With strong participation, we concluded the second module of our training series “Transform Your Work: New Tools for CSOs,” where more than 40 organizations explored how innovation and agile methodologies can strengthen civil society’s work.
Over the course of the sessions, we focused on four key areas:
- Planning in changing contexts: strategies for adapting to uncertainty with flexibility.
- Building collaborative teams: tools to strengthen teamwork and shared dynamics.
- Fostering a culture of continuous improvement: driving more efficient and sustainable internal processes.
- Practical application in social projects: concrete examples of applying methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban to the social sector.
The module featured the participation of leading experts:
- Ariel Kirshbom and Marcelo Fernández, Agile Coaches at EY, who introduced the main agile approaches and their value for CSOs.
- Verónica Gil Libarona, Coordinator at Chicas en Tecnología, who shared a hands-on case study applying these methodologies.
- Jenifer Mazariegos Taracena, Operations Coordinator at Jóvenes Contra la Violencia (Guatemala), who presented how design thinking can be a key tool for social project design.
This second module reaffirmed the importance of adapting tools from the business world to the social sector, proving that innovation and agility are also key to strengthening the impact of organizations.
