AIM2Flourish - Preparing Global Goals-ready LeadersThis month our speaker is AIM2Flourish.com’s director Claire Sommer. Claire leads the world’s first higher-education, experiential curriculum for the UN Global Goals and business’ role in achieving them. Over 60 professors worldwide are using the AIM2Flourish curriculum this semester to have their students publish mini-case studies about positive and profitable business innovations. Aim2Flourish is a project of long standing interest to this group - given their objectives and name! We are delighted that Aim2Flourish has recently decided to formally self-identify as a project of members of this group - recognizing both that many members are already involved and in order to grow their co-creation and impact! Their new project page here in our wiki provides more information on this perspective. Claire's presentation will offer an overview and update on the 2.5 year old initiative, which is housed at the Fowler Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit at the Weatherhead School of Management – Case Western Reserve University. To date, the AIM2Flourish experiential assignment has been used at 57 schools worldwide by 63 professors, by 4,175 students who cumulatively have published 1,000 stories on the AIM2Flourish.com website. You can browse these universities, professors, and stories on AIM2Flourish.com - more detail below. As usual, we are meeting on the 2nd Tuesday of the month The slides presented plus a link to the unedited recording of this meeting is available via our GoogleDrive in the folder for this months meeting.

Appreciative Inquiry was invented by Professor David Cooperrider, Fowler Center Director at the Weatherhead School of Management. After an overview and update, Claire will pose some questions to the group:
Each one of these stories represents the completion of all these steps in the assignment:
Student Impact: Our students tell us that the AIM2Flourish experience changes how they feel about business' purpose. They say that they didn't believe it was possible for a business leader to do good *and* do well until they met a leader doing exactly that. We have hundreds of student reflections that tell us that the experience changes how the students feel about their own potential to be world-benefiting leaders themselves. The link to the recording is now posted as a comment to this Linkedin Post about this meeting, along with on-going discussion about the meeting by our members. A copy of the recording is stored in the GoogleDrive folder for this months meeting.
