“The public services of the future will be built on new types of networks consisting of public, private and third sectors. The public sector is increasingly leading the organization and production of services as well as measuring results and impact. Aalto EE is involved in the building of expertise, collaboration and dialogue within the entire service ecosystem,” says Business Unit Director of Aalto PUBLIC, Dr. Tuula-Riitta Markkanen.
Aalto PUBLIC strengthens interdisciplinary and practical expertise in public management
Aalto PUBLIC develops new concepts and implements public management coaching and development programs. Key themes include management of change and business, public-private operating models, and new management system and administration models. These areas also leverage the strong expertise Aalto has in technology and service design.
“I’m convinced that we’ll be able to provide stronger support for the Finnish public sector as it faces these great changes. Instead of worrying about threats, we need to embrace more opportunities and a new culture of experimentation. At the same time, the Nordic model can be utilized as an export product, as developing countries in particular are actively seeking benchmarks and best practices. Finland and Aalto PUBLIC can take the driver’s seat in this work and build a broader Nordic network,” says Dr. Pekka Mattila, Group Managing Director for Aalto EE and Professor of Practice at Aalto University School of Business.
Aalto EE has trained thousands of leaders and experts in the sector through programs such as the Aalto Executive MBA and MBA, KuntaJOKO, and the Healthcare Management Education Program. The company has also implemented its own, tailor-made Aalto Executive MBA programs for the cities of Helsinki and Espoo. The latest new development was a public-private partnership program concentrating onbusiness expertise and operating in a multi-producer model, which began last fall. This program was created as part of the pilot training program jointly developed by Transformation Academy and five universities.
