Gofore has been honoured at the 2025 AI Gala with the Trainer of the Year award in the AI 1000 coaching programme. The AI 1000 initiative, launched by the AI Finland business network, is a joint effort within the Finnish technology sector, aiming to place the business opportunities brought by artificial intelligence at the heart of Finnish corporate leadership thinking.
- It has been a pleasure and a privilege for Gofore to participate in this meaningful societal work, bringing a wealth of AI expertise into the daily operations of Finnish organisations. The shared goal of a thousand AI-coached Finnish organisations is drawing closer every day, thanks also to the other coaching organisations. In addition to raising a toast, we congratulate all those recognised at the gala, says Tommi Rasinmäki, Head of Management Consulting at Gofore.
Aiming to identify growth opportunities enabled by AI
The AI1000 coaching concept has been assembled through collaboration between AI Finland and Finland’s leading consulting firms. Executive AI coaching has proven to be an effective wake-up call and catalyst for growth.
The objective of the AI 1000 initiative is to train the boards and management teams of a thousand companies over the coming year to recognise and harness the growth opportunities offered by artificial intelligence. The ambition is to create 1,000 ambitious, AI-driven business projects within the Finnish corporate landscape.
Gofore, involved from the outset, has shaped, conceptualised, and further developed the transformation required for the successful adoption of AI.
The AI transition requires a dual transformation
Although the emergence of AI has a strong technological aspect, it can also be seen as just one new phase in a series of technological revolutions, such as the advent of the internet or social media. The change is technological, but above all, it is a profound shift in people’s thinking and behaviour.
Coaching provides management teams and boards with a concrete and approachable way to take time to recognise, understand, and implement the dual transformation brought about by AI. A shared foundation in AI and high-quality leadership of this transition enable broader utilisation of artificial intelligence.
- Through our coaching work, we have observed that the next phase of AI is a transition towards a path where generative AI is not a collection of isolated tools and experiments, but an integral part of all organisational activities and everyone’s daily work, Rasinmäki concludes.
Gofore’s AI Beyond Tomorrow transition model is a practical framework for thinking and transformation.
Gofore’s transition model helps you make sense of the AI shift, combining new technologies with the adoption of new ways of thinking and working. Gofore AI Beyond Tomorrow transition model offers clear steps and guidance for a successful AI transition.
