Your partner in developing business, leadership, and AI competence

Organizations struggle to adopt AI in ways that actually improve their business.

This is because they focus on AI more than their business, customers, and employees.

I help leaders solve their most pressing business problems; sometimes the solution is AI, but most often it is something completely different.

About Villiam
About Villiam

  • "Villiam has been the driving force behind making our AI program a success. What stood out most was his ability to create engagement and urgency around a complex topic like AI—without overhyping it."

    Jan Willamo, CTO, Roschier Attorneys Ltd.

  • "Villiam provided our EMBA groups with an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of AI, the AI disruption, and change management. His human-centric approach to the AI transition seamlessly integrated strategic, technological, and human perspectives into a clear and cohesive whole."

    Sirpa Koponen, MBA Programme Director, University of Jyväskylä

  • Virkkunen is one of the best trainers I have ever come across. Inspiring, attentive, safe, smart and highly perceptive of situations. A brilliant persona! Thank you for the wonderful training

  • "I have never experienced this kind of psychological safety in a workplace before — that it has genuinely been thought about and effort has been put into it. Of course, many things contribute to the feeling of safety, but in this context it has been helped at least by the fact that the topic has been introduced at a conceptual level from the very beginning, and openness related to it has, in my view, also been encouraged."

  • "Safe space is talked about a lot and usually that concept doesn't really resonate with me, but about your sessions I can say that you are one of the best people at creating a safe space."

  • "We now reached a level [in AI] that a whole year's worth of keynote speeches has not managed to achieve. I have previously understood the possibilities of AI in theory, but only now did I truly understand in practice what they mean at their best in my own work"

  • An excellent training that helped me understand new things about myself. The training brought together a wonderful group of people, whose strengths trainer Villiam Virkkunen managed to conjure into a shared resource for everyone

  • "Villiam was simply great to work with. Relaxed but professional, supported me when I wanted, appreciated support when I gave it. We could always call each other and get more clarity on what was going on. I would very much like to work with Villiam in the future again."
