Building a Better World

The world needs better leaders. Climate change, inequality, and sustainability are challenging all sectors: business schools play a crucial role in helping to solve global problems.

Gain tools to magnify your school’s impact, establish partnerships with peers and businesses, and leverage resources on next steps for your school in societal impact initiatives.

Be inspired by initiatives that are creating measurable impact, from every sector and from around the world. Leverage resources and tools to bring back to your institution. Connect with societal impact leaders to establish relationships with others with similar goals and challenges.

Universities and businesses like yours are driving change. Take part by participating in sessions on these critical topics:

  • Beyond boundaries: incorporate the planetary boundaries framework into your curriculum
  • Climate change: advance climate action with new resources and tools
  • Societal impact and AACSB Accreditation: engage with peers on current actions and measures of success
  • Building better leaders: define the competencies needed for today’s leaders to tackle the world’s challenges
  • Transforming business models: learn how companies have shifted, and what that means for the skills needed from graduating students.

Continue the conversation on these and other topics in a more intimate, discussion-oriented session at the Societal Impact Workshop. Facilitators will engage participants in a discussion of the Societal Impact Conference sessions and how those topics affect AACSB’s Business Accreditation Standards. Seating is limited.

AACSB's Societal Impact Conference was a provocative, informative, challenging, and inspiring experience. The guest speakers were top-notch, and the topics—especially the imperative to collaborate across sectors—were extremely timely and relevant to the work we need to do to change our curricula and our programming.
