Esineiden internet (IoT) muutosprojekti pk-yrityksessä - Mitä onnistunut muutos edellyttää?
(2020)
Tämän kehittämistehtävän tarkoitus on ymmärtää, miten organisaatiot suunnittelevat esineiden internetin (IoT)-ratkaisua omaan toimintaympäristöönsä sekä arvioivat ratkaisun vaikutuksia omiin prosesseihin. Tavoite on selvittää, mitä toimenpiteitä vaaditaan, että ratkaisu saadaan otettua yritysasiakkaan operatiiviseen käyttöön. Tieto hyödyttää kehittämistehtävän toimeksiantajaa ymmärtämään, mitä muutoksia ratkaisun hankinta edellyttää asiakkaan organisaatiossa. Tulosten perusteella lisätään käsitystä siitä, miten muutos käytännössä näyttäytyy asiakkaan toimintatavoissa. Toisena hyötynä korostetaan asiakkaan tarvitsemaa tukea ratkaisun toteutukseen, jotta se tuottaa arvoa koko potentiaalilla ja mahdollisuuksilla.
Esineiden internet on teknologia, joka tuottaa dataa sellaisista paikoista, joista sitä on ollut jopa mahdotonta keretä aikaisemmin. Muutosprojektin onnistumista tarkasteltiin tietoperustan synteesin kolmen kulmakiven kautta. Ne ovat 1) strategia ja liiketoimintamalli, 2) datan kerääminen, hyödyntäminen ja älykäs data-analytiikka sekä 3) muutosprojektin johtaminen. Kehittämistehtävä toteutettiin toimeksiantona Telia Groupin sisällä toimivalle Division X organisaatiolle. Division X edustaa uusien liiketoimintamahdollisuuksien kehittämistä sekä niiden tuottamista nopeasti asiakkaiden käyttöön. Kehittämistehtävän menetelmä on monitapaustutkimus. Toimeksiantajan edustajan kanssa valittiin kolme tapausta, joissa kyseinen IoT-ilmiö hiljattain toteutui projektina. Kahden tapauksen osalta toteutettiin kokonainen tapaustutkimus, jossa saatavilla olevan aineiston lisäksi haastateltiin sekä Telian osapuolia, että asiakkaan edustajia. Monitapaustutkimukselle ominaista on se, että tapauksia ja niiden erillisiä analyysejä lopuksi vertaillaan ristiin. Analysoinnin tavoitteena oli saada aikaan synteesi.
Keskeisenä tuloksena ja johtopäätöksenä vahvistuu asiakkaan tarvitsema tuki suunnitteluprosessin aikana, ratkaisun vaikutusten tunnistaminen sekä tuki uuden toimintamallin kehittämiseen. Telialle ehdotettu liiketoimintasparraajan rooli tuo esiin onnistumisia toteutetuista tapauksista sekä haastaa asiakasta innovoimaan omaa liiketoimintamallin kehittämistä. Telian ja asiakkaan yhteinen tavoite on toteuttaa ratkaisu niin, että palvelun hyödyt saadaan heti käyttöönoton jälkeen esille ja tuloksia aikaan. Kehittämistehtävän lopputulos on muutoskanvaasi, jossa kiteytyy muutoksen kannalta tärkeitä näkökulmia, kuten suunnitteluprosessi ja henkilöstön sitouttaminen muutosprojektiin....

Kiertotalouden keinoin kohti ekologisempaa lemmikkieläinalaa
(2023)
on tarjolla valtava määrä. Ekologisten tuotteiden tai palvelujen tarjonta on kuitenkin toistaiseksi hyvin vähäistä. Lemmikkieläinala on vielä selvästi vihreän siirtymän alkutaipaleella. Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena on selvittää mitä ekologisia tuotteita ja...
To fight climate change, there is a pressure for reducing carbon emissions within the EU. Finland targets to become a carbon neutral nation by 2035. A central step towards this goal is reducing the overconsumption of natural resources by implementing circular economy. However, there are five alternative circular economy business models, and their suitability may vary across different fields of commerce, creating the need for assessment prior to their implementation. While there is a large selection of pet consumables, few of these are ecological nor are the services. The pet industry is in a relatively early phase towards a green transition. The aim of this thesis is to explore the availability of ecological pet products, identify what actions could be done to make the industry more ecological, collect and analyze the consumers` evaluation of the negative impacts of pet products and survey what kind of ecological products and services the consumers would like to use. The purpose of this thesis is to assess what circular economy models are implementable to the pet industry, while giving development proposals to how the industry can become more ecological. The findings of this thesis could support the consultation enterprise of Gaia Consulting. The theoretical framework reviews sustainable development, circular economy and the circular economy business models, sustainable consumer behavior and the important role of younger people mitigating climate change. Additionally, the EU green deal program and Finland’s circular economy goals, linear economy, megatrends, EU strategy for textiles and Finnish household consumption and its carbon footprint are discussed. In the empirical part of the thesis, qualitative and quantitative research methods were applied. Five specialists within the pet industry were interviewed regarding the current and future situation of the industry. To gain consumer perspective, a survey was widely distributed through social media as well as conducted on site at a pet store in Helsinki. Through the interviews it became evident that some companies have already made plans to make their operations greener. Additionally, the consumer results showed that there is a high interest for ecological products and services. The results of this study suggest that all the five circular economy business models could be utilized towards a more sustainable growth of the industry. Elements such as sustainable design, resale and repair are particular keystones towards a green transition. The results are also relevant in other similar fields of commerce such as kids and baby consumables and sales of seasonal products. Legislation, economic incentives and consumer demand are important drivers when moving towards a circular economy. To facilitate the transition, companies and consumers should be able to establish a dialogue for the development and demand to meet. Companies should also utilize their pre-existing customer relations to speed up the transition towards a circular economy. Companies in the pet industry have a strong potential to develop and implement circular economy business models for which there is available fundings. Changing the overall consumer attitudes to become more circular economy friendly accompanied by a positive communication around the topic are crucial attributes for a successful transition.
