organisation. Currently KESSU has about 70 members, who
are interested in management, leadership and organizational
development issues. Most of the members (80 %) are engineers

channel to interesting subjects, companies and other
organizations, events and above all KESSU makes it easy to
network with interesting people. The association arranges
about six events a year. Each event includes training, a
workshop or other activities that make people think, learn
and network. The topical teams and practical ways of
conducting the event and even the reasons behind the event
have varied a lot. The main purpose is to challenge the
current thinking models of the participants and to create
new, innovative ideas to be used in practical work.
