Module 8 – Scaling Impact Through Ecosystems
Scaling social impact means increasing the positive change created by an initiative. However, scaling does not always mean growing an organization in size.
Social entrepreneurs can scale impact in several ways. Some expand their programs to reach new regions. Others replicate their model through partners or create toolkits and frameworks that allow other organizations to adopt their approach.
Another pathway involves influencing policies or systems so that solutions can be adopted at a larger scale by governments, institutions, or communities.
Understanding these pathways helps founders think strategically about how their work can create the greatest possible impact.
