About the study
This is the final report of a literature review on innovation in social services in Europe both on innovation in the field of health, education and welfare and across the boundaries of these
sectors (‘blurring boundaries’) within the InnoServ - Innovative Social Services platform Project under contract to the 7th Framework Programme for Research, Funding scheme ‘Coordination
and support action’ (EU).
What does innovation in social services in Europe mean?
Trying to answer this research question constitutes the main aim in view of which the literature review has been
undertaken. Based upon empirical evidence and theoretical information available - the status quo of research and the input from practitioners - the literature review is aimed at detecting current trends and directions. The information has these objectives to identify:
1. concepts and definition (dimension and sub-dimension) of innovation and innovative approaches in the field of social services on one hand, and on the other hand research fields
and themes to investigate innovation for social services provision. The distinction between product, process and content innovation was one of the analytical instruments for searching
and retrieving the appropriate literature, analysing and synthesizing the findings;
2. factors driving innovation, types of innovation prevalent in each sector, new forms of social services, innovative practices and fields, new targets, demands and social needs as
determined by the current demographic, economic and political situation in Europe;
3. practical cooperation and networking of actors across different service fields and governance level but also the role of competition in the social services sector; the emergence
of hybrid organizations which combine features of NPOs/NGOs, profit-organizations, and volunteer associations; the role and collaboration of different actors (users and
beneficiaries, volunteers, paid staff and professionals, policy shapers and managers, social and organizational representatives controlling social services organizations, financiers and
directors investing in and controlling commercial enterprises);
4. key issues and challenges in researching and analysing innovation in social services considering a methodological level (i.e. indicators to evaluate innovation)
Within the project, Multi servis d.o.o. is researcher for ENIL – European Newtork for Independent Living. The research conducted encompassed academic, professional and “grey” literature in 13 languages.

The term "result" is the modern day magic word. Although the term itself is getting more and more attention in all three sectors, training and monitored application opportunities in this area are still scarce in Serbia. In a functional system, all elements relate to results. In a useful system, elements and results are tailored to your specific needs in a given, rather than an abstract setting.
Multi servis d.o.o. offers a broad range of training, coaching and consulting services in areas of strategic planning, policy development, performance monitoring and evaluation. Together with our client, we define the specific process and sequencing that most effectively guide us towards the set goals for best results and through a combination of techniques and services.
Some of the standard elements that we use include |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our primary focus |
We consult on issues of growth
and development. We focus our research on the social,
economic and political trends which determine it.
We analyze these forces in the context of communities
affected. We create studies, recommendations, and
analytical models that are readily understood and
accepted throughout the region.
For the public sector, our efforts are in the realm of good governance, cross-sectoral
partnerships, training of public administration officials, monitoring and evaluation
and support to EU integration efforts.
For the private sector our efforts are often defined
as development strategy, executive coaching, customized
training, monitoring and evaluation. |
What
makes us unique? |
We are pragmatic and hands on. We feel strongly that plans and projects must be based on economic reality and focus on the real needs of the ultimate user. We have background in both government and private sector activity and understand how they can and need to work together. Our experience allows us to combine sophisticated methods with a straightforward approach that our clients understand and appreciate.
Our projects are mostly in Serbia, but we routinely travel to other countries to meet client needs and for consulting assignments. We work either on a consulting or study basis. |
Our
primary clients |
Our public sector clients include
ministries, municipalities, agencies and public enterprises
that need realistic and implementable plans. We most
often provide the strategic, organizational change
management, leadership and staff development element
of larger planning and reform efforts.
Our private sector clients tend to be businesses
and NGOs of all sizes that have a visionary leadership
and can understand the role of external facilitators
of key processes that are still often believed to
belong to the realm of a company’s internal and intimate
data. |

With New Economic Foundation's permission we have translated nef briefing Ten Reasons to Care About Economic Inequality to Serbian. According to nef "we often hear politicians talk about ‘tackling poverty’ and the need to improve ‘social mobility’ but economic inequality lies at the heart of both these phenomena". See nef briefing for arguments in favor of a decreased social inequality. |
