<p><strong>Once upon a time...</strong><br />KA Group in Macedonia was established in 2006 as limited liability company (or ltd, GMbH), working in the area of Public Relations and Event Management.</p>
<p>The first two years of existence KA Group Consulting worked as Strategic Partner and National coordinator for Republic of Macedonia of one of the best European Festivals - EXIT festival. Company activities included directing national campaigns and sales, public relations, event management, BTL activities and similar promotional activities.</p>
<p>In April 2010, after two years being in "sleep mode", KA Group Consulting has "reinvented" its mission and work area, becoming professional service company in the area of management consulting.</p>
<p>KA Group Consulting is currently operating from its office in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, managed by the founder and owner - Mr. Vasko Karangeleski.</p>
<p><hr /><strong>Where does "KA" come from?</strong></p>
<p>KA are the first two letters from the surname of the founder, however KA also has other meanings connected to its name. <br />First meaning - as verb in the proverb "Ka me, ka thee", meaning To serve.</p>
<p>Ancient Egyptian-sources related meanings of KA are the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Ka was the Egyptian concept of spiritual essence, that which distinguishes the difference between a living and a dead person, with death occurring when the ka left the body.</li>
<li>The "ka" is a very complex part of the symbolism in ancient Egyptian mythology and represents several things:
<ul>
<li>the ka is a symbol of the reception of the life powers from each man from the gods,</li>
<li>it is the source of these powers,</li>
<li>and it is the spiritual double that resides with every man.</li>
<li>It is almost impossible to translate the concept into our words, but try to think of it as the 'creative power in any being, wether human or divine'.</li>
<li>a spiritual part of the soul in Egyptian mythology, which survived after death;</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><hr />KA meaning in ancient Egyptian is related to our beliefs that through our management consulting service we can help enhance and develop the creative and spiritual powers in organizations, usually shown through the specific organizational leadership and competencies structures.</p>
<p><em>Group</em> in "KA Group" represents the specific form of organization of KA Group, following our belief in communities of practice as basis for provision of excellence services, which the founder and partners are establishing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Not really related meaning to chosing KA in the name of the company, but an interesting association is KA in Steven King's book Dark Tower: "Ka... signifies life-force, consciousness, duty and destiny. In the vulgate, or low speech, it also means a place to which an individual must go. The closest terms in our language are probably fate and destiny."</p>
