At its core, AI doesn’t deliver value unless people know how to steer it. That’s why AI training for employees is essential — otherwise the benefits remain a dream.
Yesterday I spoke at the North Karelia Chamber of Commerce’s “Digiklinikka” event about how to make AI truly benefit business, not as hype, but in everyday practice. The best part of the session was participants’ eagerness to ask, challenge and reflect on their own work from an AI perspective. That kind of curiosity is exactly what drives development forward.
We talked about:
- Why a good prompt is more important than a good algorithm
- How the data you give influences everything AI does
- How to get started tomorrow without falling into the hype trap
- And why you should guide AI — rather than just wait for it to do the work for you
Thanks to the North Karelia Chamber of Commerce for the invitation and above all to the participants for their active interaction.
Real voices from the session
AI is only as good as the prompt and the context you give it.
Wow!! AI hit the core of business today! 💥💡 … Now I understand even better how from small pilots we can move toward company-wide benefits.
Teemu emphasised the point: AI is not a ready solution, but it needs guiding and precise instructions, just like a new employee … If you use 90 % preparation, AI can do 90 % of the work.
My approach – what I bring
I draw on 25 years of software engineering together with modern AI development. Delivering not just technology, but understanding. I help teams learn, adapt and build trust in AI.
In my training sessions I emphasise:
- A people-first mindset: AI is not the star => your people are.
- Concrete actions: We move immediately from concept to “what you do tomorrow”.
- Contextual guidance: You don’t just hand over a model, you guide how to feed it, steer it, govern it.
If your organisation is ready to move AI beyond pilots and into everyday business benefit — let’s connect. I deliver tailored workshops, hands-on training and strategic guidance so that AI becomes a trusted teammate, not just a tool.
