Antti Pitkänen had the role of research manager of the Design ROI project team. The team consisted of 5 young researchers or students writing their Master Thesis. Antti had a crucial role in planning, leading and supervising the teams work. Design ROI research proved to be exceptionally successful. New editions of the report have been taken, and translation into English is in progress. A continuing project for expanding the research in partnership with manufacturing companies is now in planning phase. As a summary, Antti did exellent work and I'm looking forward for further joint projects with him in the future.

Antti lead the Design ROI research project with a positive and supportive attitude. He was relentlessly giving a thumbs up and saying you can do it - keeping us in focus and in progress. I look up to his way of discovering each individuals strengths and dividing tasks accordingly - an essential capability in tight scheduled projects. I hope our paths cross and I'll have the chance to work with him again.
