IBIS - Initiatives

The P3 Impact Award was created by Concordia, the University of Virginia Darden School Institute for Business in Society, and the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Global Partnerships to recognize and honor leading public-private partnerships (P3s) that improve communities and the world.

The Tri-Sector Leadership Fellows (TSL) program is a cross-university effort designed to explore effective, responsible leadership and the importance of multi-disciplinary perspectives in decision-making. 

A foundational idea developed by Professor Ed Freeman, Stakeholder Theory offers a view of capitalism that asserts the interconnected relationships between a business and its customers, suppliers, employees, investors, communities and others who have a stake in the organization.

The initiative provides students with a suite of world-class curricular, experiential and professional offerings to support their educational interests and long-term career pursuits in health care.

IBiS co-hosted Darden's Artificial Intelligence Initiative which evolved to become the LaCross Institute in September 2024. The new institute aims to generate interdisciplinary research, foster dialogue, and support education that provides the intelligence and insights that decision-makers will need to address this important challenge.

Darden partners with the Billie Jean King Foundation to produce a series of case studies through Darden Business Publishing.

The Sustainability Initiative provides a space for discussion around the environmental, economic, and social issues that businesses grapple with today.

Giving Voice to Values (GVV) is an innovative approach to values-driven leadership development in business education and the workplace.
