This article was written for the Stanford Social Innovation Review on work I did when working for Ashoka’s Globalizer program. It was based on a study we did to measure the results of the program.
The study helped us distill a set of five key principles for scaling social innovation. The Ashoka Globalizer Fellows provided these insights, and they are the proverbial early warning signals—these principles represent the direction in which nonprofits, social businesses, and the investors that fuel them will eventually head.
