2024 webinar series :: Program WORLD WORK, bringing up Sustainability & Agile

WIA TO presents the Impact Program WORLD WORK: A Sustainability Incubator Projects (SIP) of Sustainability & Agility

*Session Info*
We’re excited to share this webinar with our local Torontonians, Joanne Stone, Arev Hakobyan and Pamela Castillo. An interactive workshop that will allow you to experience how we have used design sprints to apply to sustainability challenges. Women in Agile Org has a new impact program called World Work, and we would love you to join us as we kick off one of our team’s initiatives in Toronto: Sustainability Incubator Projects (SIPs).

*What is World Work?*
Women in Agile's mission has been to improve the future of the workplace, but we believe that, as agilists, we are positioned to change the WORLD. World Work contributes to a just, thriving and sustainable human presence on the planet by mobilizing agilists uniquely skilled to make a massively positive impact.

*What is a SIP?*
SIP (Sustainability Incubator Projects) focuses on bringing our agile and design sprint expertise to local community projects. If you're passionate about positively impacting a cause close to your heart, these projects might be the perfect way to turn your vision into reality.

*SIP Background*
A novel and new opportunity has opened up to our Agile Community. How we as agilists can apply Agility to sustainability. Over the past 4 years, Joanne has been discovering agilists impacting social, economic, and environmental changes with Agility. The stories are tall and wide, helping to remove marginalization in the Middle East, helping out with endangered African Penguins, working with under-resourced college students in the US, and bringing together a rural Newfoundland community to address the true problem they are facing. The ability to work on something that can matter in your own backyard with tools from Agility has inspired the foundation of Sustainability Incubator Projects.

Sustainability Incubator Projects use Design Sprints with a few twists. The SIPster team is sharing how they have used SIPS in a local community garden in Ajax-Whitby to improve volunteers for producing food for local food banks and the Latino Community - Networking to Networking improve the value they give to their community to allow them to find jobs in Canada.

*What is in it for the WIA TO community?*

• Learn how to do SIP for a sustainability challenge, and they can do it at work.
• Brainstorm a challenge for the group or give them a problem, such as the fact that there are no jobs for Agilists.
• Leave them with possibilities of what they can do with this challenge
• Showcase the tools, the enthusiasm, and the collaboration as Agilists. We can do it.
• Create more hope that their skills can do great things.
