Supporting a systems approach to scaling for all; insights from using the Scaling Scan tool por Woltering, Lennart, Valencia Leñero, Eva M., Boa, Maria, Van Loon, Jelle, Ubels, Jan, Leeuwis, Cees

“…The scoring of the scaling ingredients show a tendency to focus on familiar disciplines (mostly technical), limiting progression beyond a “bigger pilot” and engage with what or who is required for innovations to contribute to large scale change, such as market and public support. Transitioning from a linear to a systems approach to scaling is challenging because business models of research organizations depend on high adoption of “their” innovations. …”
