Why HELSINKI ?
Helsinki is one of Europe’s best-kept innovation secrets: a compact, hyper-connected city where world-class tech talent, bold startups and government digital leadership converge.

Finland consistently ranks #1 in digital competitiveness. Helsinki is home to a government that codes, an education system that produces top engineers, and a culture that values radical transparency and trust.

They lived it.
Three Executive Committees, three challenges, three results. Anonymized at clients’ request.
Danone
Challenge
A global food and beverage leader wanted to broaden its strategic perspectives to strengthen its ability to steer categories undergoing rapid change. The challenge was to develop collective intelligence among senior leaders, embed a shared culture of innovation, and stimulate an “outside-in” mindset capable of transforming their value-creation practices.
↓
Immersion designed
We designed a hybrid journey combining 6 online sessions and a 4-day Learning Expedition in Copenhagen, structured around 4 independent tracks. The expedition immersed participants in a renowned Nordic innovation ecosystem, through industrial site visits, meetings with startups, researchers and scientists, as well as collaborative workshops using design thinking. Collective reflection sessions enabled participants to challenge established models, strengthen team cohesion, and translate inspiration into actionable ideas.
↓
Outcome
The program brought together 23 senior leaders (SVPs, VPs and Directors) and achieved a satisfaction score of 9.6/10. Participants left with a stronger innovation mindset, an enhanced ability to collaborate creatively, and practical tools to turn external inspiration into concrete business opportunities.
SNCF
Challenge
Facing market liberalization and increased competition, a large national railway group undergoing major transformation wanted to accelerate the development of its high-potential managers. The challenge was to inspire them with innovative management practices and strengthen their ability to drive collective performance in an increasingly competitive environment.
↓
Immersion designed
We designed a 4-day Learning Expedition in Barcelona for 60 managers from the parent company and its subsidiaries, structured around 3 thematic tracks: Alignment, Agility and Competitiveness. The program began with an opening evening in Spain’s oldest gallery, featuring a keynote by a high-level athlete. Over the following days, participants met with leading Barcelona-based organizations, across a total of 20 visits and exchanges. The program concluded with a collective capitalization session, during which each group prepared a restitution to share with their teams.
↓
Outcome
100% of participants said they would recommend the program to a colleague. Beyond individual learnings, the experience strengthened connections across subsidiaries and opened new perspectives on the meaning of performance.
Vinci
Challenge
The executive committee of a European leader in real estate and building services wanted to explore best practices in building decarbonization and innovation in occupant services. The objective was to accelerate its own strategic transformation and strengthen its ability to meet evolving client needs.
↓
Immersion designed
We designed two complementary Learning Expeditions to Copenhagen and Helsinki for 12 executive committee members. In Copenhagen, a 4-day program combined field visits and expert meetings with leading organizations such as COWI, BLOXHUB, Rockwool and EFFEKT. Discussions covered low-carbon construction, circular economy models and smart city innovation, complemented by visits to Copenhill and pioneering urban districts. In Helsinki, a 3-day expedition explored decarbonization and circular economy trends in Finland’s building sector, through 5 expert roundtables, a visit to a low-carbon district and an outdoor team-building activity.
↓
Outcome
The program achieved a satisfaction score of 8.6/10. Beyond collective inspiration, participants left with concrete and transferable insights into decarbonization strategies at the scale of both a city and an entire industry.
