This is how we created our living strategy
How does the upcoming decade look like in research and education? What choices should Aalto make to prosper?
In 2019, we created our new living strategy together with Aalto community and our stakeholders.
We have adopted a living strategy approach tailored for a world in motion. Our purpose, values, and way of working define our long-term direction while our choices are proactively and continuously re-evaluated. You are welcome to contribute!
Our current strategy will continue throughout 2020, and the new strategy will come into effect on 1 January 2021.

Thank you for your input so far! Stay tuned to participate in the future discussions as well.
Your views are valued
We appreciate the expertise and vision of both our community and our stakeholders, and therefore you are always welcome to contribute to our living strategy.
This is how we did it together
We invited all members of Aalto community from personnel to students and our stakeholders to join our strategy preparation process. During 2019, a total of 820 Aaltoes participated in four community events open to all. Besides these, there were a number of workshops and other events organized by departments and units. From all these and online, we received a total of over 3300 comments. All feedback was analysed and taken into account during the process.
As part of a number of processes and working groups, we analyzed our operating environment and examined our own actions. Also, the students looked at the megatrends. We utilised a large variety of background materials and evolving documents that were categorized and updated constantly online. Background materials consisted of, for example, the Research, Art and Impact Assessment (RAI evaluation 2018), the annual University review and other future-oriented documents such as Art and creative practices, Campus vision, Digital Aalto, Service vision, Lifelong learning and Educational portfolio.

The quality of thinking improves when hundreds of people contribute to the formulation of strategy, says Assistant Professor Timo Vuori.
