ISDM is establishing the domain of Development Management

ISDM was founded in 2016  to establish the domain of Development Management as distinctly different from business management or public administration, to enable social purpose organisations to have impact at population scale.

'Management' is a powerful tool for organisations to operate at scale.

Management is the scaffolding that allows for individuals and orgnizations to operate and achieve results at scale. The Social Sector has never had the benefit of dedicated development of the theory and practice of professional management unlike say Business Management for the world of business and Public Administration for the State.
