Action Project Learning Uncovers Innovative Solutions for Nike, GE and other Global Leaders

Each year, the Center for Innovation Excellence and Leadership (IXL Center) partners with the Hult International Business School and its MBA students on ‘real world’ action projects that bring growth potential to companies like Verizon, Nike, GE, Levis, and more. These Hult Innovation Olympics combine real innovation enterprise challenges with international MBA teams who then compete to produce the best innovative solutions in an Apprentice style model.

This 2 minute video features Peter Tippett, VP of Technology Innovation at Verizon Business, who shares his experience from inside the Action Project. The video also highlights students competing to uncover the best innovative ideas.
