ExpandNet (2010). Nine steps for developing a scaling up strategy. Retrieved from Organization website: https://expandnet.net/tools/.

Description

This tool and associated worksheets are based on the ExpandNet framework. The tool provides step-by-step guidance for developing a scaling-up strategy. It also supports the management of a scaling-up project.

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The tool consists of nine steps:

Step 1. Planning actions to increase the scalability of the innovation

Step 2. Increasing the capacity of the user organization to implement scaling up

Step 3. Assessing the environment and planning actions to increase the potential for scaling-up success

Step 4. Increasing the capacity of the resource team to support scaling up

Step 5. Making strategic choices to support vertical scaling up (institutionalization)

Step 6. Making strategic choices to support horizontal scaling up (expansion/replication)

Step 7. Determining the role of diversification

Step 8. Planning actions to address spontaneous scaling up

Step 9. Finalizing the scaling-up strategy and identifying next steps
