Also if you are in such situation catch the first SAS ground staff you can find and alert them to your situation. They will always call your gate and inform them that you are on your way. If immigration is involved, cut the queue and ask the officer to clear you as you have a connection in 10 mins.

When I arrived at CPH from LHR, the only SAS ground staff there was a man holding a placard for another flight, when I asked him about the Tokyo flight he said he knew nothing about it (never mind anything about the person who was supposed to specifically come and greet me).
There were no screens with information anywhere, nor anybody else to ask, and I walked briskly for a good few minutes (not even knowing which gate I was headed for) before I finally succumbed to anxiety. I'll assume that as it was the 23rd Dec, perhaps people were taking their Xmas hols already. I transit a lot, but I've never felt so starved of info before, and certainly never when it was so critical.
I'll bear your sound advice for future trips though, alas, it just didn't apply in this instance.
