MDT – A TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL

This article proposes a new Territorial Development Model (TDM) aimed at the design and implementation of sustainable development projects. The model incorporates qualified listening mechanisms and alignment among stakeholders, offering a system of actionable and internationally comparable metrics. Additionally, the TDM structures effective governance to accelerate concrete results, overcome limitations imposed by political cycles, and ensure the legal certainty needed to attract public and private investments. The model aims to transform development dynamics, ensuring more effective, efficient, and impactful interventions. The methodology integrates the concepts of Jobs-to-be-Done, Design Thinking, Stakeholder Capitalism (World Economic Forum), and the Social Progress Index (Michael Porter).
