Less than 5 percent of the interventions that aspire to scale—expanding and adapting projects to reach a greater number of people—actually achieve their goal. And even fewer projects are successfully sustained. This webinar demonstrates how you can do much better by adopting systematic approaches to: (1) planning with scale in mind; (2) assessing scalability ;(3) and actively managing the transition to scale. The webinar suggests an approach, framework, guidelines, and tools for performing these three tasks. It also includes a set of lessons about scaling and sustainability drawn from the first round of the 100&Change competition and a range of other applications.
