Paljon onnea erinomaisesta väitöksestä ja väitöstyön päätökseen saattamisesta! Aivan mahtava meininki! Jos annat illalla puheenvuoron niin aion sanoa, mitä todellakin ajattelen - sinusta tulee jonakin päivänä AIS:n presidentti ja voit sitten sanoa katin kirjoittaneen tämän ennusteen blogiin 2025;) <3

/Today is once again a day of academic celebration! My colleague and friend Jenny Elo is defending her doctoral dissertation, “Toward Continuous Digital Service Innovation,” today in the University of Jyväskylä’s old festival hall!
The custos is our professor Tuure Tuunanen, and the opponent is Brian Fitzgerald from the University of Limerick, Ireland.
It has been a joy to follow Jenny’s journey toward this day. She is one of those people who never makes a fuss about herself, yet works incredibly hard behind the scenes — not only on her own research but also for the people around her, her communities, and society at large.
When Jenny walked in, her curls flowing, the whole audience relaxed. It is a genuine pleasure to listen to a dissertation defense where the doctoral candidate is truly eager to discuss and challenge her own work. If she was nervous or uncertain at any point, it certainly did not show!
Jenny’s performance is convincing and natural, because she truly knows what she is talking about. She has read and written about this topic for years, and it shows very strongly throughout the defense.
Some people blossom in their defense, and today that is exactly how it feels with you!
Congratulations on an excellent defense and on bringing your dissertation project to completion! Absolutely wonderful energy! And if you give me the floor this evening, I intend to say what I really think — one day you will be the president of AIS, and you can then say that Kati predicted this in her blog in 2025 ;) <3
