Oivallus, which translates as 'a sudden insight' in Finnish, is the title of a three-part research project undertaken by the Confederation of Finnish Industries. It is research on education, business and the future. I found this via OkDo (a site always worth checking with). I have looked online and not been able to find a full english translation of their findings, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere. OkDo has some of the findings,
The first Oivallus report asserts, for example, that in the future work will require more creativity and interdisciplinary thinking and doing, the motivation behind entrepreneurship will lie in a purposeful life instead of mere profit, the collaboration between different generations will become closer, and the public sector will increasingly develop services together with citizens and companies.
Anyway, there are some useful insights offered up, and they seem to have ramifications way beyond Finnish industry if you ask me.
