Week 12 – Preparing the team for the Scale-up Workshop

Week 12

Preparing the Team for the Scale-up Workshop

The Scale-Up workshop is 3 weeks away. Time to begin working with the team so they are ready for it. In particular, their “show and tell” presentation will take some time to prepare. The idea is to make this creative, engaging, and fun. Not a typical slide show.  

Schedule a 90 minute meeting with the team to help them prepare for the Scale-up Workshop. Several leaders will be in attendance at the Workshop, and the team will use the Scale-up Workshop to help these leaders make decisions and commitments that will help amplify the work of the team.

  2. Complete the Project
    • If needed, prepare a work plan with tasks to be done in the coming weeks to tie up loose ends on the project.
  3. Sustain the Gains
    • Prepare recommended actions that leaders can commit to, that would increase the odds that the impact achieved in the past 100 days would be sustained.
  4. Map the Way Forward
    • Prepare a recommendation to leader on whether to “reset” (continue to work on the same focus area in the next 100 days), “build” (shift 100-Day Challenge work to a related focus area), or “scale” (replicate this 100-Day Challenge in multiple locations).
  5. Reflect and Close-out”
