Project description
The main objective of the project is to develop the RDI profile of social and health service enterprises and strengthen their RDI competences and networks. It also aims to identify and develop productive and effective RDI activities related to the multi-producer model, including strengthening the building of collaborative networks by making the multi-producer model a practical part of the normal operations of enterprises. The project will strengthen the innovation capacity and competences of enterprises, thereby contributing to the strengthening of the innovation ecosystem in the province and broadening the range of actors involved in RDI activities.
The project will implement the following actions:
1. to identify the current RDI profile of social and health service enterprises and the current state of RDI competence, plans and capacity for multi-productivity.
2. to identify the key areas of RDI efforts of enterprises and to develop a 'RDI pathway' towards effective multi-productivity in the social and health services sector.
3. supporting and coaching enterprises on the RDI pathway and strengthening their RDI profile, capabilities and RDI cooperation networks
4. Strengthening RDI and business competences of private social and health service providers linked to the multi-producer model by piloting the multi-producer model.
5. Ensure continuity, dissemination of results and develop a plan for consolidation.
As a result of the project, the RDI competences, profile, capabilities and capacities of enterprises for multi-production have been identified and strengthened, and a number of new business models have been developed.Continuity will be ensured by integrating the results and models created into the normal activities of K-S entrepreneurs and Jamk (Entrepreneurs' Forum, Future Factory® and Innoflash).
Project results
Research, development and innovation (RDI) activities, digitalisation and e-services, and the development of network social and health services are recommended to improve cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
The main objective of the OsmoKS project was to develop the RDI competences and digital capacities of Central Finland's health and social services enterprises, as well as effective RDI activities related to the network services model, also strengthening the development of cooperation networks. The OsmoKS project was funded by the Regional Council Central Finland with AKKE funding and was implemented from 1.3.2024 to 28.2.2025.
The development was based on a survey of the current state of RDI activities and digital capabilities of the social and health care enterprises and support service providers in the Central Finland welfare area, as well as their plans and capabilities for network services. The survey was conducted through a questionnaire and interviews in spring 2024, and the results have been published in the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences Publications series (342, 2025).
During the project, an RDI pathway and supporting RDI coaching material were compiled. Three RDI coaching sessions - Light the spark, Feed the flame and Let it burn were offered to companies. In addition, a fourth one 'O the flames' was organised on the theme of networking - meeting funders and partners. A blog on the RDI coaching sessions has been published in the Jamk Public Arena.
The network services material on cooperation and contracts was compiled, as well as three pilots, one of which, 'Same-sector consortium - a case of non-urgent patient transport', progressed to contract and practical action. The other two pilots, 'a consortium of complementary actors' and 'an alliance model', are in the planning phase.
The material produced by the project is available on the project website OsmoKS-projekti - Yrittajat.fi.
