Creating Digital Strategy for City of Helsinki
Project Details
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
New Chief Digital Officer of City of Helsinki needed someone with strong facilitation and strategic skills to help create digital strategy and align it with the overall strategy of the City.
Large-scale workshops involved people from tens of different units working with digital development. At that point, hundreds of projects or initiatives are going on and there was very little cross-functional collaboration.
Workhops served as a platform for people to come together. Peoplegeeks has been designing and facilitating large-scale development projects and collaboration projects. We are recommended as partners for digital development planning. The idea was clear – to help the CDO get ideas and input, collaboration and involvement of hundreds of professionals and move the needle forward towards a common planning and governance.
At the end of our workshops, results were:
- Better alignment throughout the City’s digital and IT professionals, managers and unit leaders about which areas to focus on collaboratively
- Alignment on next steps for setting up a governance model for the common development streams
- People getting to know each other cross-functionally and finding possible collaboration areas
- Identifying key people to take on responsibilities in leading and facilitating the common digital work within the City
We help organizations do smarter things and do them smarter.
