What separates companies that shape the future from those who fall behind?

Digital innovation, AI, and sustainability are rewriting the rules of competition and the leaders who understand how to turn these forces into real business value are the ones pulling ahead.

In this compact and practical 60-minute masterclass, Prof. Dr. Armin Heinzl takes you behind the scenes of global success stories and shows the transformation playbooks that actually work.

Using examples from Siemens, JPMorgan Chase, and Spotify, he shows how companies approach transformation in very different settings: scaling digital across a global industrial group, competing with Big Tech in banking, and personalizing services with AI.

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management MBA program for their Global Immersion in Germany 2026 program!

The week started off with interactive academic sessions on the current German economic and political situation, German-Chinese economic relations, German financial behavior and the German Mittelstand all led by Alexander Pfisterer and featuring a guest speaker session with Tobias Mörk (Reer GmbH). On Wednesday, the group visited BASF in Ludwigshafen for a tour followed by a presentation on AI and automation by Dr. Hisham Mubarak. To celebrate the middle point of the program, the afternoon was spent exploring the beautiful cobble stone alleys of old-town Heidelberg.

On Thursday morning, the group returned to the classroom, where Fabian Hänle introduced them to some motives, strategies and success factors for the internationalization of Chinese SMEs, before heading off to another company visit at FUCHS Group in the afternoon. Finally, on Friday, the group delved into current topics and trends of impact investing with Jiri Tresl before delivering their final presentations, which highlighted their learnings obtained throughout the week.

We sincerely thank our guests from China for choosing Mannheim once again and hope that the memories and insights gained from the program will further enrich your educational and professional journey!

They have made it! Months of rigorous work culminated in yesterday and today's final presentations: Congratulations to the Mannheim Executive MBA Class of 2026, who presented their Strategic Projects, reaching the final academic milestone of their EMBA journey.

Serving as the program's master's thesis, these team projects tackle genuine business challenges and blueprint the creation of new ventures. The topics and challenges chosen show the remarkable range and ambition of this cohort.

The ventures span technology solutions that make everyday life easier – a tool supporting groups in planning activities, an AI-enabled learning app for children, and a platform connecting car owners and drivers after a night out – as well as plans for specialist consulting firms in Private Equity and Pharma, and a new hub for the startup industry that uses AI to connect early-stage founders with experienced professionals. Entrepreneurs in the cohort also explored an expert-based certificate for luxury items.
Well done to every single team!

Special thanks to Prof. Dr. Karlo Fresl, the academic lead of the Strategic Project, Prof. Dr. Matthias Brauer, the program's academic director, Prof. Dr. Monika Schuhmacher, Tim Engmann, and our Mannheim Executive MBA alumni Jana Richter and Felix Becker for taking the time to be part of the jury.

Are you inspired by our cohort's ventures? The part-time Mannheim Executive MBA might be your chance to put your ideas into practice. Save the date for our Open Day on November 7!

The group then visited SAP SE for insights into the company's Artificial Intelligence strategy, as well as Heidelberg Materials to learn about their efforts to decarbonize cement and concrete production through innovative technologies and sustainable practices.
