PHD  title: Transition through co-creation in social and healthcare services?

Supervisors: Jari Stenvall (Tampere University), Mika Nieminen (VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland)

This dissertation studies whether co-creation can truly renew public sector social and healthcare services in Finland and is based on four published peer-reviewed articles. The results show that the system can be reformed, but there is a need for systemic changes to utilize the potential of co-creation. Required systemic changes have been identified from the previous literature, and new knowledge has been produced based on empirical studies introduced in Papers 1 and 2. The results indicate the need to promote learning and how to co-create with users, initiate long-term policy actions, and understand change as a constellation of different changes in the system.
