Hanko Strategy Coaching

Hanko’s strategy work was carried out to support the renewal of the municipal strategy from autumn 2025 to early 2026. At the outset, a situational analysis was prepared by reviewing the current strategy and other key materials and by compiling observations on the city’s strengths and development needs. As part of the process, an open futures survey was conducted to gather input from residents, staff, entrepreneurs, and associations for the strategy preparation; the survey was carried out in Finnish and Swedish and also included questions supporting the preparation of the wellbeing plan. During the project, workshops were held on-site in Hanko—first for the City Board and later for the City Council and stakeholders—to develop strategic objectives, targets, and key choices. The work made active use of the screen.io tool. In addition, four working meetings were held with core participants to review materials and refine the strategy content. At the end of the process, the outputs from the different phases were compiled, and on that basis a strategy draft was produced for the city to finalise.
