Greetings to all those interested in Giving Voice To Values!
This is Mary Gentile and I hope you are all well and thriving! I am writing to share some big news in the world of "Giving Voice To Values" (GVV)!
After 6 years of wonderful support from Babson College, GVV will be moving to a New Home. Exciting details about our future will follow soon. However as the year comes to a close, I wanted to share some Profound Gratitude.
But First I want to let you know that the GVV Curriculum Collection and Materials will continue to be available at www.GivingVoiceToValues.org and the books and other materials will continue to be available at www.MaryGentile.com. For Faculty-Only Teaching Notes and "B" cases, you can continue to contact me. And the new interactive online social cohort-based modules are still at http://nomadic.fm/ProgDetailGivingVoiceToValues.html
And I will continue to direct Giving Voice To Values and you can reach me at this NEW EMAIL: mary@marygentile.com. I welcome all your ideas, suggestions, questions and collaboration!
NOW FOR THE GRATITUDE!
I want to offer my deepest appreciation to Babson College for its generous and invaluable support to GVV and to me. Babson has been unfailingly flexible and I am forever grateful!
In particular I am grateful to former Babson President Len Schlesinger who invited me to bring GVV to the school and who believed in the promise of this pedagogy. He has been not only a sponsor and friend, but a mentor as well. Thank you!
I am also grateful to the faculty and staff at Babson who have been so encouraging to me in my efforts to develop and share GVV around the globe. And thank you to President Kerry Healey for her personal support and encouragement.
And MOST IMPORTANTLY, thanks to all of you, GVV has spread to all seven continents, to hundreds (well over 800 last count) of business schools, companies, and other organizations. We have begun to work with professional education in law, health, engineering, etc. And we have launched major initiatives in India and Africa with others in development in China. The original book from Yale University Press has been translated into Spanish and Chinese, with Korean in process and Thai in discussion. The GVV Book Collection with Business Expert Press continues to expand. Faculty members are publishing in peer reviewed journals on the approach, and the new online interactive, social cohort-based modules from Nomadic are being used around the world.
GVV started almost ten years ago with support and vision and encouragement from The Aspen Institute Business and Society Program and Yale School of Management, as well as early exploratory support from the Fetzer Institute. I will be forever grateful for the early support from former Yale SOM Dean Joel Podolny and especially for the vision and encouragement of Judy Samuelson, Founder/Director of Aspen BSP. THANK YOU!
And now ONWARD as GVV grows up! I look forward to continuing to work with all of you to share GVV as far as we all can take it! Keep an eye out for announcements about GVV's New Home in the next few months!
CHEERS, MG
