Learning and development as a Strategic Choice — Not Just a Side Project

In the latest issue of Tietoviikko magazine, Siili’s Marko Jaanu and Timo Miiluniemi shared how learning and AI are reshaping software development and consulting — and why Siili treats learning as a core business driver rather than an HR initiative.

“Is learning in your company a truly strategic choice – or just a side project for HR?” – Marko Jaanu

At Siili, building expertise and continuous learning are not isolated from daily work. They are deeply tied to business goals and measurable outcomes. Learning happens through real projects, where applying new knowledge creates direct client value.

Timo Miiluniemi emphasizes that professional growth accelerates when training and real-world application go hand in hand. “The best results come when coaching, experimentation, and knowledge-sharing happen together — across roles and projects.”

The article also highlights the broader ecosystem of learning, and how organizational culture plays an important role in enabling the most value-adding learning experience. At Siili, we are constantly strengthening our learning-enabling culture, ensuring that all Siilis have a personal development plan and career path.

“Building competence is the key factor in consulting. It’s what makes our business thrive.” – Timo Miiluniemi

At Siili, learning is measured, coached, and continuously developed with the same seriousness as any other strategic investment. When learning becomes part of the company’s operating system, it drives innovation, quality, and long-term success.
