The Opportunity Cost of Not Doing an MBA in the Age of AI
What our research with companies reveals about the leaders AI transformation needs, and how the IESE MBA prepares you to become one.

AI is transforming how organizations operate, compete, and create value. Yet there is a paradox: as technology becomes more powerful and accessible, the need for leadership is not diminishing. It is increasing.

Companies are discovering that the greatest challenge is not the technology itself, but how to turn it into value. This requires leaders with an entrepreneurial mindset, capable of rethinking business models, redesigning organizations, exercising sound judgment, and bringing people together to drive transformation.

Drawing on our systematic research and conversations with leading companies and executives, this session will explore the capabilities that will distinguish the next generation of leaders, and why the current transformation may represent a once-in-a-generation career opportunity for those who are prepared.

We will also discuss how the IESE MBA prepares students to seize this opportunity, combining rigorous general management education, leadership development, hands-on experimentation with AI, and an international community that opens new career possibilities and continues to create value throughout their lives.

We would be delighted to have you join this discussion featuring:

• Evgeny Kaganer, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Innovation and Professor in the Operations, Information and Technology Department at IESE Business School.
  
  
• Marc Badia (MBA-02), Deputy Dean and Professor in the Accounting and Control Department at IESE Business School.
  
  
  

If you're considering an MBA and wondering about its relevance and value in today's changing business environment, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
