About ISDM
ISDM is an institution founded to create, strengthen and establish Development Management, a domain that transcends the exclusive silos of development perspectives and management principles. ISDM recognises the need to \'professionalise the Leading and Managing of Social Purpose Organisations (SPOs). The institution sees the development space as requiring the application of management disciplines that are unique and tailored to the scale of the sector. Management that doesnt merely retrofit Business Management to development projects, but one that is born specifically from the coming together of the two crucial domains.

By 2025, ISDM aims to become the go-to management institute for top professionals wanting to transform the development sector for a greater impact on peoples lives. In order to achieve this aim, ISDM has identified three broad focus areas

1. Continuously building the one-year-long Post-Graduate Program in Development Management (PGP-DM);
2. Creating a strong research function that will lay the foundations for Development Management and leadership as a unique domain and discipline;
3. Launching Strategic Capacity Building Programs aimed at influencing and upskilling middle to senior leaders in the social sector through special workshops, short-term courses, and customised convenings.

The belief is that Management for the Social Sectors (or Development Management) will significantly scale up the positive impacts on the lives of people in sustained ways. ISDM is entering a new phase of growth with a revamped program and renewed focus on establishing itself firmly as a preeminent institution in its domain. This requires strategic and energetic institutional leadership.
