Over the past 13 years, SDI specialists have built up substantial experience and expertise in project planning and design including site analysis, market testing and development planning for initial-stage planning projects to large-scale urban and regional developments.

SDI founders and principals have more than four decades of project experience in more than 70 countries and have worked with the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and leading for-profit and nonprofit organizations, including PriceWaterHouseCoopers, the SETA Corporation and various consulting practices.

SDI works to align the interests of stakeholders in support of market-driven strategies, and builds sustained capabilities in the public and private sector.

In support of these initiatives, SDI founders and principals have built substantial experience in project planning and design including site analysis, technical analysis, market testing, and strategic structuring for projects in the initial planning stage. 

SDI has over four decades of project experience in over 70 countries.  Our clients include the World Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the SETA Corporation and various other profit and non-profit organizations. 

SDI ’s innovative authoring tools, developed by our sister firm, Openworld Learning LLC, enable us to rapidly and affordably create and share e-learning courses on best practices on an anytime, anywhere basis.  We equip clients as well with “event capture” capabilities that enable them to continuously update original e-learning materials with interviews, technical briefings, seminars, and workshops.

These advantages have led to adoption of our e-learning solutions by theWorld Bank, Ideachannel.com and various consulting groups for internal training resource development, conversion of Nobel Laureate interviews and lectures into on-demand learning formats and for presentation of successful economic reform strategies by former Presidents and Prime Ministers.
