Future project, backround

1. Future project, backround • Idea from SKOL board of directors for action plan 2006 • Scenarios and future trends by customers and branches • Scenario projects and methods (Kiiskinen) • WG Vesa Junttila, Raimo Pehrsson, Olli Manner, Harri Mäkelä, Kari Lautso, Jyrki Jalli, Tommi Tuominen, Petri Sjöholm • WG 10/2006-5/2008, scenario tools • Global trends • Customers and business • Competence areas • Potential future trends and scenarios • Future barometer ? • SWOT-analysis and update of SKOL strategy ? • Personell and customer satisfaction studies 2009, (PSYCON) • Leadership education program (JTO) 8/2008- • SKOL-YTN, the future of consulting engineering industry

2. Globaalit trends, effects 1 • Expanding of EU • - Importance of regulations and norms • - Possibilities for recruitment increases • - For Finnish companies it is easier to operate in other EU-countries • Global new labour market • Global know-how and expertise • - Small and middle-size projects are still local • - Challenges to leadership for new generation • Globalisation of infrasector can be slower • Global groups and clients • - Expertise is becaming more narrow • - Wide-range expertise and project management in big projects

3. Globaalit trends, effects 2 Automation and digital services - More automation know-how needed - Telematics and ICT needed everywhere - Importance of building services Environmental questions - Energy efficiency - Environment ja emission trade Experiece economy (tourism) - Design, ergonomy and interior design - Importance of behavioral science, brands and trends are increasing Elderly problem (Europe) - Lack of experiece - Labour immigration - Projects are “moving” abroad

4. Potential SKOL-scenarios 1 • Competitiviness, development ja profitability • Concentration is going on, only flexible and specialisied can manage • Effectiviness is needed in fixed-price-projects • Meaning of trade cycles, wide-range companies survive better • Main design is still done, basic design will be done in cheaper countries • Networking is in big role, general know-how gives no extra competence • Use of cheap labour is no more possible • Markets and competition • Importance of Russia is bigger, Chinese possibilities are weaker • Competition in Europe is increasing, but not remarkable • Possibilities for growing in Finland are smaller, project export gives work • Clients are using more and more local resources • Management nad control of design tools is important • Manufacturers operate also in consulting engineering area • Markets of environmental engineering are increasing

5. Potential SKOL-scenarios 2 • Resources and know-how • - Know-how of young engineers is not good enough • Co-operation and activities with universities are important • International project groups need special know-how • Better competence is also needed in detail design • Image and visibility • Firms get positive visibility with environment and innovations • Spesialization is increasing and image is getting better • Image is important in recruitment competition among young labour • Labour markets and motivation • Internationalisation is giving force and room abroad • Motivative partnership-companies are born • Salary level is in change • Reward systems are changing, different benefits will be developed • Staff is not so committed as before, labour markets are getting worse
