Gabriella Hauser

Gabriella Hauser joined Tieto 2010. She strongly believes that the key to success in business is to provide the correct information to the correct person at the correct time, thereby ensuring that decisions are based on correct information. Technology, independent on brand, is a tool to achieve this goal and needs to be adapted to the customer’s needs and create a solid foundation for both the long term and short term roadmap. Interacting with Tieto’s customers so we jointly adapt successfully to the ever changing reality is her mission. Her motto both in her work life and private life is in essence summed up by Henry Miller – “Ones destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things”.

Having had an enjoyable evening singing along with the “Feed me, Feed me” lines in Little Shop of Horrors, a part of the dialogue made me pause the DVD: Patrick Martin (http://www NULL.imdb NULL.com/name/nm0000902/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Me and the guys at the home office have been following this plant of yours. We’ve come up with one incredible idea. We’re very proud of [...]

Why the Nordics are a different kettle of fish – driving forces for mobile payments

by Gabriella Hauser, April 4, 2013,

There is one major driving force for mobile payments – shared by, what looks like the rest of the world except for the Nordics – the elimination of cash. Elimination of cash Wherever you look around the world cash elimination is the major source for promoting mobile payments. The drive both from the market, government and merchants are strong everywhere – except in the Nordics. Cash transactions are not wanted anymore as they can act [...]

Freefalling into another universe – or why is the way of product development so different in the manufacturing and financial sectors?

by Gabriella Hauser, December 21, 2012,

Coming from the manufacturing world, before joining Tieto to work with our financial customers, I started off by freefalling as I was just assuming certain things would be the same. My assumptions were based on identified similarities for product development in the financial and manufacturing sector that were very clear (to me at least…). But as my assumptions were based on previous experience, the sum, none the less, were totally wrong…

Handelsbanken + UK = the perfect match by design or by chance?

by Gabriella Hauser, November 23, 2012, 
(380)

The Handelsbanken way seems to be the perfect match to gain momentum in the UK – is it by chance or by design? Can HR aspects be the winning differentiator? So why do I bring in HR into the equation? We are of course talking about taking new market shares, offering a stable bank service in a market that has been shaken by mistrust and numerous other factors that impact bank customer behavior. But – [...]

Continuing around the heroes of future business and the Swedbank project BART. What is the factor that is missing and how can Swedbank ensure that they bring Mobile Payments into our everyday life! – Part 2

Continuing the reasoning from Part 1 around what makes the BART project (http://www NULL.swedbank NULL.se/privat/internet-och-telefontjanster/bart/index NULL.htm?wt_query_text=BART), initiated by Swedbank to bring mobile payments into our everyday life, so interesting. I concluded the blog post with the conclusion that I was missing something. A differentiator that might make a huge difference to the project’s success, but is not part of the current setup.

“One’s destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things” ~ Henry Miller Going back to Star Trek, so we stay in context, this is what sparked my thoughts around innovation and how to catch the business of the future: – “I thought Starfleet rules said that it was an unacceptable risk, going back to save him” — Lt. Dolby – “It was. However, I recently realized that [...]

Click here to read part 1! “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” George Orwell (http://www NULL.brainyquote NULL.com/quotes/authors/g/george_orwell NULL.html) In part 1 we took a closer look at how activities around competence optimization can be perceived as threatening rather than well intentioned. Now we will dig down into some of the different, but very common, approaches to competence optimization and how the same [...]

Why do competence optimization become Utopia when it should be a commodity? Part 1

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” George Orwell (http://www NULL.brainyquote NULL.com/quotes/authors/g/george_orwell NULL.html) I do not think anyone share that sentiment from Orwell’s Animal farm. But are we accidentally triggering a behavior that make the above look like a rather horrible reality? In our work life we all share one common need – no matter what position we have – and that is: TO FIND [...]

by Gabriella Hauser, April 4, 2012,

In Part 1 I raised the question if we are missing catching ideas for our future business. In Part 2 I will look at some interesting approaches by some of the forerunners on how to make business out of internal ideas to catch the future business. Google – 20% of EVERY employee’s time is dedicated to coming up with ideas – big and small – to increase Google’s effectiveness & business. It would be very interesting to have access [...]

“You’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”  – Wayne Gretzky What if a majority of the financial companies’ future business ideas are caught in a worm hole and cannot warp out of it? Having pondered how some of the most progressive companies work to meet the future, often well in advance to the rest of the market, I happened to see an old episode of Star Trek. The below dialogue from Voyager [...]
