Discover how the same inner capacities that help us thrive in Agile work — courage, openness, respect… — are also the skills defined by the Inner Development Goals (IDGs), the global framework for building the human foundation to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In 2015, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provided a comprehensive plan for a sustainable world by 2030. However, progress is not happening fast enough, and we urgently need to increase our collective abilities to face and work effectively with complex challenges.
This is why there is co-creation of the Inner Development Goals (IDG) – in a non-profit initiative committed to fostering inner development towards more sustainable futures. It’s about the research, collection, and communication of science-based skills and qualities that help us to live purposeful, sustainable, and productive lives.
As Women in Agile, we already bring a lot to the table to support this global movement, on small and larger scales.
Purpose of the Workshop:
To explore how Agile values, principles, and ways of working already nurture the Inner Development Goals — a framework of 23 essential human skills and qualities for sustainable development — and how we can intentionally strengthen this connection to grow personal and collective resilience.
In this slot, we will light-handedly co-create using liberating structures – we will feel, think, share and move together.
At the end of the workshop, you will be able to answer what inner quality you will cultivate to be more resilient, adaptive, and unstoppable in your Agile journey.
Intended Outcomes:
Participants will:
- Understand the basic idea of the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) and their relevance to Agile ways of working – and vice versa
- Identify intersections between Agile principles/Scrum values and IDG dimensions.
- Reflect on how personal and team-level growth supports sustainable, adaptive collaboration.
- Leave with one actionable idea or mindset shift to apply in their work.
