is changing. Our role is to make the
energy transformation sustainable,
with solutions optimal for different
markets and regions. This will help
us to stay competitive.”
CEO Pekka Lundmark
15. Our Change Journey started over a year ago…
• Spring 2016: New CEO, new corporate strategy and new organizational structure
• Spring 2016: Introduced our Change Management programmes (Customer, Speed and Agility,
Digitalisation, Volatility, Regulation).
• Each program has a programme Lead and an executive sponsor
§ Virtual teams were formed dependent
on who got engaged and who had the change ideas
§ Any person could get engaged quickly and come up with ideas
§ The MWBs act as catalysts around the organization and a framework for creating change
§ Act as role-models for working in a new more agile way
§ KPIs have been created for each MWB

WHAT IS TEAL SUOMI AND HOW TO JOIN?
I am really grateful that Fortum was the first corporation to organize an event where we can talk about a more fulfilling way to run our organizations.
I think this fact tells a lot about Fortum as a corporation. For example the effectivity of power plants are measured by the ratio called availability factor. The better the availability factor, the less time the power plant is out of the game, so they can produce more electricity.
Fortum’s Power Plants availability factors are amongst the best of the world.
So clearly the people at Fortum are doing some things really right! And I would claim that this would not be possible without open mindedness of the people at Fortum to look at also maybe some unconventional ways to make things better.
And I am so excited that the people at Fortum are also interested in new ways of running an organization.
Some 2300 years ago, Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle proclaimed that women have fewer teeth than men. And this idea was accepted in the western world for almost 2000 years – until someone had the most revolutionary idea: Let’s count!
The scientific thinking of formulating and testing a hypothesis is so ingrained into our thinking today, that we find it hard to understand why smart people would just trust authority and not put these assumptions to the test – and just count the teeth.
But scientific thinking just wasn’t around until somewhere in the times of industrial revolution – from where our present thoughts of running organizations and management are inherited.
But what if our thinking too, is simplistic? What if future generations look at our way of operating as childish?
Buurtzorg story
Since 19th century, every neighborhood in the Netherlands had a neighbourhood nurse who would make home visits to care for the sick and the elderly.
In 1990s the health insurance system came up with a logical idea: why not group the nurses into larger organizations? -> Economies of scale
merging of organizations to get even better economies of scale
Tasks were specialized
Planners were hired to make the daily schedules and optimize routes for the nurses
call centers
regional managers and directors were hired
time norms were established: injections 10 minutes, bathing 15 minutes, changing of compression stocking 2,5 minutes
Basically everything makes sense, right? But what about the results?
Patients have lost the personal relationships with nurses: new nurse might come every day
hurried nurses often don’t have time to check the medical histories or listen to the patients needs
Nurse gives bandage, gives the shot and then is out the door
nurses found their job dissatisfying
patients were not happy at all
managers were also dissatisfied - supervising their direct reports, paying close attention to budget variances, double checking each request for resources
Buurtzorg
Founded 2006 by Jos de Blok, who had been a nurse for 10 years
Over 10 000 employees since
Home visits 35 % cheaper
2 billion euros cost savings for Netherlands
Over 70 % market share in Holland and growing
30 % less hospital visits
40 % less use of doctors time
Employees and customers love Buurtzorg (9,1 vs 7,3)
Before
After
Every evening, each nurse now receives a sheet of paper with a detailed plan for the next day, prepared by someone in the planning department she most likely will never meet.
Time norms:
2,5 mins to change compression stocking
10 minutes for a shot
Nurses make their own schedules
Nurses start with having a coffee with the patient and listen to their needs
Many management layers
Hundreds of people working in headquarters
Managers make decisions and handle con
Self-managed teams of 10-12 nurses who make their own decisions regarding their work.
No bosses, nurses lead themselves
Only 30 people work in the headquarters!
Decision making and conflict handling processes
Purpose to be effective and to save tax payers money
Purpose to help people to be as autonomous as possible
Patiens are seen as symptoms to be released
Patients are seen and treated as a whole human beings
Root problems often not medical ones -> for example relationships with children
