Stages

The launch process is crucial for scaling innovations beyond pilots, involving readiness assessment, resource mobilization, stakeholder engagement, and operational planning for broader implementation.

Mainstreaming integrates new ideas and priorities into core institutional functions, embedding equity, sustainability, and innovation into everyday practice to achieve systemic impact and social innovation.

Movement building mobilizes people and resources to create large-scale social change by uniting diverse actors, fostering collective identity, and sustaining long-term efforts beyond single campaigns.

Pilot projects test new ideas on a small scale to reduce risk, generate evidence, and build community learning, serving as essential steps for social innovation and scalable solutions.

Policy reform updates laws and regulations to remove barriers, promote equity, and enable systemic social innovation, ensuring durable and scalable positive outcomes.

Problem discovery is essential for effective social innovation, ensuring solutions address real community challenges through research, engagement, and iteration, leading to more inclusive and sustainable impact.

Replication spreads proven innovations to new contexts, transforming localized success into broader social impact through adaptation, scalability, and evidence-based approaches.

Sector transformation reshapes industries to achieve equity, sustainability, and systemic impact by aligning actors, reforming structures, and scaling innovations for lasting social and environmental progress.

Sustainability at scale ensures innovations remain effective and resilient over time, enabling lasting impact through financial resilience, institutionalization, community ownership, and adaptive capacity in social innovation.

Systems change focuses on transforming root causes of social and environmental challenges by altering policies, relationships, and cultural norms to achieve long-term, systemic impact.
