Every theory of change, needs a theory-of-scale
There is a clear need for new approaches that can help us re-imagine how we catalyze impact at scale.
What we do
@ Scale Missions
Re-imagine what is possible, reorient how we leverage scarce resources, and catalyze efforts across the ecosystem to reach and deliver outcomes at scale
Large Programs
Re-orient the theory of change from a first-mile perspective and redesign the way we implement and govern programs to deliver results with speed and quality, at scale.
Digital Platforms
Digitally enable practitioners, programs and organizations to work together and amplify both individual and collective impact
Re-orient missions and programs to reach and catalyze impact at scale
Create an enabling environment for impact at scale
We cannot just focus on mission or program objectives if we are committed to sustainable development at scale. We need to ensure that our efforts also contribute toward strengthening the ecosystem in which we all operate
Empower front line practitioners
Democratize knowledge and data
Enhance state
capacity
Our roots
Our journey as an organization started with Societal Platform thinking and the desire to contribute and find ways to resolve societal challenges at scale. The idea that we continue to collectively chase the same problems for decades despite investing billions of dollars each year, only to find that those problems are growing in size and complexity, was unacceptable. The (remote) possibility that we can do something about it was too exciting to pass!
It became clear that scaling-what-works will not lead us to solutions that work-at-scale. We benefited from the experience of pioneers who have shown that the answer lies in identifying and resolving pivotal challenges – problems that constrain thousands of well-meaning actors and organizations across the ecosystem.
We felt that the best way to serve this mission is to partner (instead of competing) with existing agencies around the world that are committed to enabling societal change at scale, and find ways to amplify their impact. Our journey since has enabled us to unearth pivotal challenges, unlock new possibilities, digitally re-imagine and transform how multiple stakeholders work together to achieve ambitious goals, and identify ways to solve and enable systems change. If the past is any indicator of the future, we are super excited about what more we can achieve if we stay the course!
