Finland: Working Together to Sustain Success
Finland’s traditional Nordic model is under pressure: A rapidly ageing society, the
global economic crisis and growing societal disillusionment require the public administration
to be strategically agile in order to maintain fiscal sustainability and to respond
to a complex and rapidly changing environment.
The government’s capacity to act in these difficult times will depend on the public
administration’s ability to work together – across all of the public administration
at the state and local level, and with society as a whole – in order to sustain success
and maintain its global position in the future.
This report is the second in a series of OECD country reviews that look at governance
and public management issues from a comprehensive perspective. These reviews help
countries to identify how reforms can better reinforce each other in support of overall
government objectives. They also examine reform strategies that have worked in other
countries and provide advice as to which reforms can be appropriately adapted to a
given country.
