Our network and our development project strengthens and enhances dialogic and reflective meetings between different parties and multi professional actors in meeting and interaction spaces. During these meetings, competence and renewal as well as related leadership will be boosted during the major changes in the operational environment of the social and health care organisations.
Research focus and goals
The project has four sub-projects, and every sub-project is responsible for the development work in its target organisations.
The aim of our network and the project is to assure the competence, high level of quality, customer orientation and safety as well as employees work ability and well-being during the major changes and in the future operational environment.
The objectives of the project are
- To dialogically and cooperatively develop the employees competence, organizational structures, work and work processes, services as well as the way services are produced and the service culture
- To support and strengthen competent, dialogic, productive and effective leadership
- To strengthen the professional skills and meta-know-how of the participating employees and superiors, such as dialogic course of action, reflective working orientation, change and renewal skills and digitalization
- To prevent psycho-social risks
Impact
The project is national and it will be implemented in nine provinces in Finland. The development method is research-assisted, cooperative and dialogic.
Organisational learning and renewal will be promoted through participatory and dialogic methods and tools that activate creativity and innovation. The stages, execution and methods of development varies between the sub-projects.
The project provides participating organisations a development environment, which enables the renewal, competence development and self-knowledge of the employees as well as the sharing of the knowledge through multiform and participatory methods.
