In the absence of a shared understanding, problems of cooperation may manifest themselves as “bad chemistry” and “awkward partner”. In this speech, I will look at one possible way to identify where (network) community communication problems actually lie by presenting a four-step model for analyzing community communication.

Communications Director Anna-Kaisa Säkkinen , University of Jyväskylä
The core of the strategy published by the University of Jyväskylä in 2019 is a competent and well-being person. The mission of the university is to be an impressive university of education, and the university strives to foster interaction in its activities. From the perspectives of influence, interaction and strategy implementation, communication plays a key role in these. In her speech, Anna-Kaisa Säkkinen discusses the key task of communication, ie how communication supports the organization in implementing the strategy. The goals of communication go hand in hand with the goals of strategy: when there is a well-off and competent person at the heart of the university’s strategy, this is also at the heart of making communication. In his speech, Säkkinen discusses the elements of strategy communication, the role of communication in supporting implementation and how, for example, a strategy narrative can be built.
