News of the business school

The MIM Business School hosted an open workshop titled “Crisis-Proof Hiring 2026: How to Fill Vacancies in a Tight Labor Market,” led by Tetiana Dotsia, a graduate of the SE MBA program and founder <a href="https://www.svidomi.com.ua/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">of the management consulting agency “SVIDOMI.”</a>
The session focused on the topic of finding and attracting specialists amid today’s challenging conditions - war, labor migration, and staffing crisis. Tetyana shared practical tools that help companies build a systematic hiring process even when it seems there are simply no candidates available.
During the workshop, participants explored how to create an effective job posting, where to publish job openings, how to promote the company to candidates, and how to identify “red flags” during interviews. The speaker devoted special attention to topics such as mental health support, working with veterans, and developing emotional intelligence in leaders. She also explained how to spot a “professional scammer” early on, whether it’s worth “poaching” employees and what risks or benefits this entails, and how artificial intelligence is already helping recruiters in their work.
Top 5 Tips from Tetiana Dotsia:
·         Prioritize mental health and teach employees emotional hygiene.
·         Sell the job not just on salary, but on the opportunities, it offers the candidate. It’s not enough to simply “find” someone - you need to “win them over.”
·         Don’t forget about security - it’s important to screen candidates to protect your team and business.
·         Remember: onboarding is the key to employee retention. Training, support, feedback, and mentoring work wonders.
·         Don’t be afraid to hire veterans: give a veteran a helping hand - and they’ll become your support.
And most importantly: people come to people - and leave because of people.
MIM Business School would like to thank Tetiana Dotsia and the “SVIDOMI” agency for an informative, candid, and highly relevant meeting.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration and hosting new events!

MIM is a partner of the “SPRAVZHNI” event: a gathering of HR and business leaders

pre-MBA

Vynogradov

This time, 110 students joined the program at the MIM Business School, representing nearly every sector of the economy - from IT and agriculture to the service industry.
The program was opened by Iryna Tykhomyrova, President of the MIM Business School, who welcomed the participants to this new stage in their professional development:
<blockquote>
“Welcome to the MIM Business School! Today we are launching our new pre-MBA program, and I am proud to say: you are studying at the first business school in independent Ukraine. We have been around for 36 years, and all these years we have been working with business, for business, and alongside business. Without state funding, but with a strong desire to create, support, and develop Ukrainian entrepreneurship.
We have always thought big. At the same time, we are an international school, as we operate according to global standards and hold international accreditations and partnerships that allow us to see the bigger picture. Because Ukrainian business strives for scale. None of us would say, “I don’t want to go beyond Ukraine’s borders.” We all aspire to grow and develop our companies - both in Europe and around the world.
Our program takes all these aspirations and nuances into account. It’s a unique puzzle of various disciplines, activities, and experiences that come together to form a complete picture: how to enter the business world, grow your business, and go global.
And one more thing. You come here as strangers, but you leave as part of the family. I hope you find friends, partners, and like-minded people here - people you can trust and move forward with.
We’ve already had groups of unbreakable individuals - those who studied in 2022. And I really want to be able to say, when you finish your studies: this is a group of winners. And not just because you’ll receive diplomas, but because the world around us will have changed by then. Ukraine will become peaceful, strong, prosperous - and a winner.”
</blockquote>
 
Here are the expectations of students in the pre-MBA program at the MIM Business School:
Tetyana Dolynska, founder of a group of companies and student in the pre-MBA “Finance” program:
“I graduated from MIM in 2015 with an MBA, and by 2016 I was enrolled in the Doctor of Business Administration program, although I never actually wrote or defended my dissertation back then. Now I’m back at MIM - because I have a project that’s the reason I returned to my studies. And I really hope that right after the “Finance” program, I’ll launch this major project and then write my dissertation.”
Olga Sichkar, student in the pre-MBA “Business” program:
“I represent the “EOS” charitable foundation. Our foundation was established in response to the challenges of our time. I have a background in law and have been involved in volunteering for a long time, but I’ve never worked in management or finance. Now we have a large team that needs to be developed - we need to plan expenses and ensure sustainability. That’s exactly why I came to MIM - to gain systematic knowledge and learn how to manage effectively.”
MIM Business School wishes all pre-MBA program participants inspiration and new professional discoveries! May this academic year be a year of personal growth, important ideas, and great endeavors that will eventually become success stories - yours and those of Ukrainian business.

The pre-MBA program kicked off at the MIM Business School

SE MBA

Iryna Papusha’s corporate governance course for SE MBA students got off to an unusual start: with a panel discussion right in the classroom.
Here’s what Iryna had to say about the idea behind this format:
<blockquote>
“I always strive to broaden the scope of the program, so I’m constantly looking for new ways to effectively convey information. In this course, in addition to theory, practical exercises, business cases, and examples, I created a broader format by bringing in leading experts in corporate governance. And all of this took place right in the classroom, during my group’s session.” 
</blockquote>
This approach allows attendees to gain a focused and dynamic experience directly from the professional leaders who are shaping modern corporate governance standards in Ukraine.
The panel discussion featured:
·         Yuriy Sorochynskyi, CEO and board member of Nemiroff;
·         Kateryna Rozhkova, former First Deputy Governor of the NBU, the primary regulator of the financial sector;
·         Natalia Morozova, Managing Partner of Havas Village Ukraine, board member in the business and public sectors;
·         Andriy Haidutskyi, member of supervisory boards in the public and municipal sectors.
 
