18 months ago, 30 senior executives took a leap of faith. They chose to juggle demanding careers, family responsibilities, and personal commitments — and for some, even the challenge of long-distance travel — all while investing in themselves through the World’s No. 1 EMBA.

They started as the Class of 2026 (KH28) at the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA Program. Today, they walk the stage as proud graduates, carrying not just diplomas but stories of sacrifice, resilience, and joy. Those late-night study marathons, fiery debates, and moments of doubt turned into breakthroughs that led to this proud moment.

KH28, congratulations on this remarkable milestone — you have truly earned it! Thank you for being the ‘high-impact, low-ego’ leaders you are and for showing us how lifelong learning can inspire those around you. It has been an absolute privilege to walk alongside you on this journey.💜

AI is changing the way we work, and workers are responding by doubling down on what machines can’t replicate: creativity.

Research by Kellogg Professor Adam Waytz, who taught our Kellogg HKUST EMBA students “Leadership in Organizations”, reveal that résumés, training choices, and career paths increasingly highlight imaginative skills when AI looms as competition. Creativity is now being reframed as the ultimate human advantage.

The full article explores how this instinct persists even with generative AI tools in play, and what it means for educators and employers. Continue reading to learn how you can future proof your skills and your organization’s culture.

The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA alumni recently had a thought-provoking session at the brand-new HKUST Business School Central in Admiralty. Centered on the theme “Invest in Yourself – AI and the Future of Work”, the event asked the questions many leaders grapple with today: how to navigate careers amid disruption, and how to pivot mindsets with proactive, future-embracing strategies.

We were honored to welcome Prof. Frederik Anseel, Dean of HKUST Business School, as keynote speaker. As a leading expert on productivity and employability in the age of AI, Dean Anseel offered a compelling perspective on how artificial intelligence is reshaping the labor market.

The keynote was followed by an all-alumni panel discussion, moderated by Ms. Amy Ho (KH01), an educator and school advisor. The panel brought together voices from across industries:

· Michael Chan (KH14), General Manager – Corporate Strategy, MTR Corporation Limited
· Freda Ng (KH14), Managing Director, ParknSHOP Hong Kong
· Chao He (KH22), Founder & CEO of AIVI Technologies, and Adjunct Associate Professor at HKUST Business School

The panellists offered candid, practical insights on AI transformation for growth, strategic adoption of AI, and deep tech innovation. The conversation was rich, forward-looking, and exactly the kind of dialogue that sparks new ideas and inspires action.

It is sessions like these remind us of the true strength of the Kellogg-HKUST alumni network — a community built not only on shared success, but on the collective drive to embrace the future with confidence and vision.

If you are wondering how to shift from productivity wins to real strategic value using AI, this episode is worth your time.

What does a business card mean to you?

The Business Card Series at Kellogg-HKUST EMBA redefines a business card as more than just a name, title, or company, it becomes a gateway to storytelling.

Over lunch on module weekends, a student takes the stage to share openly and candidly, the industry know‑how, unknown hard‑won lessons, and even setbacks, which often remain hidden in traditional classroom settings.

This initiates rich exchanges among students, turning what starts as a simple presentation into deeper discussions and questions that connect experiences in unexpected ways.

Our current cohort, KH29, has already hosted several of these sessions, each one opening new door of understanding. You never quite know what’s coming; it can be a quirky industry story or a bold lesson learned. After all, every business card carries a story worth telling.
