The Scale Institute recognises and honours the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work
Our Mission
Through experiential learning activities, participants work on existing challenges to create untold future opportunities. Experiential learning delivers ‘just-in-time’ training to immediately apply skills relating to design, strategy and innovation of a business venture.
The Scale Institute supports organisations by:
Fostering entrepreneurial leadership capability
Aligning innovation to a team's culture and working environment
Providing foundational skill building programs that build entrepreneurial thinking
Customising applied learning programs
Destination: Innovation
Any business survives and thrives through innovation and adaptation. Traditionally, business leaders have turned to the management consulting industry, which has been the catalyst for much of the business and product innovation growth. However, action on this strategy gets sidelined for business as usual priorities.
21st Century thinking demand a just-in-time mode of learning and implementation. The solution is inculcating learning and innovation into a dynamic just- in-time organisational culture.
Current and future job makers are required to think differently. These skills will help to drive transformational growth in individual careers, organisations and wider communities.
What we do
Our value is bringing The Scale Institute’s ‘startup’ mindset, commercial experience, consulting rigor, and general business acumen to build new opportunities. The Scale Institute as an authentic Innovation agency can assist with any of the following:
Entrepreneurial Strategy Development
The Scale Institute is committed in delivering on the long term vision of organisations; that encompasses entrepreneurial leadership. The Scale Institute sees success, by co-designing the organisational strategy with the executive leadership teams. This strategic decision making complements the design, curation and delivery of learning as a core pillar in an organisation’s business plan
Professional Development
The Scale Institute builds on the contemporary teaching of entrepreneurial education. Through experiential 'just-in-time' learning activities, entrepreneurial participants work on existing challenges to create untold future opportunities. This experience bridges the knowledge to action gap that immediately applies skills relating to design, strategy and innovation of a business venture.
Organisational Design
The Scale Institute’s Innovation Framework is a holistic guide to guide organisations to develop and purposeful concepts for new products, services, processes, programs and strategies. The framework follows a structured Design-Led Innovation approach, giving our partners confidence and a clear roadmap on starting points, steps and milestones. It turns the innovation process into a science, where problems can be broken down to its components and effectively measured, avoiding the frustration usually associated with ‘innovation’.
Innovation Product Management
The Scale Institute will provide a dedicated senior executive for the duration of the consultancy agreement to manage the innovation development process. We have a genuine interest in identifying and building innovation academies, new technology enabled businesses, with a focus on the learning experience.
Staff Secondment
Embedding Innovation requires more than just training and workshops. The Scale Institute is committed to seeing the knowledge to action gap reduced. It is a recommendation to have existing team members trained as innovation coaches and learning design consultants for the duration of the consultancy. Being a participant in the innovation process may seem fun and easy, however, organisations need to be aware that the role is much more involved.
Professional Development
Our immersive workshops provide a different kind of learning by introducing an entrepreneurial toolkit. We "set the scene" for your community to identify and define current problems, unlock blind-spots in their current business operations and drive growth opportunities for their business.
Participants walk away with a 'ready to trial' problem-based approach to refine and implement in their business. Watch the video below for more information.
