We’re in it for the long haul

Sisu [ˈsɪsuː – ancient Finnish] means courage, perseverance and resilience. To have Sisu is to aim for the horizon by connecting the dots and focusing on the long term.

When confronted with change, organisations are required to adapt and radically rethink their strategy. In the face of uncertainty, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the multitude of choices. To operate boldly in the face of the unknown, that’s Sisu.

Sisu is the mindset that allows you to embrace disruption and create new opportunities.

Our story

The seed for Sisu was planted in 2009 when CEO Stephane Collignon and his partners founded Strand Associates Consulting, an expert recruitment and consultancy partner. Quickly realising that not tools but expertly talented people are a company’s true capital, Sisu’s vision took root. More than a decade later, five strong communities of industry experts make a difference for companies and their workforce at Sisu.

Sisu chooses sustainable growth. Strong roots that support flourishing communities of experts. Together, who’s to say how high we will reach?

Three reasons to match with Sisu.

We are…
(1) resilient in the face of change
(2) human-first investors
(3) bold challengers in the field

Sisu is our ecosystem in which we share resources and knowledge and train our experts to be agile Sisu-oriented intrapreneurs.
