- Our vision is Impacting Grand Challenges: complex developmental issues which are resistant to simple interventions and often termed "wicked problems."
-GHAIDEMS suggests the following ways to impact these challenges -
By adopting this approach, GHAIDEMS seeks to eliminate instant solutions and encourages the adoption of a comprehensive, transdisciplinary approach to interventions.
Interventions should be viewed as sequential progressions, with each step building upon prior experience and creating additional opportunities whenever feasible. -
-Accepting the time it takes to build solutions to such complex challenges, it is essential to have clear communications of the underlying thought process and principles to enable consistency. -
-GHAIDEMS works in partnership with a diverse range of collaborators to foster the growth of innovations that have the potential to improve lives worldwide. -
-GHAIDEMS being a social enterprise, is guided by a social mission that can be divided into three main components.
-- facilitates the growth of innovations that enhance the quality of life. -
-
- 
- - strives to positively influence the professional and academic outcomes of education systems, even in challenging environments. -
-
-
- - seeks to enhance the mathematical sciences as both a discipline and a means for effecting social change. -

- - GHAIDEMS aims to achieve its high aspirations, as outlined in its vision and mission. The company's staffing principles establish shared values and responsibilities among its members, offering practical guidance for decision-making, which the company strives to always consider. -
-The company plans to use a principled approach to guide their decision-making and navigate the complexities of daily operations. - These principles are a reflection of the company's values, priorities, and methodologies, and will be continuously developed to ensure consistency in decision-making.
-This principle lies at the core of the company's vision. It challenges thinking to extend beyond mere individual solutions and delve into understanding how those solutions can be replicated and applied in a broader sense.
-Incorporated into the fundamental thinking of the company, this principle emphasises the importance of considering context when proposing options or interventions. Specifically, - it discourages the pursuit of singular or blanket solutions.
-This principle influences the company's problem-solving approach by fostering a holistic understanding of how every activity within the company aligns with and contributes to the broader context. - It encourages a comprehensive perspective on the company's operations and their interconnections.
-Embedded within the company ethos, this principle urges the organization to eradicate all forms of discrimination. - It serves as a guiding force to ensure inclusivity and equal treatment for all.
-The company embraces this principle by consciously integrating various forms of information into its decision-making processes while assessing their levels of uncertainty. - Its objective is to promote a balanced evaluation of options and mitigate the risk of misinformation. -
-We are a small team with a diverse set of skills and experiences. What draws us together is a - passion for development and a strong belief in achieving impact over maximising personal gain. We are based across the world with flexible working arrangements including full and part time - employees, collaborators and advisors.
