Ihanuutta! Making dreams come true.

The next big thing is born when we dream together.

What matters is what people want to build together.

Ihanuutta works only for a better world.

Who we are

  • We help companies, communities, society and individuals at crossroads, facing something new, at the foot of a mountain or on the edge of uncertainty.
  • We ask difficult questions and look for the answers together. We build bridges instead of drawing battle lines.
  • We bring people, ideas and technology together – but with us, everyone thinks with their own mind.
  • We make the invisible visible, turn thoughts into possibilities and possibilities into action.

The next great leap is not that we can do more on our own, but that we learn to do more together.

How we work

  1. 01

    First, we sit down

    What is actually happening? What is needed, and why?

  2. 02

    We imagine and dream

    What could happen if we didn't start from how things are now, or how they have always been done?

  3. 03

    We find paths

    When something entirely new begins to take shape, we look for ways to move towards it. Sometimes the next step is clear. Sometimes the most important thing is to find a few possible paths and start experimenting.

Hyveäly – Virtue Intelligence

Better collaboration. Wiser technology. In that order.

Hyveäly is a change process built for communities and organisations.

First, we strengthen collaboration and discover the virtues and ways of working that matter to the community. Change can't happen without people – and we know how to invite them in.

Then we identify together what is worth developing and where AI could genuinely help. Technology doesn't define the change. The community and its goals do.

Talk

Human-sized AI

What is AI, what can it do, and what should we understand about it?

An accessible, participatory talk about AI – without the tech jargon.

What does AI actually do? What is it good for? Where does it go wrong? And how will its spread change our lives?

Examples and discussion are shaped around the audience. No prior experience with AI is needed.

Workshop

When AI joins the team

What happens to shared thinking when AI becomes a colleague?

AI can speed up individual work, but at the same time part of the thinking and problem-solving moves from between people to between a person and AI. What happens to your work, your collaboration and your shared thinking?

In the workshop we pause to explore together what using AI has already changed – and what we want from it in the future.

The workshop is based on Sonja Baer's research on community and communicative AI.

Change workshop

To create change, we have to be able to imagine what is not yet possible.

We cannot build a new kind of future with old ways of thinking. In the change workshop we let go, for a moment, of what is currently possible, sensible or familiar.

We free up our thinking, dream, shift perspective and look for possibilities in places we don't usually think to look.

When something new begins to take shape, we work out together how it could come true!

For individuals

One thing at a time

Is there something important you haven't got round to because it feels difficult or unclear, or you just don't know where to start? Let's take care of it together.

It could be, for example, a continuing power of attorney, an advance care directive, an application, booking an appointment or dealing with digital services.

Pricing is always agreed in writing with the client in advance. Sometimes it takes an hour, sometimes more.

Ihanuutta
for change!

Change can be personal: a child moves out, a move to assisted living lies ahead, a working life comes to an end, or a whole new chapter of life begins.

It can concern a community: a workplace needs to find a new way of working, AI is changing the work, or people need to start thinking and doing more together again.

Or the question can be even bigger: how do we build better working lives, stronger communities, or a society where technological progress serves what people consider good?

In our work we combine listening, shared thinking, science, art, virtues and the purposeful use of AI. We build a way to move forward together.

Hyveäly

Virtue Intelligence

We know how to harness AI.

86%

of people wonder how AI will change the world and their everyday lives

In Hyveäly, technology does not set the direction.

First, we strengthen collaboration and shared understanding through the virtue process and artistic methods. They build trust, the courage to experiment and the ability to recognise together what is truly needed.

On this foundation, the community identifies its own development needs and carries out a focused AI project. Shared understanding guides what gets developed, where AI is needed and where people must still carry the responsibility.

Could strengthening community also change what kind of AI we build and how we work with it?

Let us tell you more – book a time
What matters is not what AI can do, but what people want to achieve with it.

Research and hands-on experience

~50companies and communities where the virtue process has been carried out

The Hyveäly concept combines community-based work, research on virtues, service design and strong technical AI expertise.

It is grounded in research on virtues, AI and community. Experienced AI and data specialists design and build the technical solutions.
