CareerStorm History

10 years of CareerStorm

Web-based tools to support human and organizational development have always been the lifeblood of CareerStorm. Take a look at some of our highlights.

2008 Supporting management team development

CareerStorm develops Leadership Team Success Index™, a web-based survey tool, for Hunting Minds. The company that pioneers in leadership team development uses it to collect information about the current and ideal states of leadership teams.

We used to have to do a lot of manual work to compile the results, but now we get them automatically and fast, without risking mistakes. We are happy to cooperate with CareerStorm as they are flexible and ready to develop the tool further. A new project is already in place, says Helena Åhman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Creative Officer.

The founder of CareerStorm, Heidi Viljamaa, continues to talk about career and life development in the media. She encourages lawyers to develop their career navigation skills in Lakimiesuutiset:

The best opportunities are not necessarily given to the best expert, but to the best career negotiator. They know their strengths and are able to create solutions for real-life problems and establish new contacts.
