Vision no 3 2019. Jonas Froberg is a playwright, who this autumn will stage his play: \u201cThe Swedish coup d\u2019\u00e9tat\u201d (Den Osynliga Statskuppen) about the management of Gothenburg City. Here is a link to a new interview in Vision<\/a>, a Swedish union magazine for midlevel public management.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vision:<\/strong> Is the play based on reality?
\nJonas:<\/strong> In 2008 I was asked by the Mayor of Gothenburg to mirror how the City lives up to its own mission statements. What I discovered, is the foundation of the play. So yes, the play is based on reality.<\/p>\n

Vision:<\/strong> What did you discover?
\nJonas:<\/strong> Mid level management knows how to run, but does not really understand the consequences of NPM, New Public Management \u2013 a system of control that governs all cities in Sweden. It leads to bureaucratisation, de-professionalisation and a cleaning out of all other values than the strictly economical.<\/p>\n

Vision:<\/strong> Why a play?
\nJonas:<\/strong> We want to tell what we have experienced. For us, it is a labour of mourning.<\/p>\n

Vision:<\/strong> Who do you want to come?
\nJonas:<\/strong> Midlevel city officials, to help them deal with NPM, to reflect upon the system and take back the initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
