BAWB AND THE ASPEN INSTITUTE TEACHING INNOVATION PROJECT
 Over the years, the Center for BAWB has been actively engaged in the Aspen Institute's Teaching Innovation Project (TIP). Part of the Business and Society Program at the Aspen Institute, TIP is a two-year, action-learning project and collaboration with eleven leading graduate schools of business and a small number of corporations. TIP strives to create a "tipping point" in business education to further the teaching of corporate citizenship and values-based leadership. Participating schools from the U.S., Canada, Spain, Mexico, India, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, include Ashridge Business School, EGADE ITESM in Mexico, University of Navarra, Cornell University, Northwestern University, McGill University, University of Toronto, S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research, University of Michigan, University of Stellenbosch, and our Weatherhead School.
Each school has implemented a pilot program on its campus aimed at addressing the challenges and opportunities in the areas of corporate citizenship, social impact management, corporate social responsibility and values-based leadership. The BAWB Summit - Weatherhead's TIP project - was a school-wide Appreciative Inquiry (AI) Summit on integrating sustainability and social impact leadership into the school's entire curriculum. The AI Summit is a method for accelerating change by involving a broad range of internal and external stakeholders in the change process. We believe our BAWB Summit represents the first time that AI Summit methodology will be used to accelerate innovation in a management school by working to institute sustainability and social impact leadership into the fabric of a graduate school's culture, substance and curriculum.
