The resources are designed to provide practical guidance for navigating the different stages of scaling, helping teams make informed decisions about partnerships, financing, organisational readiness, and implementation strategies.

A key feature of the framework is its focus on defining the roles and responsibilities of different actors involved in scaling. Successful scaling often requires collaboration between innovators, implementing organisations, governments, donors, private sector partners, and others. The framework helps clarify who is best positioned to lead different aspects of the process as an innovation grows.

The toolbox also places particular emphasis on the transition to scale phase. This stage, which bridges successful piloting and wider adoption, is often one of the most challenging parts of the scaling journey. Innovators frequently need to adapt their approach, establish new partnerships, secure sustainable financing, and prepare for larger-scale implementation.

The Scaling Framework and Toolbox, developed by Tinkr in collaboration with Innovation Norway, are designed as practical, easy-to-use resources that innovators can apply throughout their scaling journey.
