How does AI change my career prospects? 💡🤖
That was the question behind yesterday’s panel at HHL: “Future Skills and Career Prospects in the Age of AI: The Role of Business Schools” with Jun.-Prof. Dr. Maximilian Schreiter, Prof. Dr. Florian Ellsaesser, and career coach @david.doebele, co-founder of @pumpkincareers.
The starting point: AI is already taking over or speeding up tasks that used to shape the first years of a graduate’s career, from research and analysis to slide creation and data work.
So what still makes young professionals valuable?
The clear answer: AI and data skills are becoming the baseline. What makes the difference are human skills: asking the right questions, making decisions when the data is messy, and leading people through change.
At HHL, this is already part of how we teach. Our school-wide AI strategy is visible in the classroom, for example through:
🟡 "Mind Meets Machine,” taught by Dr. Alexander Nossmann, Managing Director and Partner at BCG, with real client project insights
🟡 new faculty expertise with Prof. Dr. Florian Ellsaesser and stronger links between research and practice
🟡 our official partnership with Google, making HHL the first and only German Business School to offer Google Gemini to all students and staff
This also comes together in our new Master in Management | Strategy and Business Consulting, with a focus on Analytical Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence, and AI Literacy.
Because for us, business education means putting strong ideas to work on real problems: through live consulting projects, industry cases, and people who bring practice into the classroom.
Big thanks to our speakers and everyone who joined the discussion.
