Scaling Impact

<p><em>Scaling Impact</em> 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.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>To encourage uptake and co-development the authors present actionable principles that can help organisations and innovators design manage and evaluate scaling strategies. <i>Scaling Impact</i> 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.</p>
