OP Pohjola received recognition for bringing artificial intelligence into the everyday work of all employees from the national AI network AI Finland.
OP Pohjola ranked among the top three in the AI Transformation of the Year category together with KONE and Relex Solutions. A record-breaking 176 entries were submitted to the competition, highlighting the rapid development of the AI field.
“The recognition we received is above all a tribute to OP Pohjola employees. Our AI journey would not be possible without our staff’s courage to try new things and share their expertise. At the same time, it is important to understand the role of leadership: we do not just follow change, we actively lead it – we make conscious choices, learn ourselves, and set the direction for the entire organization”, says Kasimir Hirn, OP Pohjola’s Head of Technology and Development.
AI enables a smooth, inspiring, and efficient workday for every OP Pohjola employee.
“We have supported the AI journey consistently and in many ways through training and workshops, peer support and AI ambassadors, as well as continuous communication. This way, everyone gains confidence and inspiration to try new things. I am truly proud of the AI journey we have taken and of the growing enthusiasm and curiosity toward new AI functionalities and agents. This recognition belongs to every brave AI pioneer at OP Pohjola!“ rejoices Karoliina Kettukari, Head of Modern Work.
The competition culminated in the AI Gala, which celebrated the future possibilities of AI in Finland. The event brought together 500 business leaders, experts, and innovators, and awards were presented in ten categories.
