Simplifying fishing tool

I do agree with Olivier and asturian partners: it is not mandatory to use the fishing tool and it  should be nice if we could make evolve the fishing tool, especially if it is too complex to use with some SMEs.
Olivier and I tested the tool and we know that it is not so easy to use it for people not being trained on it !

I have heard that David Bobval will translate it in hungaruian => we will see if he meets success when using it with hungarian SMEs.

Hi everybody;
First, about the white book I've planned to fix an end date at the end of May and i will post today this information on the weblog.
Second, about the fishing tool:

As I explained  during the last meeting, this tool is just a tool to help BSO to introduce themselves with the SMEs. If you don't like it and if you manage to do a network of companies interested by the subject, that is ok. All your ideas are interesting. It could be very interesting to have informations from these organizations. But don't forget  that at the end we have to do a "sort of network "with food companies interested by food for elderly.

To conclude, I agree with your proposals, but I repeat that we have to get some results with food companies.
We have to find some companies which are interested by the subject either because we have met them thanks to the fishing tool or with another way.

I hope I 'm clear and I give you all the answers you need.

Thank you very much for your ideas and your involvement in the project.

Best regards

Hi Olivier.

 Roberto and us had a meeting yesterday, in order to decide future actions regarding BIO LIFE. We have decided to take two different actions, and we want to share them with you, in order to know if you agree with them:

 1)    Regarding the fishing tool. As I commented on the past workshop, I think that the fishing tool could be a good thing to apply if we were talking about innovation management, but as it´s a very long questionnaire and it only has one question regarding the elderly subject, we have doubts that we can use it (in its actual state, and in our case) as a fishing tool for the project. 

What we thought yesterday is this: as you know, we have made a LinkedIn group regarding BIO LIFE, which now has nearly 50 members. We think that we can simplify the fishing tool and give it a strongest orientation to the elderly subject. Then, we would do a new version of the questionnaire, and then use our LinkedIn group to do a "State of the food sector regarding innovation and elderly subject" survey, with a focus on the elderly subject. This will help us to boost the interest in the subject, and will help us to prepare people for a regional event regarding the project.

 2)    Regarding direct contact with organizations. We have decided to search for specific organizations that can be interested on food regarding elderly, so we plan to do direct contacts with them. We want to visit them and obtain from them:

-       Good practices/projects that they have developed regarding elderly subject.

-       Future plans for new ideas/developments.

-       Possible needs regarding this future developments.

 

If this organizations have "something" that could be shared/disseminated/etc. We would try to use this experiences in the regional event that we are planning to do.

 We are not planning to use with them the fishing tool, as we consider that we are not going to need it to approach them.

What do you think, do you agree with these actions, is there something more that we would have to take in consideration? Every comment from you is well received.

Thank you very much Olivier.

 PD: regarding the white book, maybe it would be a good idea to open a "last call for modifications/recommendations/changes/new contents" with a fixed end date.  With my experience, it´s the best way that we and the rest of the partners force ourselves to do a review in depth and make good suggestions

Profile of the survey respondants in Asturias (and principal differences)

Hi everyone.

We are going to post some info about our the survey ressults in Asturias:

Characteristics of this group of people:

- Respondents have been mostly own family, predominantly parents.

- The predominant age range of respondents is between 55 and 65 years (55%).

- Most of the people surveyed live in one of the 3 major cities of Asturias: Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés, which alone bring together approximately 50% of the population of Asturias.

- As far as income is concerned, it is important to note that in the predominant age range, there are a good percentage of people still in the workforce. There is also a general perception of having an income level within the average; taking into account that Asturias has traditionally been an industrial region, the incomes of a pensioner in Asturias can be reasonably high compared to regions that have traditionally relied on industries such as agriculture, which often receive lower pensions at the end of working life.

- The percentage of people living alone is small. We must take into consideration that the average age of the sample is low, so that the probability of widowhood is less; on the other hand, late youth emancipation and the traditional orientation of the Asturian society to care for the elderly at home contribute to this result.

Main differences of the values ​​obtained from the values ​​of other countries:

- Question 2 "How often do you cook meals?" The most common response was "Preparing meals with family members". The reasons for the differences with countries like Poland, France and Hungary may be a low average age of the respondent, which usually coexist with one child still, and for older people, the tendency of relatives to take care of elderly in their own homes.

- In question 3 "Different kinds of Frequency regarding meals". There is a trend that marks a clear preference for fresh products compared to those already preprocessed. Much of the surveyed population is native to the rural environment, in stages prior to industrial growth in the region. In this environment the use of fresh food and feed themselves dominates the use of the preprocessed ones.

- In Question 9 "What is your attitude to food" there is an important difference in the response "I do not care what I eat" due to a translation error. It was translated as “I eat any kind of food." Even with this failure, the answer is very significant because it indicates that most people do not feel animosity toward specific types of food.

- On the sub-question b of the question 9,  "I eat what my nutritionist recommended", most people answered "Definitely not" as a result of that in Asturias the nutritionist is not very common figure.

- In the question 9 g "I eat what is cheap" there is few people responding in the affirmative, due largely to the purchasing power of staff surveyed.

- In question 16 "What is your approach to new products?", the responses show that people is quite reluctant to new products, it is not easy to establish a possible cause for this, although the predominantly rural origin of the population in Asturias in those age ranges can be the reason of these people giving a high value to fresh and “self made” product, making difficult a good perception of new products that are not known.

- Question 18 "What is the preferred taste of the dishes you most?”. There was a translation error, since "sabory" was translated as bitter.

It´s all for the moment. If you have questions, don´t hesitate to ask.

Best regards.
