Scale Your Social Enterprise with the SCALERS Model

The Harvard Graduate School of Education released a new model to help social enterprises scale. It’s called SCALERS. These 7 questions, derived from the model, can help you determine your organizations ability and readiness to scale.

Staffing: What is your organization’s effectiveness at recruiting, engagement, and retaining employees?

Communication: How effective is your organization at engaging stakeholders?

Alliance building: Does your organization have a strong ability to form and leverage partnerships?

Lobbying: Can your organization affect decisions of local government?

Earning generation: Beyond revenue, can your organization generate profits and reduce costs?

Replicating: How effectively can your organization reproduce effective programs and initiatives?

Stimulating market: Can your organization create incentives that encourage people or institutions to pursue private interests while also serving the public good
