While this is a great opportunity, scaling-up efforts usually require different skills and there is a dearth of scale-up models. I believe that the key contribution of the private sector is not money, but skills and expertise that would capitalize on business’ capacities in terms of systems thinking, scale and institutionalization. However, in my work with corporations I have found that that is not really what they are interested in contributing. They want to do what development did years ago (build a school) which is a laudable activity, but it not going to get us to address our issues in the near term. That requires new paradigms and approaches for all sectors to achieve desired results.

It is a true relief to hear acknowledgment of the possibility that the best might already be happening; it simply needs to be scaled. However, I agree that even the best programs in the world can fall apart under the pressure of national expansion. I’m eager to see what new superstars emerge under this new–and likely hot–spotlight.
