Learning is therefore a crucial dimension of sustainable development. We feel that learning is inherently social activity and thus we take into consideration the learning individuals in the context of learning communities.
Learning communities have different levels of organizational complexity. Each individual is normally part of a variety of learning communities, such as a school or training context, the family, places of worship, the workplace, the marketplace.

SDMI has built its reputation on developing conscientious management executives who make impact because of their ability to think beyond the immediate or obvious. We dont just arm the executives with valuable tools, we help them to understand and evaluate just when and where these tools can most usefully be applied. So that when complex business scenarios are encountered, they have the means to understand the situation, analyse the problem, and generate genuinely viable solutions.
