Scaling Social Innovation
Social enterprises have seen remarkable growth in recent years, tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges with innovative solutions. But turning promising ideas into scalable, lasting impact remains a significant hurdle. The Leuphana Social Innovation Community is here to bridge that gap. We explore, develop, and test practical strategies to help social innovations grow, amplifying their reach, and strengthening their contribution to a more sustainable future.
Our interactive workshops are for anyone interested in scaling social innovation and impact. You will learn how scientific findings can be translated into practical strategies and also develop individual scaling approaches for your ideas. What are the success factors? What challenges await you on the path to scaling? With a mix of theoretical input and practical exercises, the workshop offers a platform for the exchange of best practices and personal experiences.
If you have an idea yourself that is just waiting to be scaled, please get in touch with us or check the dates for the next workshop and register directly.
The Social Innovation Community is building up extensive knowledge in a wide range of activities with science and practice. We want to share and disseminate this knowledge in the form of a casebook. We explain the various scaling approaches within our community and show how social innovations can be even more successful. The aim of the book is therefore not only to gain a deeper understanding of the complex interrelationships involved in scaling social innovations, but also to create a concrete practical reference from which future innovators can benefit.
If you would like to write a case study (approx. 6,000 words) and contribute to the casebook, please take a look at our complete Call for Chapters. You can find it here. [Linked Document]
