A guide to tracking your construction permit

🎧 Priit Koit, the CEO of Utilitas, was a guest at Äripäev Radio's show "Juhtides tulevikku" (Leading Into The Future). 🎧 👉 Among other things, Koit outlined that there’s a myth in the energy sector that the old model will continue to work - that we can persist with the fossil fuel-based approach. "Considering the high costs of energy investments, it would be fair to account the expenses required to keep old equipment operational alongside the investments in new capacity. When doing so, the gaps aren’t as large as they seem. The key is to invest in the right things." Link below to listen in Estonian 👇

Still there is a green light to grow - check the topics and jump in! Eric Butterworth, the best-selling author of insipring books and a leader wrote: “Don't go through life, grow through life.” Research has found that with practice, individuals can build a growth mindset, also ankther research shows the growth mindset as a way to reduce mental health distress. The more I study and research, the more I agree with that opportunities don’t happen, we create them. Have more fun in business analysis!🌿

As some of you have noticed, I’m back in consulting to help also other companies tackle the complexity of abbreviations like DORA, NIS2, E-ITS, and KÜTS. Are these really that challenging? Let’s dive into what they mean (in Estonian this time).

Pleased to share a recent article from Kaubandus.ee in which our board member Margus Olesk discusses the state of the fashion retail business in Estonia, alongside other local business leaders.

Very beautifully written. Does it reflect with you?:) Estonia celebrated it's Independence Day yesterday! My thoughts: In the space of rapid changes we seem to forget that nations are connected to their roots and ancestors by respecting reasonable traditions, the family creative time and care for each other despite the position neither political views. Nation should not be manifested through growth or fall. Growing bigger can be a natural process, going smaller as well. It is hard to accept the mindset of many nations where the part of nation manifesta is built on growing bigger or built on the time in the history where they were big and now longing back this time. Strength is in beneficial politics these days, but still, the real strength is inside us while celebrating the roots as human beings not as nation-minded first. Managing small and smart is sometimes not easy, though absolutely cool when you can know your president or prime minister through only 1 person mostly. Lovely it is to think about living side by side rather than consuming each other :). I'm happy to celebrate that we still live in relatively reasonable times, despite the ongoing conflicts around us.
