- to develop working life practices and structures that enable engagement and productivity at work and thus improve organizational performance and growth
- create work arrangements that support long-term well-being and work ability throughout one’s career
- to concretely support the competitiveness driven by digitalization and multi-location work and to create value for Finnish companies globally.

NewBI5 – New competitiveness from intelligence, intuition, interaction and information integration
What if 25-30% of management work can be automated in the future? How are the functions that will be replaced by artificial intelligence identified and understood, and how are their savings, value and impact potential managed? We want Finnish companies to be at the forefront of implementing the business opportunities that arise from this development.
The NewBI5 project investigates how management work and its processes from business development to customer value creation are changing with automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced analytics, and how they can be utilized in various corporate functions and their management.
