Course description
Above all, strategic foresight creates a competitive advantage in an ever-changing business environment. Companies that use foresight and make decisions based on it, shape their business and environment to their own benefit. Strategic foresight is an approach with practical tools for creating a sustainable strategy.
The program teaches you how to use foresight tools and apply them in strategy work and business. It also presents scenario work as a part of foresight.
After completing the program, you will be able to approach strategy work through foresight and build a strategy from the vision up.
The program includes lectures, group work, and exercises, and is very participatory and interactive. It will also feature a guest speaker from the industry.
The program is implemented as an intensive learning session on three consecutive full days. In addition, it includes a mandatory pre-assignment and post-assignment.
The 4.5 ECTS study credits from the program can be transferred to the Aalto Executive MBA or Aalto MBA program. To complete the program, participants must return both the pre- and post-assignments and follow the academic rules.
Teaching takes place at Aalto EE's premises in Helsinki.
