How GBS Students Want to Improve Student Performance
As artificial intelligence (AI) gets better and better, people are wondering how humans will fit into the workplace. It’s more important than ever to think about how we help people do their best at work and school. That’s why, during Geneva Business School’s (GBS) October Creativity and Innovation Week, students were asked to come up with ideas to boost student performance.
More than 150 Bachelor’s and Master’s students joined in. The week ended with groups presenting their projects focused on helping students balance life and study. On Friday, October 17, 2025, eight different groups pitched their ideas.
Looking at all the projects together helps us see what students care about most in 2025—and how they think these problems should be solved.
Time: The Biggest Concern
Five out of eight projects focused on time management. Students say it’s hard to juggle studies, free time, and everything else. Some worry about procrastination, others about how time pressure affects their well-being. But all agree: getting organized is the key.
Most groups suggest using digital tools, including AI, to help students stay on track. They believe schools should connect students’ schedules and deadlines with their personal habits. This way, students could get better support and improve their performance.
We’ll have to wait and see if schools or private companies will meet this need. But, with so much energy and creativity, GBS students might even start some businesses to solve these problems!
Well-being: A Key to Success
All projects highlighted how important well-being is for academic success. Students say having a friendly school atmosphere, easy access to sports, mental health support, and ways to make friends are all important.
Groups suggested many ways to make school better: putting games in common areas, asking students what career workshops they want, and even bigger ideas like a four-day school week or a one-stop wellness platform for tips, clubs, and making friends.
What’s Next at GBS?
The special week also included the election of the new member of the Student Committee in Geneva. The committee members joined some GBS professors in the panel assessing the projects and can now help turn the best ideas into reality, with support from the Student Experience department. Since the Student Experience teams at the Barcelona, Madrid, and Geneva campuses work together, some of these ideas might spread to other locations, too. Stay tuned—life at GBS could get even better!
When Special Week first started, many of us, both bachelor’s and master’s students, weren’t sure what to expect. We were divided into large groups of around twenty people, mixing different programs and backgrounds, and honestly, most of us wondered how well we could actually work together. Some worried that such a big group would make collaboration difficult, or that there would be a gap between the master’s and bachelor’s students. but as the week went on, those doubts started to fade. We began to connect, share ideas, and find our rhythm as a team. Everyone brought something unique to the table, and by the end of the week, we were proud of what we had accomplished together. Beyond the projects themselves, the experience taught us a valuable lesson about teamwork, that in both, university and professional life, we often have to collaborate with people we don’t know, and success comes from finding balance, communication and mutual respect. What started as uncertainty ended up being one of the most enjoyable and insightful weeks we’ve had.
