Grow your start-up into a global influence with real-world impact
Scaling Global Change provides social entrepreneurs with the strong
organizational foundation they need to change the world. Through the
story of Room to Read, one of the fastest-growing nonprofits in the last
18 years, this book features clear, real-world lessons for growing a
non-profit or social enterprise, with special insight into girls'
education and literacy programming in lower-income countries. By
outlining theories of program, operational, and system-level change, the
discussion delves into the meat of the entrepreneurial spirit and
applies it directly to everyday strategic decisions.
The book begins with an overview of essential communication, vision, and
execution fundamentals, and then dives into a discussion of metrics,
monitoring, planning, leadership, and more. Clear guidance on internal
operations, fundraising, team building, management, and other central
topics provides a roadmap for new and experienced leaders, while further
exploration of influence, strategy, and government funding relates the
wisdom of experience from the perspective of a successful organization.
