What’s new at KOKAI?
From record‑breaking growth and an expanding cross‑border team to game‑changing product roll‑outs and thought‑leadership, KOKAI has packed Spring and Summer 2025 with momentum. This article gathers the highlights, celebrates our people, and offers a glimpse of what’s just around the corner for the KOKAI family.
Spring momentum
From Q1 breakthroughs to fresh talent, spring set the tone for the rest of the year.
Record‑breaking Q1: 45 % organic growth and an 18 % profit margin after tax, powered by our customer‑first mindset and a wave of new Microsoft certifications.
LinkedIn community milestone: Grew from 662 to 795 followers so far this year (+20 %)
Fresh faces, stronger family: Jonas Häggström – 18 years of BI & dev expertise, now super‑charging the Gothenburg crew. Ronny Fly – FP&A specialist bringing 15 years of multi‑industry insight to our Stockholm hub.
And the family keeps growing—more new faces are joining shortly. Stay tuned to get to know them!
Thought leadership & learning
We doubled down on sharing ideas and learning with the wider community.
Dropped the article “Reclaiming FP&A: Fabric, Power BI & Aimplan”— our blueprint for the modern finance tech stack.
Kicked off a “Getting Started with Microsoft Fabric” webinar series—Part 1 aired 11 June with live demos from Hanna Trulsson.
Customer impact
Our solutions translated into tangible wins for our clients.
LINK Medical (Nordic CRO, 150 + employees) went live with Aimplan in Power BI — unlocking single‑source pipeline, backlog and utilisation insight. Read it here: https://kokaiconsulting.com/case-studies/link-medical
Culture first: #BeOneTeam
A strong culture keeps our five offices — and countless Slack channels — moving as one.
Put our values into words with May’s piece “#BeOneTeam – The Heart of KOKAI,” sharing how one mindset unites five cities and countless Slack channels.
Daily cross‑border knowledge swaps (yes, emojis count 🙌) kept the learning curve steep— even from lakes, cabins and balconies.
What’s next
Here’s what the coming months have in store.
End of August: The entire KOKAI family heads to Split, Croatia for strategy deep‑dives, inspiration boosts and real‑life bonding.
September: Our own Espen Kringstad will guest a new Stockholm‑based podcast, unpacking the thrills (and logistics) of running a high‑impact firm spread across 1 600 km of coastline.
September: Part 2 of our “Getting Started with Microsoft Fabric” webinar with Fabric expert Hanna Trulsson, plus a product‑focused Power BI + Aimplan session hosted by Ola Ruud Elvestad.
Expect more customer stories, Fabric deep‑dives, behind‑the‑scenes Croatian sunsets—and even more new faces joining the team this autumn.
Summer might slow others down — at KOKAI we’re just warming up.
