Term 8 - The Capstone Term | Scale and Sustainability | ISDM

The final term of the PG Program is a capstone term focused on scale and sustainability. Over a month’s time, students will be learning different strategies for scaling impact in the social sector through case studies, guest lectures, and panel discussions. Primarily they will be learning 4 different strategies outlined by Prof. Madhukar Shukla (XLRI) which are: scaling up, scaling out, scaling deep, and scaling vertically. Senior ISDM faculty, Mr. Shankar Venkateswaran is anchoring the course and has curated a set of successful NGO examples for each of these strategies. This term is unique for reasons like: - A total of 30 hours of classroom sessions including 5 lectures, 8 panel discussions, 2 plenaries - Participation of 23 senior leaders from SPOs that successfully scaled - Live project with 6 alum-founded organisations.
