The DiGi-SEII program is a unique initiative aimed at Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) organisations, namely associations but also the organisations that support them (incubators, accelerators, networks, etc.) that wish to strengthen their digital skills.
The program includes:
✔️ AI-assisted pre-assessment to design your learning path
✔️ 3 e-learning modules at your own pace
✔️ Online and in-person training tailored to your role
✔️ Mentoring, peer exchanges, and visits

A lasting collaboration to support impact organisations on their scaling strategy
For the past six years, ScaleChanger has been involved in the Antropia Essec’s Scale Up programme. Last week, Anne and Nicolas from our team led a day-and-a-half workshop on scaling strategies for the program’s winners.
The workshop’s objectives:
- To examine the long-term vision of the organizations and their readiness to scale up.
- To review their three-year strategy, the means to achieve their ambitions, and the major steps and decisions to be taken.
The workshop enabled the winners to:
- Take a step back and gain perspective to challenge their ambitions.
- Clarify the path forward: leaders know where to go and which scenarios to explore.
Next October, the ScaleChanger team will once again work with the winners on the business model.
👉 If you too would like to support your laureates in their scaling or business model challenges, please contact us.
