CAF Practitioners Network Meeting

In the upcoming meeting on 31st of March 2025, 2-3:30 p.m. (CET) the change journey of the Ministry of Culture of Estonia will be presented.

The Ministry of Culture of Estonia uses the CAF model since 2022. The implementation of the CAF effectively supported the innovation approach and delivered visible results and changes for the whole organization and its culture. As the main result of the implementation of CAF the first organizational strategy for the ministry was created and the vision of the ministry stated via large-scale involvement of the ministry’s people.

Reelika Väljaru, Head of Department of Strategic Planning and Innovation and Karin Närep, Development Adviser, the project managers of conducting CAF and creating the organizational strategy, will share their experiences on how they launched necessary changes in the organisation.

Gain practical, hands-on insights into the following topics:

  • How to design the most suitable CAF project plan that would help to enhance the involvement of the employees of the organization, including top management in the self-assessment process?
  • How to use the results of CAF self-assessment for the creation of CAF-action plan and organizational strategy?
  • How the CAF self-assessment process helps to create openness and innovative thinking in the organization?
  • How to keep the sustainability of organizational changes made?
