Responsible Digital Transformation of Social Welfare Organizations

Abstract

Digitalization will extensively change what kind of social services social welfare states will provide in the future and how these services are delivered. In addition, organization and financing will alter fundamentally. In Germany, a greater part of social services is organized by social welfare organizations. Digitalization will not only change social services, but also social welfare organizations. Until now, systematic concepts about responsible digital transformation for social welfare organizations are missing and there are no models for social welfare organizations to initiate, design and implement social innovation processes. This chapter gives an overview about organizational development and innovation in the context of social services. Further, ideas for a responsible digital transformation of social welfare organizations are provided and illustrated by an example of the social welfare organization: Workers’ Samaritan Federation North Rhine-Westphalia registered association (ASB NRW e.V.).

Enhancing the Performance of Healthcare Organizations: An Applied Analysis of Digital Technologies and Sustainability

“…The definition of the Deal for Digital Health is part of a context of the necessary reorganization of the healthcare network to reconcile the growing demand for health with the budget constraints placed on healthcare organizations. In this situation, digital innovation appears to be an enabling and, in some cases, the decisive factor for creating welfare and organizational models that meet new needs (Schiffhauer & Seelmeyer, 2021;OECD, 2016).…”

Zum Digitalisierungsdiskurs in der Sozialen Arbeit: Befunde – Fragen – Perspektiven

“…Diskurse der Medienpädagogik und Sozialinformatik über eine erziehungswissenschaftliche und sozialwirtschaftliche Ausrichtung jeweils einen engen disziplinären Bezug zur Sozialen Arbeit aufweisen, spielen für den Diskurs zu Digitalisierung in der Sozialen Arbeit zunehmend auch theoretische Konzepte und Modelle aus anderen sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen eine Rolle. Anknüpfungspunkte bestehen hier mit Blick auf die interaktions-und organisationsbezogene Ebene der Digitalisierung zu Arbeitswissenschaft und Arbeitspsychologie wie auch zu Ökonomie und Betriebswirtschaft, welche insbesondere Fragen der Innovation in der Verbindung von Technik-und Organisationsentwicklung diskutieren(Schiffhauer & Seelmeyer 2021). Techniksoziologische Arbeiten etwa von Rammert oder Schulz-Schaeffer hingegen verbinden in ihrer Analyse vielfach Mikroanalysen zur Rolle von Technik in soziotechnischen Konstellationen mit Gesellschaftsanalysen zum Wechselverhältnis von Technik-und Gesellschaftsentwicklung(Rammert 2007).…”
