When everything starts to fall into place
Have you ever experienced a shared flow state? First the group is lost and stagnant. Then something happens, and everyone starts to pull together.
With herd animals, flow is the norm. Think of a group of dolphins approaching a pod of sardines. Dolphins only thrive together. Similarly, sardines protect themselves through dazzling cooperation.
The same is true in team sports. Finland became an ice hockey champion, even when the competitors had better players. The decisive factor was a deep sense of connection.
The same occurs in organisations, but not always. When it does, there is a collective spark, a feeling of belonging, a sense of meaning, a synchronisation of minds. It all starts to come magically together. Everyone excels, ideas flow, and difficulties are overcome.
Is this possible for everyone? We know it is.
This experience of of the power of connection brought us together and launched OK5. We want to help organisations experience the dolphin miracle.
Quality connection is a human right
Achieving a seamless technology-human interaction is a major challenge in the future of work. The lack of connection and poor interpersonal skills are at the heart of all problems in the workplace.
The solution resides at the intersection of technology and human connectedness.
OK5 Ltd. was founded to meet this challenge.

The same is true in team sports. Finland won in hockey, even though the competitors had as good or better players. The decisive factor was the community experience, cooperation. Man is a community animal.
Similar things happen in companies and all kinds of organisations, if they are going to happen. Somewhere there is a common spark, a sense of belonging, an experience of meaning, a synchronisation of the brain. It all starts to come together as if by magic. Everyone gives their best, ideas flow, difficulties are overcome, the upward momentum goes on and on.
Is it possible for everyone? We know it is.
This idea drew us together, and OK5 was born. We have each experienced the power of connection. We want to help businesses experience the dolphin miracle.
Quality connection is a human right
Seamless interaction between technology and people is a major challenge in the world of work. At the heart of all workplace problems is ultimately a lack of contact and poor interpersonal skills - a lack of connection.
To solve it, both human and technological skills are needed.
OK5 Oy was created to meet this challenge.
It started with a vision
Ilona Rauhala had a vision of easy access to psychological knowledge. When she started to digitalise elements of coaching she was joined by Ira Lange. In 2022, Kimmo Kääriä and Iikka Virkkunen joined the team with valuable technological and commercial experience.
A calling
OK5 set out to help organisations implement a coaching style of leadership to better manage psychological capital: emotional atmosphere, collective self-efficacy, psychological safety, and resilience.
OK5 helps organisations to make their learning agile and effective. We combine digital content, learning platforms, artificial intelligence, and face-to-face coaching. For individuals, teams and the whole organisation.
If you are faced with challenges regarding complex organisational change, merger, layoffs, growth or cultural change, our multi-professional and systemic approach is a perfect fit.
