Our founders were pissed off how things were done in IT consultation.
They were tired of the IT industry “cancer” of running projects late, over budget and always blaming the client for it. Where is the pride? Where is the responsibility?
Statistics reveal that 70% of digital transformation-related projects fail. We believe this is unacceptable, and we know we can do better. One fundamental problem lies in a lack of understanding of the customer's unique needs. In our industry, we often rush into solutions without truly listening to the problems we're meant to solve.
The solution, in our eyes, is elegantly simple: We listen. We value people. We celebrate diversity. And we approach our work with the fervor of professional athletes – with passion and an unwavering commitment to execution.
Meet our founder, Joona Puhakka, who competed as a professional athlete in the sport of diving, participating in three Olympic Games (Sydney, Athens, Beijing). As an athlete, he learned that even the wildest dreams can become reality through consistent execution and excellent coaching. As a management consultant, he applies the same principles to business. Even our name, COREDO, derives from sports: Your CORE must be in top condition to DO.
Our partner Petri Kämäräinen is a true embodiment of the sports approach values. He's a versatile individual who thrives both in the realm of sports and in the dynamic world of business. Before embarking on his illustrious consulting career, which spans across some of the world's foremost IT consultancy giants like Accenture, CapGemini, and TietoEvery, he left his mark on the sports arena. He represented his nation in football, glided through cross-country skiing like a true Finn, and even took on the role of a floorball team coach, leading them from division 4 to the national league.
The passion that fuels both of our owners is undeniable. They approach consultancy with a fervor that dances between strategic thinking and athlete-like execution. This unique blend is at the very core of what sets us apart. We don't just show you the way; we get our hands dirty and work with you through the journey.
For companies to thrive in today's digital landscape, they must lay a solid foundation. This means that if you want to infuse modern digitality with Artificial Intelligence into your business, your core systems must house the right data. Imagine giving "steroids" like AI to the wrong data – you'd magnify misinformation and create chaos for your organization.
