The story behind the book: A Humanely Digital Society
Finland is one of the leading countries in digitalisation, and the biggest change has only just begun. Services are now being developed using new methods and by focusing on people. At the same time, digitalisation raises discussions about equality, transparency, and security.
The goal of the book is to encourage Finnish organisations to sustain their pioneering position as well as share knowledge and practices of digitalisation across Europe.
Why Gofore has created and published this book?
Gofore has been building the Finnish digital society for over 20 years and supporting organisations that are undeniably pioneers in humane digitalisation.
We wanted to compile stories that focus on what everyone should know about digitalisation right now and on our journey towards the future. We want to evoke meaningful conversation to create a deeper understanding what humane digitalisation is and why it is important as we continue building the digital infrastructure foundations of the Finnish society.
The book was also published in October in German for the DACH market area in October 2024. After receiving a warm appraisal, the English version of the book is a natural continuity for it. The book will be published in print, as an eBook and an audio book.
