Birthplace of Innovations that
Create New Growth?

renew themselves have leaders that feel
personally responsible for innovations.”
“Whereas companies that have top
executives who consider merely the
facilitation of innovation processes to be their
job, often lack the ability to renew
themselves.”

Identity - who am
I truly, what

5. SESSION
Ownership and
sharing - What do I
want to own?
2. SESSION
Inspiration and
aspiration - What

3. SESSION
Everyday life – from

The future of work

Trends impacting society and
businesses: digitalisation, artificial intelligence,
aging of population, changing working life, globalisation,
robotics, and so on.
• During the five sessions we identify various breaking points of thinking patterns, conventions and attitudes
• Customer’s business is mirrored against these breaking points: 1) Which assumption concerning our
business or industry have come to an end 2) How can we turn these changes around and turn them into
competitive advantage for us?

MILLENNIAL RESCUERS
”S-Bank employs a lot of millennials, but its CEO
Pekka Ylihurula appreciates exceptionally honest and
direct debates he can have with his Millennial Board,
since there is no big boss - junior employee
relationship”.
