About Prodlect

AI changes your business, twice.

First the technology arrives and your people learn to use it.

Second the logic changes, and those same people reinvent the work itself. The second wave is where the advantage lives, and almost no one is there yet.

Prodlect is where I think this shift through in the open. Mostly the first wave we are all in now, and what it takes to be ready for the second. Here, strategy and AI meet the work of building a business, written for leaders who carry the whole thing, whether that's a business or their own working life.

What you’ll get

Deep articles and practical frameworks on deciding and learning better in the intelligence age. Each piece takes one real problem, names what it costs, and gives you something to think about or act on.

It all sits inside one framework I built for client work and prove on my own business first: the Mika Aaltola IAx Framework. How businesses, products, and people become intelligence-augmented, and how that change actually sticks. Less theory than it sounds. The test is always what you do differently on Monday.

Expensing Prodlect: this is a professional development expense. Most employers cover it from an L&D budget. Worth asking.

About me

I'm Mika Aaltola, founder of Aaltola Advisory. My path runs from operations to product to AI.

I invested a full year in AI, from mid-2025 to mid-2026. I learned the tools, but more importantly what you can change because of them. Now I help individuals and companies make the same leap.

I didn’t make that leap from nowhere. Five years in telecom operations taught me how large, business-critical systems behave under load. Then over a decade in product on a global IoT SaaS platform, through every role. Developer, agile coach, product owner, line manager, head of product owners, and finally product manager. I learned how value gets built at scale, and what breaks when organisations grow without an operating model.

Aaltola Advisory is my own test bed. I run it AI-first, the way I advise others to. Some of what I publish I build for client work and test on my own business. Some I watch up close in the field and take apart. None of it is whiteboard theory.
