Scaling Strategies: Replication, Platforms, Policy, and Ecosystems
Scale is not growth. Scale is *reliable outcomes* at larger scope.
Choose a scaling pathway aligned to your ToC and constraints—and design a scale plan that preserves outcomes.
Core Teachings
Key concepts with source texts
1) Replication (standardize + train partners) 2) Platform (enable others via tech/infrastructure) 3) Policy (change rules, budgets, enforcement) 4) Ecosystem orchestration (multi-stakeholder coordination)
Each has different risk and time horizons.
Pick one primary pathway + one secondary. Write ‘why not the others’ explicitly.
