Program Highlights – May 22, 2025:
Harri Ketamo (Headai): Technologies age. Skills are forever.
“I didn’t come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came to tell you how it started.”
We’re at the dawn of the AI era, and while technologies may change fast, core skills endure. Harri will show why skills foresight—not just tech foresight—is critical for every business looking to thrive in an evolving world.
Pekka Abrahamsson (GPT-Lab): AI is not knocking at your door — it’s already inside
It’s not just rearranging the furniture — it’s quietly rewriting the rulebook. Companies that embrace this shift are redesigning workflows, retraining teams, and redefining productivity. The rest? They’re still waiting for a formal introduction.
