Leadership for System Change:

Delivering Social Impact at Scale

Since 2017, SICI has been delivering the custom-designed program – “Leadership for System Change: Delivering Social Impact at Scale” – for awardees of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship. Led by SICI Founder and Faculty Chair Julie Battilana, this eight-day program works with participants as they seek to scale their social impact beyond its current scope and influence broader systems beyond their direct constituents, beneficiaries, or customers.

This program aims to develop participants’ abilities to: 

  • Identify pathways to scaling their impact
  • Position their work within a larger system of change
  • Develop leadership skills for scaling and system change

The program is guided by SICI’s social innovation organizing framework. Read more about our approach. 

Past participants represent social innovation efforts unfolding globally and across diverse industries: education, health, human and social services, arts and culture, environment, and community development.
