🤖 "AI is not about technology. It is about people. It’s about mindset."

That was the argument made on Monday evening at our LBS panel discussion, and it is one worth sitting with.

We had two practitioners in the room: Dr. Balázs Lóránd from Aumovio (autonomous driving, AI strategy) and Prof. Donald Baillie from Accenture Vienna (risk consulting, AI ethics). An hour of unfiltered conversation on what AI actually means for careers, companies, and Europe.

🎯 The takeaway that landed hardest: the professionals who will create value are not the ones who know the most tools. They are the ones who combine deep domain expertise with genuine AI literacy and who keep learning when the tools change again next year.

✔️Domain knowledge.
✔️Soft skills.
✔️A portfolio of real projects.
✔️Get certified to get past the filter. Then show what you can actually build. 💪

⚡ One thing became obvious throughout the discussion: AI will continue evolving rapidly, but the ability to think critically, adapt quickly, and lead through uncertainty will remain the real competitive advantage.

From LBS to the frontlines of U.S. antitrust law. 🎓⚖️

Ilia Kapelevich (Class of 2018) went from studying International Business Administration at LBS to a PhD in Economics at the University of Florida. Today he shapes the economic arguments behind major competition cases at Coherent Economics in Chicago.

It all started in a diverse classroom in Vienna.

“LBS’s international environment helped me discover my passion for economics and build the analytical, communication, and teamwork skills I use every day. What truly stood out were the people, the diverse community and dedicated professors who shaped my path.”

Ilia, this is what impact looks like. 👏

🎓 LBS students just delivered, big time.

Our IML Master's students completed a consultancy project with Speech Processing Solutions, developing a global marketing campaign to position dictation technology for the next generation of healthcare professionals.

They dug deep: analyzing market trends, clinical workflows, and tech adoption across regions, then presented their findings directly to the CEO, CTO, and Marketing, Product and Sales team. The response? "Next year, very gladly again." 🙌

This is what hands-on learning looks like at LBS.

👏 Congratulations to our students, and thank you to Speech Processing Solutions for the outstanding partnership!

When ESG meets the A-Team. 💼🌱

Our MBA class of Prof. Josef Baumüller in ESG Reporting & Sustainable Finance doesn’t just discuss sustainability - we brought the experts to the table. And what a table it was.

We had the pleasure (and let’s be honest, the fan moment) of welcoming:

🟢 Katharina Aspalter: Senior Function Lead Sustainability, STRABAG
🟢 Barbara Fuchs: Corporate Sustainability, Windkraft Simonsfeld AG
🟢 Christine Würfel: Head of Group ESG & Sustainability Management, Raiffeisen Bank International AG
🟢 Monika Brom: Deputy Head of Unit Sustainable Development, EFRAG
🟢 Alfred Ripka: Partner, Deloitte Österreich -Sustainability Reporting & Assurance

From construction to wind energy, from banking to European reporting standards and yes, even the people who check if you really meant your ESG metrics - our students got the full 360° view.

Sharp insights. Honest discussions. Real-world challenges.
And possibly the only classroom where CSRD caused this much excitement.

Thank you for inspiring the next generation of responsible leaders. The future of sustainable finance is in good hands- and clearly, in very good company. 🌍✨
