Opportunity to Step Up
As the uncertainty around the pandemic continues, we wanted to remind you about an important tool to prepare for the future: scenario planning.
Back in March 2020, we sat down with Risto Siilasmaa, the founder of F-Secure Corporation and the former CEO and chairman of Nokia, to discuss the topic. During the webinar, Risto shared the 6 most important steps in scenario planning and also a few tips on how to succeed in it.
