"Robots will take around 20 million jobs over the next decade", reported Yle in the summer of 2019. At Crasman, we do everything manually, not just for the sake of preserving jobs. Or actually, precisely because of that.

A quality end result is achieved together, handcrafted, with heart and without compromise. The work of Crasman's designers and developers is guided by the same core values that underpin everything we do.

This blog series explains how our values are reflected in our daily routines and customer work.

Handcrafted

"Handicraft is a process directed by thought that includes an idea of the outcome and knowledge of its implementation", says Wikipedia.    

Our clients' user-friendly, functional, and productive online services are handcrafted. Robust knowledge, comprehensive experience, bold experimentation, learning from mistakes, and applying what is learned ensure the quality of each customised solution.

Digitalisation and automation certainly take jobs. But there is another way to look at it. They create new roles and opportunities that benefit experts, clients, and clients' clients.

That's the perspective we choose at Crasman.

The Future of Technical Craftsmanship

Technological advancement ensures that new era craftsmen always have fresh resources to work with. It also ensures continued demand for technical craftsmen.

Experts understand that they must continuously keep up with global trends and update their skills. Employers must remember to do the same.

As a company, we must have the ability to respond to changes in work and the world, as well as the evolving needs and wishes of clients and experts.

As an HR person, my task is to stay informed about those wishes: navigating between business, technology, and soft values. To ensure that the best creative nerds in the field want to be part of our everyday life now and in the future.

We intend to continue designing Finland's best digital business solutions – out of love for the craft, code, and our clients. Handcrafted.

Together, handcrafted, with heart and without compromise are Crasman's four core values. In the next part of the blog series that deals with these values, I will discuss how the word "with heart" guides our work.
