We are building a global movement to change how business is done and how success is measured.  Do you know a business leader passionate about social change and innovation?   Let us know!  Nominations close on February 15th.  

Last week, President Obama gave his last State of the Union address, where he made note of the country's progress and shortcomings, as well as a prescription for a better future. In this blog post, Aspen Institute program directors react to Obama's speech and outline what it means for business and the American workforce.

The Foundation for Enterprise Development, in collaboration with AOM, is  seeking emerging scholars with promising research to apply for its annual award. This year's theme is based around employee ownership models that advance financial inclusiveness and participation in the digital-based "gig" economy. Follow the link above for more information. 
This collection features a dozen popular cases, syllabi and books for faculty use on a wide variety of business and social impact topics -- such as inequality, diversity, leadership and ethical behavior. Plus award winning materials from our Aspen Faculty Pioneers, including a teaching module from HBS Professor Shawn Cole (pictured right).
