Something is clearly VERY wrong when a new journal system is implemented in a hospital and the next day doctors and nurses go out in protest. How has user involvement been handled in this project...? What usability criteria were there in the original selection of this system? How have end user needs been seen to in the adaptation and implementation process...? How much actual usability testing has been carried out...? I don't know the answers, but these would seem like pertinent questions given what is happening with healthcare in the south of Sweden right now. And on today, of all days (World Usability Day).

Have I told you that I love working with our consultant coaches? Now here's again a case in point. We just finished a Learning Sprint on C++ Advanced with Pekka Mikkola and Aki Reijonen for Varian. What a great collaboration again within Fusion Ecosystem companies Splended and Witted! When preparing the sprint materials and activities, our coaches had to dig deep and learn new things themselves. What a great way to hone your own skills by teaching others! The feedback data speaks for itself, making this the third-best learning intervention in the history of Splended. "the structure and content of the course was great, and the instructors knew what they were talking about" "Introduction to many new language features in C++20/23. The balance of theory and practical exercises was good. The range of covered topics was fitting the available time." "Perfect coverage of topic, excellent exercises, excellent exercise support, excellent understanding of materials by teachers" "Good exercises that will continue to educate me still after the course" Merri Ilmari Leino #c++ #learningsprint #data #tailored Harri Sieppi

Again and again, which I have also witnessed in other places, and heard - you are struck by how amazingly bad leadership there is out there still in modern day 2024/2025 Yelling at, bullying, degrading comparision, favorism… In 2025 Agile/team coaches will come back?! 💪🏻 Or how do we deal with power that dont equal leadership skills?!

🔥Customer go-live🔥 We are pleased to announce that a new customer, Ardoq, went live with Younium last week. Ardoq is a cloud-native SaaS company that provides a data-driven platform for Enterprise Architecture and business transformation. 👉🏻 We first met Ardoq at a SaaS event in 2022, where we discussed their approach to managing B2B customer subscriptions and billing. At that time, they were using a different subscription management solution that wasn't purpose-built for an advanced business model. It lacked support for various pricing structures and robust metrics features. However, after deeper conversations, we recognized a strong alignment between our organizations and a common view of how to manage and scale a B2B SaaS business, and earlier this year, we agreed on how to move forward together. 👉🏻Ardoq primarily chose Younium to establish a flexible and scalable financial backend and implement an efficient quote-to-cash process using Salesforce and Xledger in conjunction with Younium. Thank you Bård Bognøy and team for trusting us🙏🏻

Yesterday we had another meetup at Smidig, The Norwegian Agile Community. You can find us at Meetup if you want to join one of our meetups in Oslo. Not all our meetups are in English, but yesterday's event was and we had Timoté Geimer speaking about 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆. One of the questions that came up was: "𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗮𝘀?" Timoté Geimer shared that reflection and questioning yourself is important. Just the fact that you are questioning if you have a bias is contributing to you awareness. This in addition to discussing with others help you discover new perspectives. We all know that our thought patterns can sometimes become fixed as we keep ourselves in a comfortable and known thinking pattern. Knowing this is an awareness we can use to take a step back, take the observer mode and ask different questions. I believe that 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 and 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 is key. This combined with making 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 from a place of curiosity, openness and being non-judgemental will help take us in new directions. Our next meetup is in Norwegian and will be a workshop about modern leadership and product teams; "Workshop og praktiske tips om moderne ledelse og produktteam" Hosted by: Benedicte Fjellanger, Una Aamodt Mathisen, June Henriksen and Rune Ulvnes

