Leader Generation
Shaping the Future of Business, One Leader at a Time
AACSB, in a series produced for us and series participants by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions, is showcasing the transformative impact of business education worldwide. Through compelling storytelling, this series highlights the innovation, leadership, and societal contributions of AACSB’s global membership. By amplifying these stories on a renowned international platform, we elevate the value of business education and its role in shaping a better, more sustainable future. The series is bringing to life the powerful narratives of business schools, their graduates, and the communities they serve.
At AACSB-accredited business schools, the next generation of leaders is rising—bold thinkers, changemakers, and innovators shaping the future of business and society. Leader Generation showcases their journeys, highlighting how these institutions empower students and graduates to turn ambition into impact. In partnership with BBC Storyworks, this project brings to life inspiring stories of resilience, innovation, and success. Through powerful narratives and dynamic visuals, explore how business education is transforming lives and creating leaders who are redefining what’s possible.
