Background
As we approach 2030, only 15% of the SDGs have been achieved. Despite the efforts to create a more equal and climate-just world, we are falling short of our goals. We need to scale our response to the problems we are facing. While the potential impact of scaling is immense, organizations struggle to create workable strategies, shift mindsets, and attract skills and resources to support the transition into scale. Having said this, it’s never been more important to understand the potential scaling has to increase your organization’s impact.
To support community learning, Partos, War Child, Max Foundation and Rutgers are joining forces to organise an online session about scaling for social impact. We aim to facilitate an active exchange on experiences and approaches for scaling social impact in cross-sector partnerships (public, private, social enterprises).
Scaling for Maximizing social impact – learning and exchange session
In this session we will dive into different scaling strategies and learn how INGOs and other social-impact organisations have applied scaling to effect positive change.
With an expert panel consisting of Michele Ernsting (War Child), Marjolijn Wilmink – (Max Foundation) and Ardan Kockelkoren (Rutgers) we will explore principles and real-life cases to answer key questions like:
- What does scaling mean in the non-profit sector?
- What are the steps/stages in scaling?
- What are the different ways in which you can scale?
- What are guiding principles of scaling?
Programme outline