MIM Business School thanks our faculty for their inspiring approach, willingness to experiment with teaching formats, and for sharing the most relevant practices of modern business.

A panel discussion for students in the SE MBA program was held at MIM

Today, the MIM Business School, our students, alumni, and partners congratulate the 411th “Yastruby” Unmanned Systems Regiment on its third anniversary!

We are grateful to you for every day of our peace, for your hard work, professionalism, and sacrifice.
We wish you clear skies, reliable communications, and may there always be enough “birds” and everything that helps them fly!
<blockquote>

Congratulations to the 411th “Hawks” Regiment on its third anniversary!

Alumni

The guest on the SE MBA program was Mykola Skavronskyi, Deputy CEO of the medical laboratory “Sinevo Ukraine” and an MBA graduate of the MIM Business School.
Over the course of more than 20 years, he has taken the company from a startup to a leading national company with a billion-dollar turnover - all without formal medical education.
Today, Sinevo holds about 25% of the private market for laboratory testing and is the only medical company in Ukraine to have gone through an IPO.
<blockquote>
“Not the first lab on the market, but the one that created the market” - that’s how Mykola Skavronsky positions his company. 
</blockquote>
It all began, as is often the case, with a personal experience. After a botched blood draw, he decided, “This isn’t how it should be. This market has potential and opportunities” - and set out to change the approach to this market.
At first, “Sinevo” operated as a “lab-less lab” - just collection sites and partnerships with contractors. Later, a foreign investor came on board, a rebranding took place, the company expanded, and a philosophy was born: the patient is the customer.
Mykola Skavronsky openly shared stories of success and “failures,” explaining how the team tackled key challenges systematically and step by step:
   
·      Speed of service. We took cues from McDonald’s - we even invited people from there to join us.
·      Clarity. For the first time in our communications, we started using the simple and familiar word “tests.”
·      Openness. Trust instead of fear: we held tours, educational events, and created our own space in career fairs.
·      Accessibility. We invested in the network even when it seemed risky.
 
Mykola also shared a few tips from his own experience:
·       If the word “quality” appears in an ad, it means the marketers know nothing about their product.
·       Learn from the best - not just in your own industry.
·       Be clear, not arrogant: the customer should immediately understand what you do.
·       Be accommodating: reduce service time, value people’s time.
The meeting was candid, lively, and full of insights.
Thank you to Mykola Skavronskyi for the inspiring conversation - and we look forward to seeing you again at MIM!

Post-shooting

On October 16, the MIM Business School was transformed into a genuine jazz club for one evening - complete with music, uniquely atmospheric lighting, genuine emotion, and an atmosphere of creative freedom.
The event was prepared for the community with great care and inspiration, as the goal was to give the audience not just a concert, but a vivid sense of the unity of melody, energy, and inspiration. The musical magic of the evening was provided by the vibrant quartet of young musicians, the Sunnyside Quintet, who treated guests to a true delight of jazz improvisations. The concert was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy quality music on a cool autumn evening, recharge with energy, and feel the strength of support from the MIM community and friends.
Guests were welcomed by Iryna Tykhomyrova, President of the MIM Business School:
<blockquote>
“We live in uncertain times, when it is crucial to keep up the pace and, above all, to trust one another and find harmony even in the midst of chaos. It is precisely now, under these conditions, that a new culture of Ukrainian management is emerging - one that is vibrant, flexible, bold, and inspired. That is why, in our opinion, the melody of the new Ukrainian management is definitely not a march or a symphony. It is jazz, where there is a leader, freedom, structure, and life between the notes. And today we invite you to feel this rhythm, be inspired by it, and perhaps find your own melody. And one more important note about this evening: all proceeds from the event will go toward supporting the Ukrainian military. Our jazz today is not just about inspiration, but about strength, solidarity, and gratitude to those who make it possible for us to sound free.” 
</blockquote>
During the evening, guests enjoyed not only brilliant performances but also the stories behind each piece. The musicians talked about how the compositions came to be, showing how people’s lives intertwine and how music serves as inspiration for companies, teams, and brands. The audience gave a particularly warm reception to the Ukrainian jazz motifs, and the finale, “Hutsulka Ksenia,” was performed as an encore - to thunderous applause and even dancing.
Vadym Savelyev, the event’s conceptual organizer and a lecturer at the MIM Business School, said:
<blockquote>
“We decided to organize this event, which is unusual for a business school, because we believe that jazz and business share common traits. The art of improvisation, team harmony, and a sense of the moment are important for both jazz musicians and entrepreneurs. Plus, jazz is a burst of positive energy, which we all need so much right now.” 
</blockquote>
The “MIM. Jazz. Inspiration” evening was not only a celebration of music but also a reminder that the MIM business community is a force of unity, inspired not only by business but also by cultural events, mutual support, and shared values.
MIM Business School thanks everyone who joined us for this evening and invites you to future events where music, education, and leadership will resonate in unison—the rhythm of success and victory.
