Overview of the Scale-up Workshop
Overview of the 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.
What Success looks Like at the End of the Scale-Up Workshop
The Team will feel proud of what they have achieved and will feel acknowledged and honoured for the hard and creative work they did and for the impact they helped create. They will feel that, even though the past 100 days were exhausting, they would go through it again in a heartbeat.
Leadership stakeholders will feel proud of the 100-Day Team, and they will look back at the experience as liberating:
- “We do not have to figure out everything ourselves.”
- “We have a bigger role to play… We need to decide on a direction of travel and then pick the right team to explore the way forward.”
- “We trust that the Team will figure things out. We will stand back and support them as they do this.”

Key outputs
- Decision on steps the team will take, if any, to complete the 100-Day project, and support they need to compete these steps.
- Decisions on steps that are needed to ensure that the Team’s impact will be sustained.
- Clarity on the options for the way forward, including who needs to be involved.
Agenda
Share and Celebrate
This provides the Team with a platform to brag and showcase their achievements. They will be encouraged to do this in a fun and creative way. They will also share what they learned, which will set the stage for sessions during the rest of the Workshop.
Complete the Project
This agenda item could be skipped if the project is completed and does not require any loose ends to be tied. But if there is small leftover work to be done, the Team can present a plan for a “Final Dash”, and ask for support as needed from the Challenge Strategist.
Sustain the Gains
The Team will present recommended steps that they, or leadership stakeholders, need to take to increase the chances that the impact can be sustained beyond the 100 days. The Challenge Strategist will work with other leadership stakeholders to build some of these into the work programs of the relevant departments or organisations.
Map the Way Forward
The Team and the Challenge Strategist present initial ideas on the way forward. These include:
- Reset: Challenge the same or a modified 100-Day Team to go farther or faster, using the same focus of the current 100-Day Challenge.
- Build: Organise one or more 100-Day Challenges that have emerged as a natural next step from the current 100-Day Challenge.
- Scale: Organise multiple “Copycat 100-Day Challenges” in other districts or other areas.
