FORESIGHT FOR STRATEGY WORK IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

As the Finnish healthcare sector underwent a transformative reform, 2M-IT, a publicly-owned company supporting the IT systems of 100,000 social and healthcare professionals, needed to anticipate and adapt to the changes ahead.

2M-IT used Futures Platform to understand its evolving operational environment and identify the opportunities, risks and necessary actions to navigate the transformation successfully.

By harnessing Futures Platform’s rich trend database and its visually engaging collaboration tools, 2M-IT achieved the following outcomes:

• Established a structured, collaborative and continuous foresight practice within the organisation

• Effectively communicated future changes to the top management well in advance, enabling proactive risk mitigation

• Expanded the scope of their foresight work from a small team of four to involve all 750 employees of the organisation
