Scaling Impact introduces a new and practical approach to scaling
the positive impacts of research and innovation. Inspired by
leading scientific and entrepreneurial innovators from across
Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East,
this book presents a synthesis of unrivalled diversity and grounded
ingenuity. The result is a different perspective on how to achieve
impact that matters, and an important challenge to the predominant
more-is-better paradigm of scaling. For organisations and
individuals working to change the world for the better, scaling
impact is a common goal and a well-founded aim. The world is
changing rapidly, and seemingly intractable problems like
environmental degradation or accelerating inequality press us to do
better for each other and our environment as a global community.
Challenges like these appear to demand a significant scale of
action, and here the authors argue that a more creative and
critical approach to scaling is both possible and essential. To
encourage uptake and co-development, the authors present actionable
principles that can help organisations and innovators design,
manage, and evaluate scaling strategies. Scaling Impact is
essential reading for development and innovation practitioners and
professionals, but also for researchers, students, evaluators, and
policymakers with a desire to spark meaningful change.
