This event was hosted by the Scaling Up Community of Practice and took place on March 12, 2024.
This panel discussion featured Isabel Guerrero and her coauthors presenting and discussing with a global panel of experts, including Gregory Chen (Managing Director of the Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative, BRAC International), the key messages from their recently published book, “Scaling Up Development Impact.”
The book de-mystifies, frames and elucidates many of the scaling themes of greatest interest to practitioners, funders, scholars, and the larger development community. It slices through important debates surrounding scaling, drawing on Isabel’s experience as Vice President at the World Bank, her experience supporting organizations to scale impact at Imago Global Grassroots, and her many years teaching a course on scaling at the Harvard Kennedy School. With a grounding in real organizational experiences, the book offers questions and tools to guide the scaling process, examining scaling from the purview of for-profits, governments, social enterprises, and funders.
