Seppo Heikura
IT- ja teknologiajohtaja, Fonecta

Seppo Heikura on toiminut Fonectan IT- ja teknologiajohtajana vuodesta 2010. Vaikkei ihan diginatiivi olekaan, on Seppo ollut tavalla jos toisella tekemässä töitä liiketoimintalähtöisen digitransformaation kanssa internetin aikojen alusta lähtien. Aiemmin Seppo on seurannut ja soveltanut tätä kehitystä finanssi- ja telekommunikaatioalan näkökulmista, mukaan lukien näiden alojen omat murrosvaiheet ylä- ja alamäkineen. 

Jo varhaisessa vaiheessa syttyi lamppu, että oman organisaation oppimisen lisäksi asiakkaiden saaminen mukaan muutokseen on ensiarvoisen tärkeää. Omakin muutoskivi on toki pidettävä liikkeessä ja välttää sammaloituminen motivoitumalla jatkuvaan henkilökohtaiseen uudistumiseen. Nyt Seppo soveltaa näitä oppeja Fonectalla mediatoimialan näkökulmasta, tavoitteena tehdä tiedosta asiakkaille arvokasta ja saada asiakkaat kohtaamaan omat asiakkaansa entistä paremmin. Sisäiseltä kantilta katsottuna Fonectan uudistuminen on jo monella mittarilla tarkasteltuna pitkällä, esimerkiksi arkkitehtuuri ja talon toimintaa muutoinkin on käännetty monessa kohtaa digitaalista aikaa tukevaan muotoon. 

Ajan hengen mukaisesti testaamalla oppien ja ”walk the talk” -asennetta noudattaen mennään: samaan aikaan, kun itse testataan ja opitaan, tarjoillaan hyötyjä myös asiakkaiden eduksi.
