More about the book
Despite significant investments of time and money, are we truly addressing the social and environmental challenges we face? A new generation is seeking meaningful purpose beyond profit. However, unlike businesses, few social initiatives have achieved substantial impact at scale. Inspired by modern innovation practices from The Lean Startup, Lean Impact focuses on achieving radically greater social good. Social change is more complex than developing an app; it demands deeper listening, care, and the involvement of various stakeholders. To create lasting change, solutions must resonate with beneficiaries, tackle root causes, and incorporate mechanisms for growth to meet the scale of need. This work presents bold ideas for achieving ambitious goals through customer insights, rapid experimentation, and a relentless focus on impact. Ann Mei Chang offers a unique viewpoint from her diverse experiences, including her role as a tech executive in Silicon Valley and as Chief Innovation Officer at USAID. The book is enriched with real stories from interviews with over 200 organizations globally. Whether you are part of a nonprofit, social enterprise, foundation, government agency, or simply contribute your time and resources, this guide is essential for maximizing social impact and achieving scale.
