Kodan Työmaa, fondly known within Kodan Oy as KTM, is a weekly event that has become one of the cornerstones of our internal culture. Originally designed to review what consultants and teams were doing in their client projects and other work, KTM has organically transformed into a platform for individual presentations on topics that intrigue our employees or guest speakers. These topics always relate to expertise, technology, and business within the context of software development consulting.

The engine of collaboration and knowledge sharing

KTM is one of the primary ways Kodan enhances collaboration among its employees. It provides a space for our experts to share knowledge and discuss collective directions on various themes and technologies. This not only deepens individual expertise but also creates collective intelligence that benefits the entire company and its clients. Ultimately, KTM serves as a platform to offer expertise from expert to expert.

One of the unique aspects of KTM is the regular special sessions by groups such as the KFC (Kodan Frontend Community), focusing on design and frontend development, and KAIC (Kodan AI Community), concentrating on AI, data, and analytics. During these sessions, we dive deep into specific topics, sharing up-to-date information and practical tips.

Some of the most engaging KTM sessions have covered a variety of topics that resonate with both our technical and business goals. For instance, we've explored the latest advancements in React for 2024, discussed how AI can beat chess grandmasters, and demonstrated some RAG solutions. These sessions not only showcase current technology but also provide practical insights that can be directly applied to our projects.

The impact and outcomes

Thanks to KTM, Kodan’s experts stay on the cutting edge of developments in their field. Ideas and solutions presented during KTM have often led to problem-solving strategies for clients and even entirely new services. For example, a client received a proposal for an AI-based tool they hadn’t even thought to ask for, which was quickly implemented and brought significant value.

Furthermore, KTM helps our employees discover new areas of interest and sources of knowledge, fostering continuous professional development. This ensures that every consultant brings not only their own expertise but the full breadth of Kodan's collective knowledge and resources to every client engagement.

In addition to presentations, KTM includes facilitated workshops such as Lean Coffee and Topaasia sessions, where we work collaboratively on current topics and directions, always concluding with actionable points.

Whether you are a prospective employee or a client, the innovative and collaborative environment fostered by KTM ensures that Kodan is always at the forefront of technological and business advancements, ready to deliver practical and well-founded solutions.
