Sakari Hyppänen

My specialties in IT Management are Vendor Management and Service Integration (SIAM). My 8 years in consulting client industries have included e.g. manufacturing, telecom, pharmaceutical and food. My assignments revolve around SIAM Model design, Vendor Management model design and training, IT Operating Model design, to mention a few. Highlights in my career are the times when we (there is always a team) have been able to exceed customer expectations or turn around a challenging situation. The most rewarding thing about coaching for me is being able to spark lively discussions among the participants by challenging them to think, and then to both see the group get new ideas and to learn new things myself. I am passionate about the idea of holistic wellbeing, as described in Aki Hintsa’s book The Core – Better Life, Better Performance. Adopting his framework has enabled me to divide my time and effort between the various areas of life and lead a more balanced and fulfilling life. One of the key lessons is adopting the 80/20 rule in most things (diet, exercise etc.) and thus avoiding stressful perfectionism.
