In this session, offered at the 2021 Summit on Improvement in Education, presenter Huggy Rao, professor at the graduate school of business at Stanford University, shares ideas about scaling change within organizations. The session builds on ideas and research from the book [Scaling Up Excellence]<\/a> that Prof. Rao co-authored with Robert Sutton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ultimate goal of improvement efforts is often to affect outcomes at scale. This is no easy task\u2014the scaling up of promising interventions is often where many of them fail. Educators are not alone in this challenge; scaling up is a core challenge across many industries. In this session, participants will learn from the efforts of others and discuss core obstacles to scaling and strategies for overcoming them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
