ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines a number of pathways to scale that may be travelled by innovators. It provides a synthesis of common ways of scaling impact. The result is a presentation of a typology of pathways to scale followed by a set of navigation approaches. The navigation approaches outline a means of planning and documenting decisions that may be faced as an innovation scales. Pathways to scale and navigation approaches can be considered complementary to existing means of managing for impact and scaling. Several navigation approaches reflect a practical response to the varying degrees of flexibility an innovator is willing to accept along their scaling pathway. With facilitation, promoters or champions of the innovation play a catalytic role in scaling impact. The scaling of research-informed tools or techniques which people seek out and use on their own can fall within this category. Individuals electing to adopt healthy eating habits is an additional example.
