Hannes Snellman is also happy to announce that the cooperation between Hannes Snellman and Päätös will continue after the summer with all-new episodes and guests.

The focus of the Päätös podcast is business life, which is a relevant and interesting topic for us. We see the legal side of decision-making in our work but not what happens inside different companies when decisions are made. There is a lot for us that can be learnt and discussed in this context, and it is exciting to be a part of making these discussions happen. Moreover, there are always consequences for making or not making a decision. It is interesting to see how this issue is addressed.

The podcast also provides views to leadership, team building, pursuing strategies and goals, and communicating with other people. The diverse experiences and backgrounds of the guest speakers bring another level of meaning to these themes”, say Partners Riikka Rannikko and Mikko Heinonen about Hannes Snellman’s cooperation with Päätös.

The acclaimed Päätös podcast (Finnish for ‘decision’) is hosted by Katja Boxberg and Samppa Vilkuna. The podcast focuses on the topic of decision-making processes, and it highlights some of the most interesting expert profiles and top leaders of the business scene in Finland. In the episodes, the hosts interview the varying guests on their learnings and takeaways from decisions they have made in their lives. The hosts Katja Boxberg and Samppa Vilkuna are the authors of Päätös, a book published in 2021, and have been working together for over 25 years. Katja is one of Finland's most experienced economics reporters, and Samppa is the founder and owner of marketing communications agency Superson.
