Supported by the AlM2Flourish.com platform, business students around the world use Appreciative Inquiry (strength- based interviews) and the SDGs as a lens to search out and report on world-changing innovations. The AIM2Flourish assignment involves selecting a company that is doing business for good and supporting one or more of the UN SDGs, interviewing one of more business leaders at the company, and writing a story about the business innovation and impacts. The story is then published on AlM2Flourish.com. Your AIM2Flourish Success Find the Right Business to Write About The first step to the AIM2Flourish assignment is finding a business to write about.
