DATE: 23 September 2026 at 3:00 PM CET
FORMAT: Online, Zoom

When Technical Decisions Meet Business Perspective

An engineering career often develops far beyond purely technical responsibilities. Decisions increasingly involve people, budgets, customers, investments, new business development, priorities, and long-term strategy.

This is not about leaving your technical expertise behind. Quite the opposite. It is about complementing it with a broader understanding of business so that you can apply your professional experience to more complex business decisions.

At the LJUBLJANA MBA Open Day, you will have the opportunity to explore whether this kind of development could be the right next step for you.

During the event, we will address questions such as:

What does an MBA offer someone with an engineering or technical background?
How does the program connect strategy, finance, marketing, and leadership?
How can you balance MBA studies with a demanding career?
Who are the LJUBLJANA MBA participants, and what can you learn from one another?
How do alumni apply what they learned in their professional roles?
How do the application and admissions processes work?

A Firsthand Perspective

As engineers progress in their careers, their responsibilities often expand far beyond technical expertise. They begin to work with budgets, business cases, clients, recruitment, team leadership, and strategic decisions, areas that traditional engineering education does not always cover.

This is also reflected in the story of Bernhard Lamprecht, Senior Embedded Software Engineer at Magna Auteca GmbH, who joined the LJUBLJANA MBA after recognising that strong technical knowledge was no longer enough for the next stage of his career.

At the Open Day, you will meet Andrej Ledinek, Project Engineer at Ledinek Engineering and LJUBLJANA MBA alumni, who will share his own firsthand perspective on a question that is especially relevant for technical professionals:

What does an MBA add when you already have strong technical expertise?

Andrej will talk about his career journey, his decision to pursue an MBA, and the concrete ways in which the LJUBLJANA MBA experience has influenced how he thinks, makes decisions, and approaches leadership.

Is the LJUBLJANA MBA Open Day for Engineers Right for You?

The event is especially relevant for:

engineers and other technical professionals,
heads of R&D, production, projects, and technical teams,
professionals who are already taking on broader business responsibilities,
individuals who want to better understand the business context behind the decisions they make,
professionals considering the next stage of their careers.

It does not matter whether you already lead a team or a business area. The Open Day is also designed for experienced leaders who want to connect their technical expertise with a broader strategic and business perspective.
