto Flow (now Eezy Flow), Renesans Consulting, and Hyvän Valmentaja Oy.
I have worked with over 200 organizations, with my longest client relationship starting in 2002.
I specialize in leadership, culture, and customer experience development, change work, impactful coaching, and problem-solving.
In my work, I don’t promote any “superior” ideology or ism because none such exists. My approach is hyper-customized, based on experience, active listening and observation, systemic thinking, the use of the most suitable methods, and interaction with people.
I believe in continuous improvement of operations and culture, participatory execution of strategy, and a respectful firmness in leadership.
Every client is unique. Therefore, every change is also unique, and it is planned and implemented together with the customer in the most effective way possible.

I am an organizational psychologist with extensive international experience. Throughout my career, I have evaluated and assisted leadership teams and individual leaders in large multinational organizations and smaller growth companies in improving focus, self-awareness, and decision-making abilities. To me, psychology is not something separate from business but rather a natural part of tactical and strategic decision-making and influencing. Therefore, I believe in balancing the hard and soft aspects of organizational development: sustainable success requires the seamless development of people and their business understanding, alongside the realities of business, structures, and operational improvements.

The courage to face – and solve – workplace dysfunction
I don’t bring ready-made solutions to the table. Instead, I uncover what often goes unsaid: hidden structures, invisible barriers, and unspoken habits that hinder your team’s success. With over 25 years of business-driven HR experience, including 13 years in key roles at Nokia Corporation, I’ve learned that true success requires the courage to address root causes – and solve them.
I believe in precise diagnostics and targeted interventions. I focus on what truly supports and transforms team dynamics. I can identify what drives individual success and team cohesion – in ways that show in both results and motivation.
If you’re looking for more than consulting clichés and want meaningful change, let’s start a conversation. For example:
- What’s your team’s real pain point – are you ready to face it with me?
- How much better could collaboration be if barriers were finally removed?
- Is your workplace culture a foundation for success or an invisible obstacle?
I’ll show you how small, well-targeted actions can positively reshape how your team works moving forward.
