OPENING KEYNOTE

WHY HUMAN WISDOM MATTERS MORE THAN EVER

Katja Schipperheijn
Katja Schipperheijn Co-Founder, Internationally Awarded Author, Strategist, Futurist and Keynote Speaker

In a world shaped by data, automation, and constant change, leaders are expected to make faster and better decisions than ever before. Yet the real differentiator is not access to information — but the quality of human judgment.

– Why more data and AI do not automatically lead to better decisions

– What organizations risk losing when judgment is replaced by systems

– How leaders build confidence and clarity when there is no “right answer”

FROM PEOPLE DATA TO AI-POWERED LEADERSHIP

Jaakko Kaikuluoma

In this case interview with Etteplan and Teamspective, we will discuss how to approach leadership development, what needs to change and how the impact of those decisions can be evaluated.

  • What triggered the need to transform leadership at Etteplan?
  • What are the typical steps companies take when transforming their leadership for the AI era?
  • How were the right priorities and interventions identified?

KEYNOTE

THE HIDDEN COST OF CONSTANT CHANGE

Organisations are asking people to adapt faster than ever. But what happens when the pace of change exceeds their ability to absorb it? The challenge for HR is no longer simply managing change — it is understanding what constant adaptation does to people, performance and organisational capability.

WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE WHEN AI MAKES THE RECOMMANDATION?

Henna Wiklund
Henna Wiklund Partner, Head of Employment Law Practice, HPP
Lasse Riski
Lasse Riski Partner, Head of Technology, HPP

As AI becomes embedded in everyday HR decisions, from hiring to performance, the question is no longer whether we use it, but how we remain accountable for the outcomes

    • What happens when a manager follows an AI recommendation — and it goes wrong
    • Why “data-driven” decisions can still reinforce bias
    • What leaders must understand about transparency, trust and accountability

FROM PAY TRANSPARENCY TO COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Iris Lagerström
Iris Lagerström Head of Total Rewards, Global Talent & Insights, VTT

The organizations that benefit most from pay transparency are not those that simply comply. They are the ones that rethink how transparency strengthens trust, attracts talent, and supports long-term competitiveness.

 

  • What leading organizations do beyond the legal requirements
  • Why transparency improves both candidate experience and employee trust
  • How to turn compensation data into better talent decisions
  • Practical lessons from VTT’s strategic approach

CLOSING KEYNOTE

COMPETING FOR CAPABILITY IN THE AGE OF AI

Deana Nannskog
Deana Nannskog Capability Architect, AI Transformation Expert, Founder of Kin Innovation Agency & Former Global HR Leader at Ingka Group (IKEA)

Imagine two organizations with access to the same AI, the same technology and equally talented people. One gets faster. The other gets better. The difference is not the technology. It is what the organization becomes able to do with it, and what its people become able to do alongside it.

  • Why AI-powered productivity does not automatically build organizational capability
  • Why the talent race is shifting from attracting skills to continuously building capability
  • What separates organizations that use AI to strengthen capability from those that simply accelerate existing work
  • How to build organizations where capable people become even more capable
