Project results

MUTKA project (1.10.2021-31.8.2023) brought together 20 micro companies and small-sized enteprises operating in north Central Finland region and Jyväskylä, with a focus on enhancing their adaptability and well-being through developmental coachingprocess. 

During the developmental coaching period, these companies crafted well-being and development plans for themselves. These plans served as the foundation for experimenting with new thought and operational models that supported both ability to change and well-being. Throughout the coaching, entrepreneurs and companies acted as peers to each other, often as well as a tight developmental partners, which garnered significant praise from the entrepreneurs. This peer-based collaboration involved sharing common experiences, exchanging new business ideas, and discussing challenges and opportunities in the operational environment. 

As a result of the project, the companies experienced improved well-being and adaptability, established new networks, and enhanced the conditions for sustainable business operations. The project's impact was assessed using various qualitative and quantitative metrics, including interviews conducted with the companies both at the start and conclusion of the coaching period.
