Q2. Experiences in the process of developing the vision of Close Carea. Level of participation in the process“We have brought people together in different constellations who have started talking about this and, thus, put Close Care on the map” (participant 13)
“‘I felt not always listened to’ (participant 10)We have worked through this special steering group for Close Care, but maybe we should have worked through our ordinary steering group for cooperation in the region and municipalities to get more involvement” (participant 11)
b. Relevance and usability of the developed visionWhen I saw the other region … target picture I felt: Oh, I really would have liked to have that one. It is a little crazy that one must do something unique and cannot do the same because then it is not ours” (participant 13)
I do not know if I am being controversial here, but I cannot fully understand why all regions should have different visions because I like the SALAR vision the best, and when I explain Close Care, I most often end up with that one instead (of the one from the region of Sörmland) because it makes the most sense to me” (participant 9)
c. Readiness level for organisational change under external time pressurethe vision (for Close Care in Sörmland) is … as all visions, a bit fuzzy, and although we were all part of developing it … it has about the right amount of fuzziness, so we can all sing on the same note. Now we need to be ambassadors for this transition” (participant 2)
“When we started with this work, it felt a little bit like Oh, no! Sörmland is behind, we need to catch up as fast as possible and quickly produce a vision for Close Care” (participant 13)
There is a national directive to make a vision (for Close Care) … I find that model of management a bit troublesome” (participant 11)
“It is a very difficult situation as everything has been delayed because of the pandemic and we are entering an economic regression. Terrible timing. We should have made this transition five years ago” (participant 2)
