The three layers of a Management System

Three layers cont.
“In the development of activity, the relationships of
dependence and impact between levels have not
received the attention they deserve. The use of process
descriptions can turn information systems and IT tools
into a great source for increasing productivity.
Often the impact of people’s own interests is forgotten. It
is assumed that people can be forced into moulds and
pigeonholes. If people’s needs are ignored, plans and
projects will fail or their implementation will meet with
considerable difficulties.”

Strategy of lifelong learning
• Approved 30.1.2007
• Principal policy 1:
– TKK will direct its activities so that it will also be forerunner and recognized
developer of lifelong learning and as part of this, continuing education.
• Principal policy 2:
– TKK’s aim is to align all institutional policies and activities in a logical
continuum supporting the education of engineers in such a way that attracts
best students, ensures them as a result of diligent studying a high
motivation and readiness for LLL supporting their sustained professional
development and high employability throughout their career.

Strategy of lifelong learning
• TKK will concentrate on preserving and strengthening its success
factors in the strategy implementation. The aims are defined by the
following strategy permeating main themes: 1. Internationalisation, 2.
Quality and renewability, 3. Social interaction, 4. Digitalisation. These
themes are also distinctive in actions relating to lifelong learning strategy
and implementation.
•
Principal policy 3:
– With all of these 4 main themes, TKK will take, as an important point of
action, to recognize working life development needs and selected actions
deriving from these. With these actions further education that develops
working life will lean on TKK’s teaching and research and will support those,
strengthening TKK’s position in the forefront of lifelong learning actors.

Elements of LLL-strategy
1. TKK will increase the readiness and motivation of degree students
for lifelong learning.
2. TKK will introduce an adult education model and develop its further
education so that most of it will fit into the credit system and that
the supply will be accordant with the afore-mentioned model.
3. TKK will develop its further education so that it will be,
distinctively, producer of professional development services
demanded by the graduate engineers and their organisations.
4. The role of further education as cooperation platform between
working life, TKK activities and international science world
(opening up through TKK) will be concretized.

Strategic elements cont.
5.
6.
TKK will strengthen its role in international R&D activities of lifelong
learning and, with this, increase the volume of further education, at the
same time improving its quality.
TKK will develop an anticipation system for working life development
covering the whole University. With this, we gain a comprehensive view of
possibilities brought by technological development, and can better direct
the training programmes to the needs of working life.
