 What: WiT Breakfast Date with Nitor: AI at Work: Strategy, Collaboration & What the Hype is Hiding
 When: Thursday, May 28, 8:30 – 10:30
 Where: Nitor HQ, Aleksanterinkatu 46 A (6th floor), 00100 Helsinki Language: English
 Registration: HERE
 More info:
Join us for two keynotes offering different perspectives on AI in the workplace – from accelerating strategic decisions and transforming collaboration, to what lies beyond the AI bubble.Â
Agenda
08:30–09:00 Welcome & breakfast
09:00–09:30 Design as a strategy accelerator
With tools like Figma Make, strategy is no longer only discussed – it can be visualized, explored, and experienced early on. This enables teams to turn abstract ideas into tangible concepts, align faster, and make better decisions.
In this keynote, Tia Sistonen, Senior Service Designer at Nitor will explore how organizations can move from assumption-driven planning to experience-based decision-making, with service designers facilitating this shift and helping act as a true strategy accelerator.
09:30–10:00 Beyond the AI hype: what remains once the dust settles?
Most of us are currently integrating AI into our workflows and by now most of us have some form of experience of how AI impacts teams and collaboration.
At the same time it is no secret that the business model and current state of (generative) AI is unsustainable.
In this talk, Annika Madejska, Senior Designer and Digital Ethicist at Nitor, will explore how AI impacts daily work and collaboration within a team – and raise some important questions about the world beyond the AI bubble.
10:00–10:30 Discussion & networking
We warmly welcome you to learn, connect, and be inspired đź’ś
