The NYU Stern | Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing
Seeking to advance the understanding, discovery, and pursuit of authentic purpose.
The NYU Stern Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing (IPF) is a community of scholars, leaders, and practitioners who seek to advance the understanding, discovery, and pursuit of purpose & flourishing. In an era characterized by rapid technological change, social upheaval, and a reevaluation of work-life dynamics, the question of purpose—for both organizations and individuals—has taken on unprecedented significance.
The founding of the Initiative honors this urgency, serving as a convening ground where academics and researchers connect with business leaders and practitioners to explore questions related to a shared goal of creating workplaces where everyone can thrive. The Initiative furthermore aims to foster these same ideals both at Stern and for the NYU community at large. Our team and affiliates work towards these goals through program delivery & development, a practice-informed research agenda, and strategic convenings.
