Description

The Agile community has the power to lead the way in addressing the pressing issue of climate change, sustainability in business, and other planetary challenges locally and globally. Join us in exploring the challenges and opportunities of building a more sustainable future through exploratory and collaborative outcome-centred conversation via the power of the World Café technique. Facilitated by experts in the field, this workshop will bring together participants to engage in meaningful and inspiring discussions around the role of Agile in promoting sustainability in the workplace and further afield in wider society. With 12-200 participants, the World Café format will draw on seven design principles to create a dynamic and interactive environment for learning and exchanging ideas with a focus on action and positive impact. Some of the topics to be explored include What does sustainability mean? The Agile community's role in driving sustainability in business The impact of remote work on the environment and how Agile can promote a greener future Building sustainable communities of practice in a hybrid work environment How Agile principles can drive environmental and social responsibility in business The role of leadership in promoting sustainability in Agile organisations Strategies for building more inclusive and equitable communities that prioritise sustainability The future of work in a post-carbon world and the impact of ongoing planetary evolution.
