Speaking

Topics and formats.

Talks are written for the room. Tell me what the audience has to decide on Monday morning, and I will write to that decision.

§ 01Topics

Four areas I speak on.

Each can be tailored for ministerial, regulatory, board, academic, or press audiences. Working languages: English and Finnish.

Procurement & sovereignty

Sovereignty as procurement

The control–code–exit framework, applied to a real procurement decision in front of the audience. Designed for senior buyers, CIOs, and policy directors.

Resilience

Measurable digital resilience

From the Finnish 2026 ministerial report: how to define, measure, and govern resilience as a property of public infrastructure. For ministries, supervisory authorities, and operators of essential services.

AI governance

AI governance for accountable institutions

Evaluation, accountability, and procurement discipline for public-sector AI deployment. For regulators, boards, and senior civil servants.

Parliamentary capacity

Knowledge-based policymaking and the parliamentary deficit

Why parliaments need their own technical capacity, and what a workable cross-partisan model looks like. For party schools, parliamentary services, and democracy-focused foundations.
