Impact Leadership in Espoo City

Tackling sustainability challenges requires changes in the public sector roles, operation models and legislation. Local ecosystems have been emphasised as key when turning challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth. Espoo community is a forerunner with a vision of becoming a platform for local innovation and business ecosystems. Having a clear vision and commitment to realise this vision is a critical success factor in making a transformation of this magnitude. In the project with VTT Espoo generated a concrete solution to drive this change, by developing a comprehensive and holistic impact evaluation framework and identified key performance indicators (KPI) to support the strategic target setting and management towards future proof city.
