Scaling Readiness in ActionModule 1: FundamentalsHow Scaling Occurs in Livelihood Systems? Story of Penicillin  What were the innovations?Which steps Penicillin followed until it was scaled?What are innovations in Agricultural Systems?Source: CGIARHow to scale innovations? “A good gulp of hot whiskey at bedtime—it’s not very scientific, but it helps.”Alexander FlemingThe inventor of Penicillin“Tell me what brand of whiskey that (General Ulysses) Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals.”Abraham Lincoln16th US President“If Lincoln thinks that a barrel will scale the war success, maybe it can help with scaling agricultural innovations!”Murat SartasWhisky Loving Scaling ScientistWhat is Scaling Readiness?An Approach to1. Enhance scaling performance of R4D initiatives2. Optimize scaling investments3. Provide Evidence for Science of ScalingScaling Readiness ConceptsStave: ComponentCoreComplementaryHoop: Innovation PackageScaling Readiness in ActionModule 2: Building Innovation PackageHow to Develop A Strategy (Theory) of Scaling?What were the steps?1.

Identifying the scaling readiness levela. Add three columns to the spreadsheet: component readiness, component use and scaling readinessb. Discuss and determine readiness and use for each component using the scalesc. Identify the (critical) components with minimum readiness and used. Calculate the scaling readiness level4. Develop component development strategya. Add 8 columns: substitution, outsourcing, development, best option, target readiness, target use relocate, new goal and targetb. Discuss and determine substitution,outsourcing and development possibilities for each option for each critical componentc. Identify the best option for each component. d. Discuss readiness and use targetse. If there is no best option, it relocation feasible?f. If relocation not feasible, refine goals and start the process againStakeholder Engagement StrategyWhich stakeholders to Engage? The more specific the betterHow to engage with them? What is the best engagement option?Develop your innovation development strategy- Project based groups supported by Murat, Marc and Seerp, 20 Min4. Develop component development strategy5. Develop stakeholder engagement strategya. Add one column to the spreadsheet and specify which stakeholders can contribute to pursuing the best optionb. List each stakeholderc. For each stakeholder add a pair of columns. Add the name of the stakeholder and the best engagement means (Workshop, publication, periodic visits etc)NOW YOU CAN READY TO WRITE DRAFT SCALING ACTION PLAN USING THE SPREADSHEETScaling Readiness in ActionModule 4: Introduction to Evidence Based Scaling EVIDENCE BASED SCALINGDraft scaling action plan is ready but- Has key stakeholders been represented?- Is it certain that innovation package is complete?- Are the readiness and use assessment unbiased?- Are innovation development options realistic?- Are stakeholder lists complete and engagement means realistic?- Is it enough to plan only once?IF NOT ALL ANSWERS YES, THEN A MORE STRUCTURE APPROACH IS BETTER!SCALING READINESS USING LES4RD!
