Scaling Global Change: A Social Entrepreneur’s Guide to Surviving the Start-Up Phase and Driving Impact

This book is a “how to” guide for social entrepreneurs who have a vision to change the world and need a strong organizational foundation to do it. By sharing insight into Room to Read’s story, (they’re one of the fastest growing non-profits in the past 16 years), it will provide the theoretical underpinnings and practical business lessons for growing a non-profit or social enterprise, particularly in how to cross the chasm between enthusiastic start-up to mature, worldwide brand recognition, influence, and change. Scaling Social Change outlines strong theories of change in three realms: program effectiveness, operational excellence, and strategic influence that will aid social entrepreneurs and organizational leaders of all kinds in applying discipline and the resourcefulness in translating their theories in to action that can scale to really change the world.
