By education, he holds master's degrees in Industrial Engineering and Management, Theology, Political Science and Music.
At the moment, Mäki works as Strategy Consultant at the Helsinki Parish Union, which consists of 19 Evangelical-Lutheran parishes in Helsinki and their shared services. He is responsible for planning and coordinating activites related to the strategy work conducted within the parish union.
Mäki's doctoral dissertation is related to the perceived significance of strategy work in spiritual organisations. The article dissertation under preparation addresses the perceived relevance of strategy work through three perspectives: (1) the openness of strategy work, which explores experiences of the inclusiveness and transparency of the strategy process; (2) strategic management, which examines experiences of the capabilities required to lead church strategy work; and (3) strategic networks, which focus on experiences of strategy multilevelness and the role of partners as part of strategy.
The study provides new information on the perceived relevance of strategy work from the perspective of key decision-makers in the strategy. The research results can be applied to strategy research in different disciplines, including strategy formulation, leadership capabilities and networks.
