Arbetsförmedlingen is a social actor with a major impact on sustainable labour market development. The overall strategic direction of the agency states that sustainability is a guiding principle in the business, but many employees at the same time find it difficult to act with a sustainability focus in their everyday work. An important explanation is about the difficulty of understanding the many causal and operational relationships and interdependencies that exist within and between different issues that the authority handles. Since most of the assignments that Arbetsförmedlingen works with are complex, with many dependencies and relationships that are difficult to control, they become difficult to manage in a sustainable way without a holistic perspective. One way to work holistically with complex assignments is to apply a system approach to the business to be conducted. System Vision is a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to dealing with complex societal problems. It is a way of seeing and understanding activities where the focus is on how the parts of a question interact and affect the whole that they operate within. System Vision is described as a way to complement regular operational management in order to work more efficiently and achieve long-term sustainable results in complex issues, but despite this, knowledge about the practical application of system vision in public operations is still limited. With this preliminary study, we want to contribute to developing the practical knowledge of how systems thinking can help us to plan and implement more sustainable efforts to achieve the desired effects, i.e. to integrate sustainability into complex assignments. The preliminary study will be based on the work carried out within the framework of the ESF project Innovative skills provision in the north (including any implementation projects carried out with the support of ESF funds and addressing the transition in northern Sweden). This is because the issue of geographical mobility is a complex and pressing societal issue that requires parallel coordinated efforts from both the Public Employment Service and partners in municipalities, industry and the idea-based sector. Overall, the pre-study's focus, objectives and expected results mean that new practical skills are developed in an area that is recognized as an important prerequisite for working in a coordinated manner with complex issues, but where the answers to how we do in practice are too few today. The results therefore have potential for systemic and structural impact both at the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) and at collaborative partners participating in the projects where systemic working methods and methods are tested.
