Scaling Out, Scaling Up, Scaling Deep

Darcy Riddell, Michele-Lee Moore · J.W. McConnell Family Foundation; Tamarack Institute · 2015

A free report prepared for the McConnell Foundation and Tamarack Institute, drawn from a decade of the foundation's Applied Dissemination grants and peer learning group. It sets out three ways to spread a social innovation: scaling out to more people and places, scaling up into policy and law, and scaling deep into culture, values and relationships. It shares lessons and strategies from grantees, plus what made the peer learning process work. Teams use it to plan beyond simple replication.
