I\u00a0hope I get the opportunity to work with Stretch again.\u200b<\/em>&#8220;<br><br>\u2013 Marika Jonson, Project Manager, Department of Community Development,\u00a0Botkyrka\u00a0Municipality<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-large\">Representatives from across Sweden were keen to see practical examples of how we organized and streamlined the municipality\u2019s digital\u00a0workspace. Interest in our project had grown exponentially following a forum on the digitalization of the civil service. Everyone wanted to see\u00a0an example and find out how we achieved it.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-large\">One of several crucial key component in the project was individual coaching for leaders, which swiftly established a solid ground for new ways\u00a0of working and a digital channel strategy. Through individual sessions where they could ask all the \u201cstupid\u201d questions (no such thing, right?),\u00a0the leaders received practical advice on how to make their lives easier in the digital world.\u00a0\u200bAlongside the individual coaching for leaders, a group of ambassadors also received practical assistance in digitalizing their own ideas. They\u00a0learned to automate their time-consuming work processes.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-large\">To achieve continuity and oversight, we created a simple, process-based information architecture in Microsoft 365.\u200b The practical advice wasn\u2019t just about how to cleverly use SharePoint and Microsoft Teams but also included tips about the Edge browser and\u00a0smart functions in Windows.\u200b Users who digitalized their own ideas did so through Microsoft Power Platform. The practical guidance to get started with the platform is\u00a0already saving several valuable hours. This is just the beginning of future ways of working.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-large\">The success of the project quickly rippled out and, through the \u2018Share Digitally\u2019 forum, gathered considerable curiosity, so much so that the entire project team was invited to share practical examples of the project. The team conducted a presentation via Microsoft Teams for over 100 representatives from municipalities, regions, and public authorities across Sweden. An amazing experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Botkyrka <strong>Municipality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-large\">The fifth-largest municipality in Stockholm, with 91,000 residents,\u00a0Botkyrka\u00a0is home to one of Sweden\u2019s youngest and most\u00a0international populations. The Department of Community Development in\u00a0Botkyrka\u00a0municipality, like all municipalities, is working\u00a0towards achieving an uninterrupted digital community development process by 2027.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"mailto:ability@stretch.se\">Contact Stretch Ability<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":707,"template":"","news-category":[21],"class_list":["post-2118","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stretch.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stretch.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stretch.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stretch.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.stretch.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stretch.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stretch.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stretch.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-category?post=2118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
