At Hanken & SSE Executive Education, we believe leadership is not just about reacting to change — it’s about driving it. The future belongs to those who lead with clarity, courage, and purpose.
The spark behind everything we do
We exist to ignite renewal in individuals and organisations — turning knowledge into insight, action and measurable impact. Our work equips leaders with the mindset, insight and courage to embrace uncertainty and shape what comes next.
Across two decades of partnering with leaders from diverse backgrounds, we’ve learned that great leadership is more than vision — it’s a spark: a moment of clarity, the bravery to act and a commitment to keep learning. Our purpose at Hanken & SSE Executive Education is to ignite that spark in individuals and organisations around the world.
Renewal in action
In today’s fast-changing world, organisations and individuals face the challenge of staying ahead. Renewal isn’t just a strategy — it’s a necessity that comes in different packages. At Hanken & SSE Executive Education, we help leaders and companies embrace change with clarity and confidence.
Establishing a shared vision
One example is the programme tailored for Telia, where we helped leaders collaborate better, share a mutual understanding of challenges, and start thinking from the overall business point of view instead of individual units. “They have the CEO hat on,” reflects Niina Korpi‑Halkola, Learning and Development Partner at Telia Finland, as she sums up the programme’s impact.
Leading with empathy in change
Sometimes, renewal means guiding organisations through challenging times. “Kind and empathic leadership is about taking care of both parties — the company and the individual,” says Anu Waaralinna, Attorney, Partner at Roschier. She describes Hanken & SSE as “a partner you can trust, who delivers quality and expertise. We have the same energy levels, and with that, you can make miracles.”
Personal growth that transforms leadership
For Maadh Al‑Sammarraie, Business Development, Software at Kempower, our EMBA programme was a turning point: “It taught me that every opinion matters. I now take more time to listen and to find collaborative solutions." Maadh also summarises that: "The experience helped me become calmer, listen more, and be intentional in the way I lead.”
