Hockey stick curves are in real life quite abnormal. However today when we reported our Q1-results, if you look our LTM performance on EBITA% you can see it. We have improved LTM-margin from low point of 8.1% to current 10.5% and that improvement has taken place in muted volume environment and in 12 months. That’s what I call operational efficiency improvement. We have been able to make our operations mean and lean but not at the cost of our clients. NPS is at all time high of 86. Quarter has demonstrated solid progress but also it is fair to say that even after this improvement we are still trailing from our target of 12% EBITA-margin. We progressing towards that with great speed, but there still remains work to be done. I am certain that whole Terveystalo team continues to push towards it. A special thank you this quarter goes to our magnificent teams enabling structural changes in our operating models Lauri Saarivuori Mikael Sabbah Irina Lindberg Niina Tukia Jukka Lehtonen and Antti Kovalainen and off course whole team in finance for making numbers are reports to materialize https://lnkd.in/d569a7AN

Anders Tånger, CEO of Photon Sports Technologies AB, is on a mission: to give every sports team access to sophisticated tools, rather than this being left to the teams that are already successful and rich. In particular, he spotted that in Europe female football players did not have access to the same quality of data as their male counterparts. “We recognised that while the women’s football market was growing, it lacked the same opportunities as men’s football due to limited budgets,” Anders told us. “This realisation led us to partner with the Swedish Women’s League as our first customer in 2022.” The technology – which tracks and analyses body movements using 3D images of athletes – is not only affordable, it’s also highly portable. Which means it can be used where the players are training, enabling it to capture authentic movement. It’s already having an impact, helping coaches and athletes spot areas that can be improved. And now Photon Sports is looking beyond football and at any sport that features explosive movement, from handball to speed skating.

“Severe occupational burnout has increased.” This was the headline of a recent press release by Työterveyslaitos - Finnish Institute of Occupational Health According to their research: ➖ one in four employees has an increased risk of burnout. ➖ the likelihood of burnout has increased, especially among managers. The number has tripled compared to the pre-pandemic period. ➖ severe burnout is twice as likely among young people under the age 36 compared to 2019. ➖ cognitive disorders and cynicism at work have increased. The study, with over 1200 respondents, revealed the main reason behind this increased burnout risk; uncertainty about one’s own job (job insecurity) combined with a growing sense of hopelessness for the future😢   While this data is specific to Finland, I believe it reflects a similar trend across Europe. ❓WHAT CAN WE DO TO TURN THIS TREND AROUND❓ The statistics are worrying, but also awaken the fighter in me. There must be a way for us to reduce job insecurity and create more hope for the future! 👉 I’d love to hear from you: What strategies or approaches have you found helpful – as a leader, or just for yourself – in: 1️⃣ reducing job insecurity, AND/OR 2️⃣ increasing hope for the future? How can we, as workplaces, build a sense of stability and optimism for everyone? Please share your best tips – let’s tackle this challenge together! #Stress #Burnout #Future #Work #Hope

VAR Technology Will Debut in Late August in Finnish Football: GOAL SPORT SOFTWARE is the System Provider for the Suomen Palloliitto - Football Association of Finland The introduction of VAR (Video Assistant Referee) in Finland will begin with the men's Finnish Cup semi-final on August 21. It will also be used in the women's and men's Finnish Cup Super Weekend finals in September 2024, as well as in Veikkausliiga qualifying matches and the Euro final tournament. Before these events, VAR testing will occur at the Helsinki Cup. For the 2024-2025 seasons, a mobile VAR center will operate from a VAR car (OB van), enabling its use in all stadiums. Plans for 2026 include implements a VAR center to support VAR operations. Goal Sport Software has worked closely with local integrator Mediatrade Oy on the infrastructure to ensure smooth technical implementation. 📹 Suomen Palloliitto - Football Association of Finland (English captions available).

Jeee! Again, what a great chat! Thank you Timo Lappi for joining us and sharing your ''lawyerpreneur'' story! What I loved most was hearing how he likes to flip the script on massively conservative industries, namely law and medicine. Or as Timo said it; ''turning the pyramid upside down''. Also, how the role of a board is to help the CEO and executive team shine. I think that's great, and makes sense to me. Have a go at this one, and let me know what you think! :) Links in comments! 👇

Flow: Startup wants to multiply every CPU performance with an additional chip A Finnish startup is currently coming up with a statement that is hard to believe: They want to be able to increase the performance of a processor many times over - even up to a hundred times. All they have to do is integrate a newly developed additional chip. Theoretically known for longer The company Flow is a spin-off of VTT, a research facility supported by the Finnish government. The startup's employees have developed a parallel processing unit (PPU) that is intended to give a CPU a helping hand. According to the developers, it doesn't matter what basic design the processor is based on, so the PPU should be able to accelerate x86, ARM and other chips. Of course, you can't just get as much performance out of a CPU as you want. If it were that easy, the big manufacturers would certainly have done it already. Nevertheless, computer science basically knows ways to organize the work of a main processor more efficiently. The problem is that CPUs - unlike GPUs, which are optimized for parallel calculations - still work serially. Since the days of tube computers, nothing has changed in terms of the fact that they can only carry out one operation at a time - even if they have of course become considerably faster. "The CPU is the weakest link in data processing," said Timo Valtonen, co-founder and head of Flow. "It is not up to the task, and that must change." The PPU Flows cannot change the serial work either. However, the additional chip ensures that the consecutive operations are made available for processing in an optimal order. It also relieves the CPU of various trivial tasks so that they do not slow down the computing time. Integrated into the chip The principle of this has been discussed in computer science for a long time. However, practical implementation has so far failed mainly because the known approaches ensured that only newly written, specially optimized code could be used. A chip system for which all software would have to be rewritten would certainly have no chance on the market, even with higher performance. Flow's great achievement is not just the management of high-speed data traffic, but the fact that this is possible without changing the code on every CPU or architecture tested. However, the PPU must be tightly integrated into the processor's chip architecture - it is therefore not possible to simply plug it into an expansion slot on the PC or server like a coprocessor. If Flow's benchmarks are correct, there are sure to be chip manufacturers who will take on this effort. Flow says it has seen up to 100-fold increases in code that has been modified (though not necessarily completely rewritten) to take advantage of the technology. The PPU worked as part of an FPGA under ideal conditions. Much lower increases are usually achieved - but even doubling performance would be a huge step.

The very core of Lindwyrm is build upon three main pillars. Battling, Platforming, Puzzling. While it’s a „easy to learn, hard to master“ kind of curve, we appreciate players from all levels of experience. Therefore we’ve created a tutorial to onboard players to our gameplay as well as to our world. Check it out below!
