Impact Scaling Strategy
Introduction
We are currently transitioning from vision to instituttion by recruiting as shown in the Organizational Scaling Strategy - Scaling_Strategy:_Organization. Our vision is to open-franchise our operations via an immersion training program for Distributive Entrepreneurs.
It took MacDonalds about 20 years to scale to 5000 branches from start-up. We are aiming to match this rate for startup of open OSE Incubators and OSE Campuses by achieving about 3000 branches in 12 years. An OSE Incubator is a training facility for training the distributive entrepreneurs - those who will train others to replicate further Incubators. We intend to, first, create 144 Incubators - and these incubators will train entrepreneurs who then build open source ecology in their respective communities. The distinction between Incubator and Campus is that the explicit role of the Incubator is to train distributive entrepreneurs - while the role of the Campus is to engage in community economic development, without the explicit role of training distributive entrepreneurs.
OSE Incubator
We intend to spend 2016 creating a curriculum for a 2-year replication training immersion program for social entrepreneurs - and specifically, for OSE Distributive Entreprise Fellows. We intend to start the first class of Fellows in 2017, with 12 graduates by 2019. During the course of their immersion curriculum, Fellows will participate in production runs and capture their productive value as capitalization assistance for their future startup. Upon graduation, these Fellows will work closely with OSE International to set up 12 Incubators by 2020, and 144 worldwide by 2023. This includes:
- Recruiting Incubator staff
- Building Incubator infrastructure with the Staff, with capitalization assistance of $100-150k as above ($80k/month net production model from OSE Microfactory)
- Recruiting a class of 12 further Fellows
The established Incubators will work closely with the Fellows to reach the 144 Incubator milestone. Upon these being established, the function of the Incubators will shift from training OSE Distributive Eneterprise Fellows to OSE Fellows. The distinction is that the latter are agents of open source economic development in their communities, as opposed to trainers of new Fellows.
OSE Campus
An OSE Campus is defined an a land-based, autonomous entity with a 4000 sq ft workshop which clears approximately $1M of value generation per year and serves as a economic engine and nonprofit hub within a surrounding economy. OSE Incubators train OSE Fellows - the startup entrepreneurs who build the OSE Campus.
