Petteri Korkala is the brains and the analyst behind our company. He is the anchor for our visions and dreams, helping us to make them come true! All of this enables our creative workers to have the peace of mind to concentrate on doing what we do best - inspire our clients and partners in our workshops!

In 1969, in Ostrobothnia, the division of the company was already very clear: Petteri would handle all the dry and heavy tasks and I would have all the fun and drink soft drinks...

My fourth ‘child' was born in 2000. The idea came about at a time when I was in art therapy training. It was sparked by the thought of realising oneself through the joy of painting, which was so wonderful that it had to be harnessed for use in the corporate world - in which I was already trained as a skilled coach. The vision of Creative Workshops was so powerful, and I was so passionate about the idea, that I had no doubts about whether or not it would work. I knew that this was what I was meant to do!The first client was the petrol company Esso's international marketing team.

By the year 2007, we had held over 600 workshops according to an old Ostrobothnian motto about modesty:
"We strove for the average, yet we achieved excellence nevertheless!"
