The way we work

Courage
Courage, that special skill of calculated risk-taking helps bring out innovation and new thinking. We believe in courage as a skill to move mountains and it all starts from ourselves.
Insight
We believe that insight is the journey to actions that create impact. Insights add value and therefore we collaborate with the intent to offer insight and gain new insights every step of the way. Gaining new insight challenges us to always be one step ahead.
Heart
Organisations don’t create renewal or change, people do. Therefore, everything we do puts us, the human, right at the core. Our human touch creates life-changing moments of insight that inspires renewal and can sustain the test of time.
Bubbly
We have a bubbly spirit and doing business with us is seriously fun. We are flexible and will find a solution to any challenge.

Sustainability Corner

Hanken & SSE Executive Education is committed to social, environmental, and financial sustainability at all levels. We value and take care of social (people), environment (planet), and financial (profit) sustainability in all our actions.
