Case Study: S Group strengthens strategic foresight with Aalto EE's Executive Education program

S Group strengthens foresight skills in a 3-day Aalto EE program

S Group, a Finnish retail cooperative, sought practical tools to enhance its strategic foresight capabilities amidst intense competition in the consumer goods trade. Two of its employees, Kati Harki and Heidi Kääriäinen, enrolled in the Strategic Foresight in Business Management program offered by Aalto EE to gain new methods for structuring future scenarios and data-driven decision-making.

Aalto EE's program provided a balanced combination of foresight theory and hands-on practice with various tools. The solution gave participants fresh perspectives, valuable insights from other organizations, and a favorite practical tool called Futures Tables. As a result, Harki and Kääriäinen actively shared their learnings across S Group through presentations and workshops, strengthening the view that foresight is a collaborative effort and embedding new capabilities more effectively within the organization.
