One of the most significant shifts that organizations, communities, governments, and non-profits are facing in this century is an increased focus on addressing social, economic, and climate challenges that impacts everyone. Many Sustainability Experts, Governments, climate activists, social activists, and many more are getting stuck at work or in their communities with the complexity of their challenges.

Did you ever think that you could use Agility in these global problems that we are facing?

As Agilists, we thrive in emergent, unknown, complex spaces, and these global experts have the same challenges we experience within our corporations and communities.

Can we thrive in this space as well? Many of us feel we have all that is needed to succeed.

Joanne has interviewed over a dozen Agilists worldwide to find out how they thrive in this space. The stories range from working with under-resourced students in the US to governments in rural Canada to marginalization in the middle east. She has been asking what part of Agility they use and what they do not. What wisdom can they share with others? And much more.

In this session, we will,

• Explore the impact that Agility has made on our planet via the stories of those who have made an impact.
• Understand the different planetary challenges beyond climate where we can make an impact
• See beyond Agility and how the world responds to planetary challenges - ESG for our Corporations, Donut Economy, Regenerative Leadership, and more.
• Share your 5-minute story of Agility's impact on Planetary Challenges.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understanding the practices used for planetary challenges and where you can start
• Tangible ideas and practices to conduct in their organization and community
• Awareness of the community of practitioners making an impact in planetary challenges worldwide and who are willing to help you get started on your journey.
• Recognising the need to adapt and evolve Agile practices to meet changing sustainability needs with an understanding of what is beyond agile (regenerative leadership, donut economy, ESG, mental health, …)
• Understanding that this is not for everyone and that this journey is not one we can do alone
