Onitio Group AS Strengthens Strategic Integration with Aitoware’s Adaptive Unified Leadership Assessment
Aitoware, the Nordic leadership innovation firm announced today that Onitio has successfully used the Adaptive Unified Leadership Assessment (AULA) to support the company’s leadership alignment and integration process.
The AULA assessment was conducted on a pro bono basis by Harri J. Salomaa, founder of Aitoware, as part of his onboarding to Onitio’s Board of Directors. The process was offered as an internal contribution to support the company’s strategic alignment efforts during a critical phase of transformation.
As Onitio continues to evolve under new ownership and strategic direction, AULA served as a neutral, confidential, and structured way to assess the leadership team’s cohesion, clarity, and readiness to execute. The process provided insights into how aligned the team was around core priorities, how trust and dialogue functioned internally, and where opportunities for strengthening execution existed.
“The AULA process gave us a valuable external mirror,” said Malin Yrwing, CEO of Onitio Group AS.
“It helped us validate where we were aligned as a leadership team and where we could improve, especially as we move deeper into our integration journey. I appreciated the non-blame, constructive nature of the process, it created space for honest and forward-looking dialogue.”
The assessment, developed by Harri J. Salomaa, combines quantitative self-evaluation with qualitative feedback, followed by synthesized insights and actionable next steps.
“It’s a well-structured and trust-based way to align leadership teams, especially useful when multiple cultures or leadership backgrounds are being brought together.”, added Runar Kvåle, Director at Aars AS, Onitio’s parent company.
Aitoware’s AULA service is designed for executive teams navigating change, whether due to M&A, leadership transitions, strategy shifts, or cultural integration challenges. It is built on decades of real-world leadership experience in global organizations and is tailored to each customer context.
“I’m honored to support Onitio’s journey,” said Harri J. Salomaa.
“AULA was created to help leadership teams move forward with shared purpose, and it’s rewarding to see it in action with a company as dynamic and ambitious as Onitio.”
