Abstract:

Giving Voice to Values (GVV) is an innovative research and curriculum development project, launched by The Aspen Institute Business and Society Program and Yale School of Management. Drawing on both the actual experiences of business practitioners as well as cutting edge social science and management research, Giving Voice to Values fills a long-standing and critical gap in business education by expanding the definition of what it means to teach business ethics. Rather than a focus on ethical analysis, this new curriculum focuses on ethical implementation and asks the question: “What if I were going to act on my values? What would I say and do? How could I be most effective?”

Giving Voice to Values identifies the many ways that individuals can and do voice their values in the workplace, and provides training to build the muscle necessary to do so, by giving students opportunities to script and practice this voice in front of their peers.

Developed by a former Harvard Business School faculty member, Giving Voice to Values holds the promises to transform the foundational assumptions upon which business ethics is taught, and more importantly, to produce a cadre of future business leaders who not only know what is right, but how to make it happen. This material is currently being tested with students and managers in dozens of educational settings globally.
