  7. The new project proposal… A first sketch… “Scenarios of strategies of social partners’ cooperation in the hairdressing sector to improve the quality of work and employment” working title

  8. Project proposal – Eurofound’s stakeholder enquiry service • EU Social partners joint request to Eurofound in 2012 • First proposal EF: Q4 2013 • Second proposal now so as to avoid overlaps with the COM’s project

  9. Research question and objectives • How can social partners cooperate to improve the quality of work and employment in the hairdressing sector? • To create 4 scenarios about the • strategies for social partner cooperation to improve the quality of work and employment in the sector Scope: can be limited further as well.. Guiding question… to be agreed upon or possible be reformulate in the course of the project

  10. Why a scenario analysis? “To deal with the future we have to deal with possibilities. Analysis will only tell us ‘What is’.” Edward de Bono, Parallel Thinking “Thinking through [scenario] stories, and talking in depth about their implications, brings each person’s unspoken assumptions about the future to the surface. Scenarios are thus the most powerful vehicles I know for challenging our ‘mental models’ about the world and lifting the ‘blinders’ that limit our creativity and resourcefulness.” Peter Schwartz, The Art of the Long View: Planning for the Future in an Uncertain World From: Foresight Horizon Scanning Centre, Government Office for Science, UK. Scenario planning. Guidance notice

  11. What is a scenario (analysis)? • Scenarios are mental models of “possible futures” • Qualitative methodology which • explicitly takes uncertainty into account, • provides space for the involvement of stakeholders, • And it can ultimately lead to guidance for action. It is not: • an attempt to say, which future is more likely • or a forecast of “hard” data …

  12. How will this be achieved? • Map and describe the current and future challenges in relation to the quality of work (contractor) • Map and describe social partner’s capacities and initiatives • Desk research, existing material: EWCS, • REP study, mapping of social partner initiatives at national level; data from the COMs study (country profiles) Limited to 8 countries for new input • 1-2 expert workshops, including social partner representatives from 8 countries • To identify challenges and drivers related to quality of work and employment in hairdressing and interlinkages • Moderated by an external contractor • Contractor will draw up 4 different scenarios Desk research Interactive To be reflected upon again by experts

  13. Next steps • EF to discuss with EU level social partners the proposal • EF will launch the tender (April/May?) • Contract likely to be in place by summer • …start of the desk research in Summer • … 1st expert meeting already around the October SSD meeting? • ….
