Region Skåne wanted to make sure that the new solution contained all information that the coworkers required, and that it was based on actual needs. It was furthermore important to create a solution where the data was visualized in an easily digested way, also for the less frequent users.

With this overall mission, Stratiteq approached the project with qualitative interviews of managers and controllers to identify the true needs and wishes. What was already working well was documented in order to build on, instead of creating everything from a blank slate.

This was then analyzed and followed by workshops with the financial department where decisions about content and layout were taken. The decisions were documented by Stratiteq, and all the new routines and reports were noted in support documents and guides, provided to the administration.

While the system went through data-updates to assure reliable information, the next step was to use new technics to help the managers work smarter with the help of that same data. The system itself provided information on finances, personnel and production, which is the basic information needed for managers to make their monthly follow-ups.

The highly user-friendly solution that was developed made managers at Region Skåne both more satisfied and efficient. The educational set-up had a big impact as the importance of implementing new behaviors and ways of working in an early phase was crucial for the coming success.

“The managers are very happy with the outcome and how they can spend less time on their reports. They find it easier to understand and work with their data, which is more accessible and reliable. The systems and reports also follow our graphical guidelines. We can now not only trust the information in the reports, but also gain value from having our data presented easier, smarter and more helpful. “ says Pia Edmund, CIO at Habilitation at Region Skåne.
