How to ensure that expertise does not lag behind development, but grows together with change. Our answer is the HeKa (Mental Growth) expertise network, which supports the growth and development of our experts and the company at the pace of change.

A granite worker grows as an expert

The field of project management is alive and changing. New tools, technologies, methods and practices are constantly emerging that help us to make our work even more efficient. To keep up with change, it requires active adaptation and learning new things. At Graniiti, we believe that strong expertise is created by learning together. Not only from our own experience, but from what we can learn from each other. That is why we have created HeKa (Spiritual Growth) competence network, where we share our expertise, experiences and best practices with each other.

The core idea of the HeKa network is that every Graniitti employee can grow and develop as an expert together with others, learning from each other. At the same time, we develop the Graniitti spirit, strengthen our culture and Graniitti as a work community.

For us, learning is valuable in itself, but it is also a promise to our clients. A promise that the client will always receive a knowledgeable, up-to-date and continuously developing expert who brings added value to every stage of the project.

What does Graniti's 2025 HeKa calendar look like?

We meet regularly to discuss current industry themes, trends, project management best practices, and the latest tools.

Earlier this year, we were able to delve deeper into the world of responsible IT and learn how sustainable development and regulatory requirements affect our work. Understanding these regulations will become part of our experts' work on customer projects.

This year, spring at Graniit has been dedicated to the communication skills of our experts. When you think of project work, many people think of task lists, schedules and work packages. But in reality, most of a project manager's work is about communication, listening to people, sparring, and making sure that everyone understands where they are going. That's why we invest in developing communication. It's not just a soft skill, it's the very core of project work.

As summer approaches, we will be able to workshop GS spirit vol. 2.0 and return to our core values. In the workshop, we will dive into Graniitti's culture and reflect on how we meet each other and our customers, and what we want to see Graniitti of the future.

Last year's final HeKa focused on the concrete use of artificial intelligence in the work of project specialists. The artificial intelligence theme continues strongly this year as well.

In the future, the list will include many different topical topics that affect us in our work, but also in terms of our own coping and well-being. In the fall, we will delve deeper into an important theme, namely cybersecurity. More on this later!
