Case Study: Turku School of Economics boosts consulting insight and workshop structure with Futures Platform

Futures Platform is not only a powerful tool when working with clients, but also when preparing for sales

Turku School of Economics’ Lab of Business Disruption Research needed a better way to make sense of fast-changing industry trends, prepare for client engagements, and support workshops with a clear structure. They turned to Futures Platform’s digital foresight solution to help consultants quickly understand the latest developments in an industry and use that insight as a starting point for discussions with clients.

With Futures Platform, the team used expert-curated phenomena, trend radars, and rating features to filter out noise, map impacts over time, and build prioritised matrices and strategic roadmaps. The solution helped Turku School of Economics provoke richer conversations, improve workshop facilitation, and even strengthen sales preparation by enabling Thomas Westerholm to show up informed about client industries; while no hard numerical impact was given, the case highlights significant time savings and better-informed, more actionable foresight work.
