Prioritizing Platforms Over Projects with Danny Roberts (Exponential Growth Part 1)

Dimagi recently published its 5 year strategy for High-Impact Growth. In this episode, we discuss Strategic Priority #2: Sustain Exponential Growth. Jonathan Jackson is joined by Dimagi's Director of Engineering, Danny Roberts, to unpack a key consideration: we prioritize platforms over projects. You'll learn:

Why Dimagi won't accept linear growth, and how we plan to go about achieving exponential growth to reach and support Frontline Workers globally

How Dimagi's focus on platforms has allowed us to develop CommCare with project-based funding 

How Dimagi's engineering team thinks about building new requests into the platform and how this allows CommCare to be priced at a fraction of the cost

How the idea of investing in platforms is also a path forward for better supporting global health workforces
