The Fellows Program Begins

This week, students in our Leading by Design Fellows Program began receiving bags filled with the first readings in advance of the first Fellows residency on May 20th. These bags are custom-configured by Rickshaw Bags, a local bag company that produced one of the most sustainable bags on the planet.

We selected Rickshaw's Zero bag because it's made with zero waste and can be recycled in one piece since it's made entirely with Nylon (and a few bits of metal).

The bags are filed with the following books:
The Truth About Green Business, by Gil Friend
• Design is the Problem, by Nathan Shedroff
Thinking in Systems, by Donella Meadows
Resilience Thinking, Brian Walker, David Salt, & Walter Reid
A Whole New Mind, by Daniel Pink
• Strategy for Sustainability, by Adam Werbach
Change by Design, by Tim Brown

In addition to these books, there are several articles assigned before the first residency session. During the first residency, the following guest faculty will speak and lead discussion among the students and leaders:
Tim Brown, CEO, IDEO
Bob Dunham, Enterprise Perform
Michael Barry, Point Forward
Linda Yaven, CCA
• Derek Thompson, Pixar
