It’s time to understand the power of digital development and the new business opportunities it offers. I predict that we are gradually moving from consumer-centric services to ecosystem services built on sustainable business models and value creation for multiple stakeholders.

Ecosystem services are based on a new kind of impact and metrics, creating well-being for the planet and people, as well as ethical economic prosperity.

On aika ymmärtää digitaalisen kehityksen mahti sekä sen tarjoamat uudet liiketoimintamahdollisuudet. Ennustan, että olemme siirtymässä vähitellen  kuluttajalähtöisistä palveluista ekosysteemipalveluihin, jotka pohjautuvat kestäviin liiketoimintamalleihin ja arvonluontiin useille sidosryhmille. Ekosysteemipalveluissa perustuvat uudenlaiseen vaikuttavuuteen ja mittareihin, joissa luodaan hyvinvointia planeetalle ja ihmisille sekä eettistä taloudellista vaurautta.

TikTok, with its 170 million users in the US, has long been a digital powerhouse shaping culture, commerce, and communication. But what happens when such an influential platform is banned? The recent prohibition has sparked a fascinating migration of users to a Chinese app called RedNote, signaling a broader shift in digital power dynamics and raising important questions about governance in the digital age.

Achieving any sustainability goal depends on your ability to collaborate. We can be very knowledgeable in different sustainability practices. We can have all the possible studies and research in our hands. We can have all the sustainability solutions in the world. But why are we still not able to turn the ship around to a sustainable direction. Are we going towards an apocalypse or is there a magic ingredient to changing the direction? Could the secret ingredient to change be at an extremely human level and in how we collaborate and meet each other? Could diplomacy be the missing ingredient in achieving sustainability goals?

What you once believed to be the golden standard for good design is about to be shattered forever. It’s no longer enough to meet the immediate needs of the consumer or to measure success by profit alone. The days of solely user-centered service and product development are approaching the end of their time. The next era will be planet-centric in how we think, lead and design our realities. This means reimagining a world that values the interconnectedness of all life and the ecosystems that sustain it.

This is the era when we must seriously ask: how do we ensure that digitalisation becomes a force for regeneration? We can work within current systems and logics, but alongside them, we need to innovate. We must design new, regenerative systems, create services with fresh logics, and develop innovations that prioritise planetary wellness and human vitality.

Learn five ways you as a visionary leader can effectively communicate your message to diverse stakeholders.

I looked into the mirror of my own diversity. I realised that it had been taken away from me.

Have you ever thought what a human experience really is? Is sex ultimate amazingness of human life? Or is it birth, sleep, eating, empathy and living a purposeful life? What is it really? What does it mean to be a human in a planet called Earth?

What if we had an impact currency? “A human experience where positive impact is a currency.” Since then, I’ve been thinking about it and what it could be. Totally insane? Naah, just a little bit new age but not far fetched. We have cryptocurrencies already, right?
