Philosophy

We have a clear objective to pursue

Mission

The world IS DIgital.

We are not in an era of changes, but in a change of an era. Those who are not capable to reinterpret this new digital ecosystem will find themselves in a growing competitive disadvantage.

Vision

ISDI is the worldwide leader in digital education.

Our mission is to help professionals, entrepreneurs, enterprises and institutions in their transformation to become competitive in the digital era.

Dream

We are confident that by doing this we will help humanity to find the way to positively manage this transition and thus contribute to build a more fair, sustainable and equal digital world where nobody is left behind.

Manifesto of Digital Optimism

We believe that the phenomenon of digitalization is not only inevitable but is also positive, fun and exciting. Our attitude toward this new era must be one of curiosity, experimentation and enjoyment.

The Person

The PERSON is the center and power resides in the INDIVIDUAL. Never before has each one of us had so much capacity to influence our environment.

The User

For the USER, the digital environment makes LIFE EASIER, RICHER, MORE INTERESTING and MORE FUN as it streamlines processes and eliminates bureaucracy, brings order to chaos, saves time, facilitates the acquisition of services and products, lowers prices, allows comparison, provides access to data, content, services and products, and encourages communication, contact and mutual aid.

Society

Digital society is more EGALITARIAN. It mitigates differences in gender, race, beliefs and nationalities. What matters is the CONVERSATION, not the characteristics of whoever is behind it.

The Digital World

The digital world is more GLOBAL and HUMANITY is more CONNECTED. Psychological and geographical boundaries are blurred as we all share the same Internet world in which COMMUNICATION is easy and instantaneous and CONTACT with other CULTURES and WAYS OF UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD is automatic. This promotes and facilitates SOLIDARITY and UNDERSTANDING.

The Digital Environment

The digital environment favors the development of TALENT, eliminating barriers of intermediation, financing and access: IDEAS are closer to REALITY, ART and ARTISTS are closer to their public, ENTREPRENEURS are closer to PROFIT, and PRODUCTS are within reach of their MARKETS.

The World of Work

In the WORLD OF WORK, digital technology facilitates WORK-LIFE BALANCE, the choice of RESIDENCE and the integration of DISABLED PEOPLE, bringing flexibility to the slavery of timetables and the need to be physically present in a static job.

Knowledge

The vast KNOWLEDGE accumulated by all mankind throughout our history, updated in real time, is finally available to that same humanity, and access to EDUCATION and CULTURE is available to huge layers of society that had formerly been denied it.

Sharing

The ability to generate, share and access direct, real time CONVERSATIONS between individuals on a planetary scale guarantees the TRANSPARENCY of INFORMATION and reduces the gagging implied by the CENSORSHIP, BIASED INTERPRETATION AND MANIPULATION of power groups.

Condemning and Combating

The immense power of the digital environment also allows its tools to be used NEGATIVELY. Our mission is to CONDEMN and COMBAT such attitudes and situations, using the power that the digital world has given us. But we will not let the establishment use the isolated negative actions of individuals, organizations or groups as justification to delay unstoppable digital development.

THIS MANIFESTO HAS NO TENTH POINT

Because the speed of the digital world means it is continuously being rewritten by all of us, at the same speed as the previous points are deleted or modified as they become obsolete.

Our symbols

THE ARMILLARY SPHERE

The ISDI emblem is an ancient instrument for determining the position and height of the stars in the sky.

It was used by navigators, astronomers and scientists to locate astral bodies and observe their movements, to determine the time from the latitude or, vice versa, to establish the latitude when the time is known. It symbolizes the vocation of navigation and discovery of a new world that is always in perpetual motion, in which the unknown is no more than something temporarily hidden, yet to be conquered.

<> Angle brackets

This symbol is a fundamental element in the composition of the ISDI brand.

Its origin is the double symbol known as angle brackets, used to identify the tags in HTML markup, the code read by Internet browsers. It represents the universal language that the digital world brings to humanity.

Perpetuum mobile

The motto of ISDI is the Latin phrase that means "perpetual motion"

This concept, eternally pursued by scientists and alchemists, symbolizes our vocation of constant updating of our methodologies and contents in a world where change is the only constant.
