How to scale social innovations: building a delivery network

Too many promising social innovations fail to reach their full potential. While early-stage pilots often show strong results, they can struggle to scale due to the absence of a robust and sustained delivery network. Understanding how to build, support and grow these networks is critical to achieving lasting impact. On Thursday 7 May, 18:00-19:15 BST, our expert panel, including Lord John Bird MBE, founder of The Big Issue, Bayo Adelaja MBE, founder and CEO of Do it Now Now, Sophie Tebbetts, CEO at FoodCycle and Shaan Jindal, mission manager for Nesta's sustainable future mission, joined Joe Owen to share insights from their experience of taking ideas to scale and building the networks needed to support them. We are a UK charity and our work is enabled by a financial endowment. Nesta is a registered charity in England and Wales 1144091 and Scotland SC042833.
