Takeoff Partners supports Inclus' international expansion
Inclus is a Finnish cloud-based risk management software company that specializes in collaborative, AI-powered risk management software and services. Since 2023, Takeoff Partners have worked together with Inclus in various capacities: Sales and marketing leadership, internationalisation efforts especially in North America, and also strategic planning and management system development.
Strong business drivers for risk management globally
The landscape of enterprise risk management continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, driven by technological disruption, geopolitical tensions, and increasingly complex global interconnections.
Indeed macro-level changes have cascading effects on supply chains, market access, regulatory compliance, and competitive positioning.
Organizations need to build resilience in an era of radical uncertainty, and while there a lots of threats involved, smart companies may also spot unprecedented opportunities.
Background in peace mediation interests audiences
Inclus' core approach is to foster digital collaboration: Risk assessments are best done together, involving stakeholders not only from within the own organization but also from the supply chain and other critical stakeholders.
Inclus was established in 2012. Founders Mikaeli Langinvainio and Juha Törmänen leveraged their experiences at CMI, Nobel Peace Laureate Martti Ahtisaari’s Peace Foundation, to develop a digital tool to harness diverse stakeholder insights in peace mediation processes.
Since its founding, Inclus has evolved to serving complex stakeholder-driven processes in corporate risk management, sustainability, and strategic planning.
Takeoff Partners’ Jouko Virtanen has served as Inclus' Head of Commercial since 2023, and Irmeli Hirvensalo joined the team as Head of Marketing in late 2024.
"It has been quite a ride, and still continues", they admit. "Risk management right at this point of time provokes tremendous interest among our audiences, and for reason. It is really meaningful to work to advance business that genuinely promotes collaboration and shared understanding between stakeholders on topics that matter."
Despite risk management as a business even benefiting from the growing global uncertainty, we certainly hope for slightly more predictable and less dramatic turns of events as we launch into 2026!
