Internal Development Objectives (ODI)
We recognize the critical need to integrate an essential dimension to accelerate sustainable development: inner development. Although we have the necessary tools to address current challenges, it is imperative to cultivate the inner human skills and qualities needed to effectively tackle the complex problems facing our society.
The 5 Dimensions of Inner Development
We are the world’s first center for Internal Development Goals.
The Inner Development Goals (ODGs) are presented as a transformative tool that will empower individuals and organizations to tackle complex problems and improve their performance as leaders toward sustainable development.
Being
Cultivating Our Inner Life
Cultivating our inner life, developing and deepening our relationship with our thoughts, feelings, and body, helps us to be present, intentional, and non-reactive when facing complexity.
Thinking
Understanding the world around us
Expanding our clarity, considering diverse perspectives, and visualizing long-term scenarios helps us navigate complexity, spark creativity, and make wiser decisions in an increasingly interconnected world.
Relating
Caring for Others and the World
Recognizing ourselves as part of an interconnected whole strengthens our ability to care for people and the planet. Kindness, empathy, forgiveness, compassion, humility, and connection with the environment are skills that sustain healthy relationships and drive us to build a more just and inclusive world.
Collaborate
Build trust and work together
Cultivating trusting relationships and recognizing the diversity of values, skills, and perspectives to create safe spaces allows everyone to contribute to shared goals and collective impact.
Act
Lead and enable change
Moving forward with courage and optimism, strengthening collective action, and acting with purpose and persistence help us achieve true empowerment to transform visions into meaningful change, even in times of uncertainty.
