How to scale social innovations: growing an organisation to deliver

An evening event with lightning talks and discussion for social innovators, charity leaders and funders, held in person and online, about growing an organisation so its idea can deliver real-world impact. It is the final event in a series run by Nesta, a research and innovation foundation, and chaired by its director of policy and government partnerships, Joe Owen. Speakers sharing practical lessons from scaling their own organisations include Sir Tim Smit, co-founder of the Eden Project; Becky Lane, co-founder of Furbnow; Philip Colligan, chief executive of the Raspberry Pi Foundation; and Tessa Clarke, co-founder of Olio. Topics cover building staff expertise and leadership, securing funding and the right financial model, and strengthening internal systems to sustain impact.
