Harvard Business Review-Bridgespan Insight Center on Scaling Social Impact

HBR.org and The Bridgespan Group partnered in January 2013 to develop a three-month-long series supported by the Omidyar Network on what it takes to scale entrepreneurial ideas and solutions that benefit society.

In January 2013, Harvard Business Review and The Bridgespan Group collaborated—with generous support from the Omidyar Network—to develop a three-month series exploring what it takes to scale enterpreneurial ideas and solutions that benefit society. We explored three topics related to scale during the series:

  • What are the market-based approaches to social change, and how do we fund them?
  • How to develop talent that makes the enterprise, and the sector, tick
  • How to scale what works using technology, data, and other levers

Below are links to the posts from the series, each written by social enterprise practitioners and researchers, both upcoming and veteran. Their stories and insights provide paths both for newcomers to the field as well as those already on their journeys for improving their social impact.
