About us > Overview

The New Development Solutions Group (NDSG) has proven capabilities offering a broad spectrum of services and products to development organizations, universities, volunteers and educational and business entrepreneurs in the developing world. NDSG offers turnkey social entrepreneurship solutions that combine first world skills and analytical capabilities with years of successful on the ground experience. Other organizations may offer consulting, training or model design solutions, but they won't have NDSG's in-depth grassroots development background. As well, you may encounter organizations who are experienced in grassroots development, but they won't bring the unequalled mix of consulting, rural enterprise development, social marketing, training, and model creation and implementation capabilities that NDSG offers. In short, NDSG is able to provide the most innovative solutions and resources for our constituents working in difficult environments because we are proven social entrepreneurs ourselves.

First and foremost, we understand that our success is 100% based on the real and perceived success or our clients. Our success is always founded on a well thought-out and executed process. NDSG is led by an international development team that is well versed in creating innovative and sustainable responses to difficult challenges. The NDSG teams' skill set and capabilities are reflected in both the breadth and depth of our work. From creating rural internet center best practices guides for USAID, to designing a macro and micro-franchising strategy for VisionSpring, to our work with top universities participating in our social entrepreneurship internship program, we have continuously achieved success.  Although our work takes us to such diverse environments as Paraguay, Serbia and West Africa, we have continually found that fundamental principles to achieving success remain the same. And applying those principles with a passion to truly make a difference is what sets our work apart.

The initiatives that we have created, lead and consulted for are all unique in nature. Although our focus may appear to be broad, in reality it is not. In fact, everything we do is in direct response to development challenges in order to provide our clients with the unique tools to help them better and more efficiently effectuate positive change. The tools may differ but the process for designing the tools demands the same inherent competencies.

"The team is comprised of hard-working, intelligent individuals who are successfully mixing their social goals with a very strong sense of hard work and dedication."