For quite a while now I have not only been CPCO in Klar but also headed our internal Customer Support department and ensured much more commercial profiles. The best thing that happened in that department is - without a doubt - hiring Line Vedø Læssøe! But yesterday we sent her on Maternity leave with a nice reception 👶🍼👩‍🍼 AND A BIG PROMOTION 💥 At the reception, I announced that we have decided to promote Line as Head of Customer Support. A well-deserved title, she can bring with her on her leave and bring back again in January 2025. Sending women on maternity leave with no promotion even though they deserve it is purely wrong! Acknowledging amazing results should never wait until AFTER maternity leave. (I guess you agree Frederikke Antonie Schmidt 😘) Let's have a look at (some) of Line's smashing results: 👏 Boosted our TrustPilot rating from 4.3 to 4.4, prioritizing responses to every review within 24 hours - she did what no one else could in Klar. In 2021 and 2022 it was even lower! 👏 Gave our claims process a complete makeover, minimizing waste, automating answers and streamlining operations - so far huge success 👏 Started tracking our Customer Service performance with KPIs to stay on top of our game. 👏 Trimmed down our claims costs by over 15% (so far - can't wait to see how the 2024 result will be) Line Vedø Læssøe you ROCK 🤩🤘🎸 we will miss you and cannot wait to greet you back in January 2025. To take over Customer Support, while Line is doing other, super important things ofcourse, we have hired Kristín Laura Vestergaard to run the show. WELCOME Kristín 👋👋

Can candidates cheat in psychometric tests? The short answer: it’s possible. But here’s the thing—cheating can be a factor in any selection method, whether it’s interviews, references, or even work samples. What makes psychometric tests stand out is the amount of effort and research invested into preventing cheating. From adaptive testing designs to communication around the tests, these tools are built to ensure reliable, fair results. Want to dive deeper into this topic? My brilliant colleague, Ludvig Wettlén breaks it all down in a great podcast episode with Josefin Malmer from HOME of Recruitment🎙️ Tune in here: https://lnkd.in/dapqcwad

A small shoutout - I'm immensely enjoying producing the Ctrl+Alt+Azure podcast with Tobias Zimmergren. Two reasons! 1 - I get to not-use my Moomin svenska with Tobi. We tried that, but I think his blank stare 😐 told more than enough. "Please, don't." was perhaps muttered. 2 - We can reflect on tangential topics - sometimes it's pure Azure tech, other times it's something based on our past experiences. And this week, we're talking about productivity. Tobi and I share our ideas on productivity, getting stuff done, and how we work. Give it a listen!

To bring effectiveness, quality and productivity of health and social care services to the Finnish wellbeing services counties, Tietoevry launched a #Lifecare partnership model in 2021. Since then, we have closely collaborated with the 8 counties in Finland to support health and social care professionals in their daily work to provide equal services for the residents in the counties. Thanks to the powerful union: the wellbeing services counties of South Karelia, South Ostrobothnia, Kanta-Häme, Central Ostrobothnia, Central Finland, Kymenlaakso, Päijät-Häme and Satakunta in Finland. You do an amazing job by serving about 1.4 million people! Together we care! The Finnish IT magazine Tivi wrote about the joint model. #TietoevryCare #purposefultechnology

I am incredibly honored to be coaching and mentoring the next generation of software engineers in the Master’s program of Industrial Software Engineering at IT-Universitetet i København. 🎓 As an Agile Coach, my mission goes beyond guiding students Isabella Harries Magnusdottir and Aidan Stocks ; it's about giving back to the community and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Over the past months, I’ve had the privilege of working with passionate and dedicated students who remind me every day why I love what I do. To all my students: Your hard work, curiosity, and commitment to excellence are truly inspiring. You are not just learning Agile principles; you are embodying them. Remember, each challenge is a stepping stone towards mastery. Stay curious, push your limits, and embrace every opportunity to grow. But this journey is not just about the students—it's about all of us. Whether you’re a fellow educator, a professional in the industry, or someone passionate about personal and professional development, let's support each other. Sharing knowledge, offering guidance, and being open to learning from one another creates a thriving community. Giving back has always been a core value for me. It’s about paying it forward and nurturing the future leaders of our industry. I am here to support not only my students but anyone who is on this path of growth and innovation. Whether it’s through tackling complex projects, navigating team dynamics, or refining Agile practices, let’s work together to make a positive impact. To my network: Let’s continue to uplift each other, share our experiences, and inspire growth. Together, we can build a brighter future in software engineering and beyond. #AgileCoach #Mentorship #Agile
