TRACK:
DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
Tuesday, November 8
When you say communication, many still think of a somewhat soft skill set. In reality, modern communication is the need of conveying the organizations message to different stakeholders in an effective way across a myriad of channels . This not only requires that we constantly adopt new digital tools and implement automated processes in our execution. It also requires us to implement these into our basic strategic thinking.
This conference track focuses on making our soft - yet powerful - communication skill set work in unison with automation and new ways of collecting and using data.

The communication dilemma you don’t learn in school
In theory, it may be easy to decide that the users’ need go before organisational goals. Or that all brands are supported with the same amount of resources. Or that we all follow the same brand guidelines. But in reality, working with communication in a large organisation with a wide offering – in this case of higher education programmes – presents several dilemmas on a daily basis.
In this session, you are introduced to how VIA University College works with marketing, communication and branding of no less than 42 study programmes, and invited to join the discussion of a number of dilemmas that most communication professionals in large organisations might recognize and benefit from others’ experiences on.

Communications needs to be bold and courageous
Communications needs to be authentic
Communications needs to remain planned and strategic, proactive
