Driving Renewal

Driving Renewal is an AI translated version of the "Uudistajat" podcast series, originally in Finnish. This podcast series delves into organizational renewal through conversations with various experts. The goal is to understand what renewal looks like in different work environments, what it entails in practice, and what it requires from us as people. The podcast is originally hosted by Satu Rekonen, a university lecturer at Aalto University's Department of Industrial Engineering and Management. In these episodes, you'll hear Satu, and her podcast guests, speaking in an AI-generated voice, as we wanted to experiment with an artificial intelligence translation and a text-to-speech service.
