Keynote speeches

The shift we’re seeing isn't just about tech—It’s about habit and identity change. Right now our greatest challenge is how to apply AI as fast and intelligently as possible in our job.

Drawing on my experience as a change leader and AI development consultant, I provide deep dives into:

  • Changing Roles: How our jobs and roles are changing right now as automation proceeds.

  • Industry Transformation: Real-world examples of AI-driven disruption.

  • Human-AI teams: How to move beyond basic prompting and basic AI tools to true human-AI collaboration.

My keynotes offer more than theory; they provide practical examples and AI-tools that help participants utilize machine intelligence more holistically to improve their everyday life and work.

AI learning networks

Move from one-off AI training to a continuous culture of learning and implementing AI

AI learning networks help organizations build internal peer-to-peer networks where AI knowledge scales naturally through collective use-case sharing and experimentation.

  • Peer-to-Peer Learning: Shifting from top-down training to a model where experts teach each other relevant AI use cases from their own daily work.

  • Practical Use-Case Demos: Hands-on sessions focused on demonstrating, practicing, and validating real-world AI applications—not just theory.

  • Scaling Impact: A structured "teach-it-forward" model ensures that every insight gained in the network is immediately shared within participants' own teams.

Format: A pilot (typically 4–6 months) including the initial network design, monthly facilitated sessions, and a final roadmap for scaling the model across the entire organization. Ideal for HR, AI and business leaders who want to turn individual AI skills into a company-wide movement

Business consulting & change leadership support

I help you identify and solve the most pressing business problems that stand between where you are and where you want to go

Let’s solve your most pressing business problems through a rapid, business-problem-driven, and human-centric approach to create value from day one.

  • Your goals and metrics: All works start from your most important business metrics and what’s standing between where you are and where you want to go.

  • Business-problem definition: Each initiative focuses on finding the key problems. Instead of creating a rigid initial plan we focus on the goal and the problems we want to solve.

  • Agile: We work in intensive 2-week sprints, ensuring our work keeps momentum. We define core business problems in days and develop a comprehensive understanding of your customers and processes in weeks, not months.

  • Rapid Prototyping & testing: Using lean design thinking, we build and test prototypes with real employees and customers. The model validates solutions before we even think about implementation.

  • Co-creative: We work side by side with your leaders and teams to build ownership and to ensure the solutions are created with the people who will actually use them — not delivered to them.

Format: Evidence-based, business-problem-driven, and human-centered. We start from your real business problems and design solutions that are tested in real-life contexts using prototypes or pilots. We ensure solutions are genuinely valued by your customers/users, applicable in everyday work, and deliver the intended business impact. Ideal for leaders who need to solve complex growth or efficiency challenges without the weight of traditional, slow-moving consulting.

Pricing: Fixed price or time-and-material based consulting. Let’s book a call to start working towards your goals!

    Jan Willamo, CTO, Roschier Attorneys Ltd.

  • "Villiam provided our EMBA groups with an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of AI, the AI disruption, and change management. His human-centric approach to the AI transition seamlessly integrated strategic, technological, and human perspectives into a clear and cohesive whole."

  • Virkkunen is one of the best trainers I have ever come across. Inspiring, attentive, safe, smart and highly perceptive of situations. A brilliant persona! Thank you for the wonderful training

  • "I have never experienced this kind of psychological safety in a workplace before — that it has genuinely been thought about and effort has been put into it. Of course, many things contribute to the feeling of safety, but in this context it has been helped at least by the fact that the topic has been introduced at a conceptual level from the very beginning, and openness related to it has, in my view, also been encouraged."

    Average score for psychological safety in the team: 4.9/5

  • "Safe space is talked about a lot and usually that concept doesn't really resonate with me, but about your sessions I can say that you are one of the best people at creating a safe space."

  • "We now reached a level [in AI] that a whole year's worth of keynote speeches has not managed to achieve. I have previously understood the possibilities of AI in theory, but only now did I truly understand in practice what they mean at their best in my own work"

    Director responsible for personal customer business in a Large Finnish Bank
    Feedback from the workshop: "AI as a leadership sparring partner”

  • "Villiam is a brilliant consultant. He is ambitious and follows the latest research in the field of management. He has great skills in problem solving and he communicates clearly and inspirationally his knowhow to customers."

  • An excellent training that helped me understand new things about myself. The training brought together a wonderful group of people, whose strengths trainer Villiam Virkkunen managed to conjure into a shared resource for everyone

    Participant in the "Influencing and Interaction Skills" training program

  • "Villiam was simply great to work with. Relaxed but professional, supported me when I wanted, appreciated support when I gave it. We could always call each other and get more clarity on what was going on. I would very much like to work with Villiam in the future again."

Experiences from my training sessions (in finnish):

“Erittäin hyvä koulutus, joka auttoi minua ymmärtämään uusia asioita itsestäni. Koulutuksessa oli paikalla hieno porukka, jonka vahvuudet kouluttaja Villiam Virkkunen onnistui taikomaan kaikkien yhteiseen käyttöön. Virkkunen oli muutenkin yksi parhaista kouluttajista, joihin olen ikinä törmännyt. Innostava, kuunteleva, turvallinen, fiksu ja tilanteita herkästi aistiva. Loistava persona! Kiitos upeasta koulutuksesta.”

— Valmennuksen osallistuja

“Koulutus oli mielestäni harvinaisen onnistunut. Harjoitukset ja keskustelut olivat aitoja, ei tullut oloa, että suoritetaan päälleliimattuja, roolitettuja tehtäviä, joissa osallistujien olo on vaivaantunut. Päin vastoin, uskon, että moni hämmästyi omalla kohdallaankin heittäytymistä ja avoimuutta.”

— Valmennuksen osallistuja

Upea koulutus ja oli hienoa, etten oikein tarkemmin tiennyt mihin / millaiseen koulutukseen olin menossa. Olen edelleen hämmentyneen iloinen, että sain työnantajaltani koulutuksen joka tuki itseni kehittymistä kokonaisvaltaisesti ja jossa sain olla aidosti vain oma itseni enkä työminä. Tälläinen tuntui voimaannuttavalta ja tarpeelliselta. Se myös nosti rakkauttani työnantajaani kohtaan.
