What does Scale Facilitation®
mean to you?
"Scale Facilitation® offers a unique platform that supports the full innovation life-cycle from structural ideation, refinement & development, commercialization, and growth. This unique model is like having a nuclear reactor powering the ideas of researchers and innovators. In particular, the platform and aggregation of support infrastructure allows all key stakeholders to focus on their strengths; in essence, researchers can develop structural innovation, the commercial teams can support business model development, the scale operators that glue everyone together can coordinate and support the execution. Furthermore, the principle of empowering and recognizing the teams that develop out the ideas with the right incentive structures ensures that the core team that develops out the innovations is rewarded appropriately for their commitment."
