The world is in a fragile, volatile state. Donations to London Business School through the Forever Forward campaign enable us to respond to some of the greatest challenges we face today – by shaping the best and brightest, fostering diversity through scholarships and fueling and amplifying faculty research into sustainability, development and inclusion. 

At the heart of all this are our students – the business leaders of today and tomorrow. We asked them to share their thoughts on the role of business schools like LBS in solving the world’s biggest challenges. Find out what our students had to say in this short video.
