To induce productivity growth, also in Finland was, of course, the precondition of a welfare state. Productivity growth depends heavily on innovations as well. However, as the heart of the Finnish approach says, innovation-driven productivity growth is not in itself an optimal adaptation mechanism in a new situation; instead, the innovation-driven productivity growth should be sustainable in the sense that it provides simultaneous support for the other key factor in economic growth – workforce numbers – by encouraging people to stay on at work for longer. This balanced development is called by the Finnish decision makers a sustainable productivity growth and TYKES programme was supposed to stir such kind of development. The results of the TYKES programme have been investigated in several in-depth studies and the major finding is that TYKES proved to be an important element of the Finnish success story. Lahti University of Applied Sciences (LUAS) transformed the outcomes of these studies into trainings to be used for decision makers as well as company directors. Workplace development culture is rather rudimentary in the target countries; a series of studies pointed it out (see: D.3.1). The proposed Leonardo da Vinci Innovation Transfer project is expected to analyse the adaptability of the Finnish model in the target countries, the necessity to re-design content, methods and trainings included. On the basis of these investigations the project will develop the adapted versions of a defined number of the long term as well as of the short term trainings of the Finnish practice. Special emphasize will be put on the extremely rich cluster of pedagogical methods used by the innovation deliverer. In a pilot exercise both beneficiaries will elaborate and propose adapted content and methods for 10 companies each.
