Day 100 – Scale-up Workshop
Day 100
Scale-up Workshop
The Scale-Up Workshop marks the end of the 100-Day race. It is an opportunity for the Team to show case its achievements, share what it has learned, and offer its thoughts and recommendations on the way forward – sustaining and scaling the impact.
Your participation in the Workshop is critical. Hopefully, other leadership stakeholders will also participate. This will set the stage for the follow up work that you take the lead on. As you can see in the 100-Day Challenge relay race image, at the end of the Workshop, the Team Coach will pass the baton over to you so you cal lead the follow up work.
Key Tasks During the Workshop
During the first part of the agenda, where the 100-Day Team is sharing highlights of what they achieved, it would be helpful to ask questions that give the team additional opportunities to brag about their achievements. This is especially important if there will be other leaders in the room who may be less familiar with the work of the team.
During the part of the workshop where the team is sharing its sustainability recommendations, you need to be ready to play an active role and to contribute your own ideas. In fact, you can facilitate this part of the discussion – which will signal ownership of the follow-up to this. Some of these recommendations may require other leadership stakeholders to make commitments for follow-up actions. This is the time for you to ask them if they are willing and able to commit to these.
During the part of the workshop on Mapping the Way Forward, you need to take the lead, outlining some options and getting feedback on these from the leadership stakeholders in the room. You can present these options formally on slides, or you can organise a panel that includes the Team Leader, Team Coach, and yourself to talk about these, and then open the floor for feedback and ideas from others in the workshop. The key for this session is to have done some preparatory work the week prior with the Team Leader and Team Coach.
During the Close-Out session, you will be called upon to say a few words. Please be ready to express appreciation to the Team and the Coach and the leadership stakeholders, and also to “accept the baton” from the Team Leader. Part of this will be to let other leadership stakeholders know that you will reach out to them in the coming weeks to pin down precisely where to go next, and to decide who will provide strategic guidance and support on each of the areas you will focus on.
