Climate change is accelerating and the impacts will be severe.
Using proven coaching practices, InsideOutAgile helps climate tech companies to respond to this urgency with greater agility – from the inside out – by developing the organization’s leadership, culture, practices, and systems in alignment with the complexity and uncertainty inherently at play when tackling climate change.
The predominant organizational structures and behaviours of technology based organizations are well established in our world. A conditioned tendency towards individualism, competition, and top-down decision making perpetuates cycles of environmental and social harm by leaning “too hard” on power over and control based practices and systems to support the way forward. Such top-down, control-oriented ways of working paved the way for the current climate crisis – and new models are required to address it.
Using an Integral approach to organizational structures and behaviours, InsideOutAgile aims to develop internal capacity within the organization for decentralized leadership (with minimal top down hierarchies), fostering environments of trust (over transactions), in support of taking an emergent approach to strategy (over one that seeks to control).
These new structures are fit for purpose and supported through individual and team coaching to empower and enable individuals to meet the environmental, social, and profit demands of the business with greater ease, wellbeing, and agility.
In turn, these organizations attract and retain diverse, high-performing, and passionate individuals by enabling them to fully deploy their skills, ideas, knowledge, and unique lived experiences to the realization of the organization’s mission. In addition, the organization is well positioned to catalyze its ability to create systemic change in the communities where they operate. They also spent less time, energy, and effort attempting to manage situations that inherently (and with good reason) resist being managed.
Combining 20 years of direct and hands-on high tech experience (working on the front line delivery as well as in management and senior leadership roles) with extensive professional coaching development (Integral Coaching Canada, ICAgile, Collective Edge, Strozzi Institute) – InsideOutAgile creates climate tech organizations that are self-managing, empowering, resilient, creative, and adaptive.
