About Krista Keränen

This is meInnovation Professional | Ecosystem Developper | Service Business Developper | Design Thinker | Co-creator | Researcher | Educator My knowledge and skills combine a powerful set of innovation management, ecosystem, co-creation, design thinking, qualitative research approaches and tools to support business and organisational development. I am passionate about building new co-creative service and organisational models, developing ecosystems and building serious games or gamified tools.Based on the feedback I am often described as a creator of visions and an inspirer. My communication skills are strong, and I am an agile networker, adopting visual design thinking tools and research activities to solve challenges. I am passionate about leading and the best description of my leadership model is a servant leadership. I believe that as leaders we need to empower and energise others, and we also need to be able to make decisions. I think I have succeeded in working life because I have not been afraid of responsibility and because I have always been a team player. I am humble enough to understand that I don’t have all the answers and knowledge, but instead I can combine the professional skills of the people I work with and the ecosystem around me. What I start, I always finish, too. I also believe it is important to challenge ourselves and get out of our comfort zone in order to achieve great results.#innovation #coreation #designthinking #servicedesign #ecosystem #gamify #seriousgaming #qualitativeresearch #servicebusiness #CoCoCosmos #INNOBOOST #visionfactory
