The world’s progress towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals is slow. Why?
A key factor is how we think and act. Research shows that individual and organisational challenges, such as limited self-awareness, unconscious biases, short term thinking and ineffective collaboration, hinder our ability to translate strategies into action.
To overcome these challenges, the Inner Development Goals project was initiated in 2019 by a number of organisations that identified an urgent need for the development of relevant skills and qualities for inner growth of leaders who work with complex societal issues.
The result is a framework with five dimensions:
Being: Understanding ourselves and our motivations.
Thinking: Expanding our awareness and seeing problems as opportunities.
Relating: Building empathy and appreciation for others.
Collaborating: Fostering trust and effective teamwork.
Acting: Overcoming inner blocks and taking action.
By consciously applying these dimensions, we can improve our decision-making, collaboration, and overall effectiveness in achieving our goals.
Businesses like 3P impact and Bluebird Leadership are using the IDGs in their work, helping unlock the best in ourselves and our teams.
In collaboration with expert coaches around the world we have created a proven model Net Zero MAP to help catalyse positive and purposeful change.
We recorded an engaging podcast about the Net Zero MAP model the other day. We look forward to publishing it soon. Keep an eye out for it on this website and in your podcast player.
