Hellon people

The year 2023 was eventful in many ways. What we have been experiencing is a series of systemic, dramatic changes or shocks that are shaping our societies and economies. These shocks create interconnected waves of changes in our everyday lives, shaping our beliefs, our perception of what we believe is valuable and meaningful, and finally, our needs as human beings, consumers, and businesses.

What are the key trends shaping the future of innovation, and how are we preparing our strategy to confront what is coming? Uncover Hellon&#39;s strategic responses in our CEO Jaakko Wäänänen&#39;s insightful blog.

Defining the challenge

As the excitement around AI-powered tools like ChatGPT grows, business leaders and practitioners worldwide ask: How can we leverage this technology effectively? At Hellon, we have embedded several AI tools since 2017 into our innovation workflows. Our practical experience has taught us that the key to success is asking the right questions before diving into any AI-powered solution or tool.

Harnessing the Power of AI in Innovation: We must focus on the Right Questions

In this time of rapid change and uncertainty, how are you addressing, the much-required sustainability transformations in your industry? Are you able to connect your sustainability goals to your business goals?
