The Master Class CEE and its predecessor Meisterklasse Osteuropa can look back on a nearly 30-year history with more than 600 alumni. During this time, the students and alumni have experienced booms and busts, more or less marked changes and crises in our economies and societies. The COVID-19 crisis was specific. It started as an unprecedented pandemic in modern days. The economies were hard hit but able to recover. Immediate surges in demand, supply chain bottlenecks and labor shortages further challenged management. With the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022 security and political aspects came to the fore. An accelerated digitalization and rise of AI, demands for more sustainability and inclusion, high inflation, and changed attitudes towards work have complicated the situation for management. On the other hand, crises create opportunities and room for new ventures. We would like to discuss how businesses cope with these challenges and how they can become more resilient. We invited alumni of the Master Class CEE to share their thoughts and experiences with us:
