This resource from Duke’s Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship helps students understand what it really means to “scale” an impact idea.
Instead of treating scale as just “getting bigger,” it breaks down different pathways—replication, partnerships, policy influence, open-sourcing models—and explores when each makes sense.
Through clear frameworks and realworld examples, it helps learners think strategically about how a promising intervention can reach more people or change underlying systems without losing its core mission.
