Scaling plan

How can it help me?­­

The scaling plan can help you create a shared vision for scaling up your idea, and can be used to start an important dialogue with your stakeholders. It asks key questions to help you assess how ready you are to scale and what areas you need to develop further.

How do I use it?

Work through the scaling plan with team members or stakeholders, using the questions to prompt important discussions around the five key areas.

Tips

  • Try to include factual data in your evidence, which you may need to prepare beforehand.
  • Being open, honest and self-critical during the process will help you to get an accurate picture of your current situation and readiness to scale.
