Clients

The Danish Ministry of Social Affairs and the Municipality of Aarhus.

Results

  • Added value for the customers: The assignment from the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Municipality of Aarhus was initially 'only' an evaluation of a four-year project. It was Mette Thorsen's idea to add a best practice handbook to the project with the aim of creating a tool that can be easily used in everyday life by different groups of employees.
  • The handbook now forms the basis for the network meeting method that the Aarhus City Council has decided all 16000 employees in the municipality's school districts must use.
  • The network meeting method has subsequently also been implemented in municipalities in Sweden and Norway.
