Success factor Learning & innovation

Abstract

One key issue that arises when dealing with change processes in any area of social concern is how you can achieve results that are as broad-based as possible. Scaling-up is one way of replicating innovative, tried-and-tested approaches on a wider scale. Taking the learning cycle of variation, selection and restabilisation as a basis, innovative approaches often emerge as part of variation, i. e. through minor or major modifications to the established routines in the area of social concern. These variations can prove invaluable when it comes to identifying innovative, tried-andtested approaches that can be scaled up.
