Dear visitors,
It is a privilege for me to introduce ISOD, a unique school built on a tightly integrated framework of development concepts and tools. ISOD helps people in three ways: it helps them grow their organizations, grow their network of trusted colleagues and friends, and it also helps them grow into leaders, mentors and better human beings.
A taste for challenge in our neverending quest of development, both individual and organizational, is one of the features shared by ISOD alumni and students. Our diverse profiles lead us to take different career paths, but as a development community we share the same core values, represent a colorful range of diversity, and participate in achieving a common goal: building a better future for all. Our ethical principles (a concept which businesses today often need to revisit) include, above all: doing good, nurturing trust, honesty and respect for individual boundaries, positive proactivity, open-mindedness, sharing of knowledge and solidarity.
We look forward to seeing more of you in our growing network!
