I would hope at least that I’d be more insightful and embracing the change as a leader after I have completed my studies with EMBA.

“We particularly appreciated that the overall approach was both challenging and highly practical. Academic insight and research-based thinking were combined with strong practical expertise: Hanken & SSE challenged us to pause and reflect, while also providing concrete tools to support everyday execution.”

Frequently asked questions

A good starting point is to ask what kind of change you're looking for. 

If you're an individual leader looking to develop yourself, whether through a programme, Hanken Executive MBA (EMBA), or executive coaching, our programmes page is likely the best place to start. 

If you represent an organisation and are looking to develop your people, build leadership capability, or address a specific strategic challenge, our customised solutions are designed for that. 

And if your organisation is going through change negotiations or restructuring, we offer dedicated outplacement and transition support for both management and affected employees.

If you're still unsure, the easiest next step is to talk to us. We'll help you find the right fit based on where you are and what you're trying to achieve.

SSE Executive Education, who co-owns Hanken & SSE Executive Education, is ranked #1 in the Nordics and #15 globally by the Financial Times. The Hanken Executive MBA holds a triple-crown accreditation — AMBA, AACSB, and EQUIS — placing it among less than 1% of providers worldwide to hold all three. But the ranking is only part of the answer.

What sets us apart in practice is how we work. Our programmes are built on active research, and we co-create solutions with organisations rather than delivering off-the-shelf training. We take a Nordic approach to leadership, collaborative, evidence-based, and focused on real-world impact rather than theory alone. And because we work across open programmes, customised solutions, and career transitions, we can support individuals and organisations across the full arc of professional development.

Our solutions are designed for experienced professionals and the organisations they work in. On the individual side, that means leaders and managers who want to develop themselves, through open programmes across leadership, strategy, and finance, or through the Hanken EMBA. On the organisational side, we work with HR and L&D teams, management, and boards who want to build leadership capability, drive strategic renewal, or develop their people in a structured, long-term way.

We also work with organisations going through change negotiations and restructuring, providing outplacement support and career coaching for the employees involved.

In short: if you lead people, develop people, or are responsible for the strategic direction of an organisation, our programmes are built with you in mind.

Whether you are developing yourself, your team, or navigating organisational change, we will help you find the right solution.
