Introduction to ISDM

ISDM is a one of its kind Management School for the Social Sector, established to improve the lives of millions of people living in poverty by transforming the way Social Sector Organisations are built, led and managed for sustained impact at scale. This would help increase the impact of Billions of Dollars and Millions of People Hours spent on issues of social change year on year. The vision of ISDM is to catalyse an ecosystem for Development Management (DM) in the country. Towards this, we work on addressing three critical gaps in the ecosystem:

  • Practice Gap: Building Stronger Organisations by Strengthening the Practice of Management in the Sector (Strategic Capacity Building)
  • Knowledge Gap: Catalysing a Body of Knowledge for Development Management (Global Knowledge Hub)
