Tiivistelmä
The Driving Change in Welfare Services for the Aged project publication describes the proven results gained during the course of the project. The goal of the project was to develop the structure and operations of Espoo and Vantaa’s community services for the elderly in such a way that the share of institutional care in services for the elderly diminishes and that as many senior citizens as possible can live at their own homes also in the future. The development project was carried out in cooperation with the cities of Vantaa and Espoo, Aalto University School of Economics, as well as Laurea University of Applied Sciences’ Tikkurila unit from February 1, 2008 to April 30, 2011. The project constituted a part of the European Social Fund’s Leverage from the EU 2007-2013 Continental Finland’s structural fund’s operational program number 3. The project—under the administration of The Ministry of Education and Culture—was funded by the European Social Fund, Uusimaa ELY Centre (Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment), as well as the
cities of Espoo and Vantaa.
The articles in this publication primarily describe the results of cooperation on development. The results are described as development of networks, network competency, good practices, and employees’ professional competency. In addition, the publication includes two articles, one of which considers and assesses the significance of development from the perspective of strategic management, and the other describes students’ perceptions of elderly work.
Naturally, this publication cannot list all the achievements of the project or everything about the development cooperation the parties involved in the project accomplished in the course of more than three years. One essential achievement of the project was the development of an implementation method which is based on working in networks and developing both networks and network competency. All the project results are available at: www.muutosvoimaa-hanke.fi
