• Do you have a plan for increasing your impact?
• Do you know what lies beyond ‘mission and vision’?
• What is your organisation’s ultimate purpose?
Many organisations assume that the best way to increase their impact is to scale up – get bigger,
service more areas, reach more people.
But what if the answer lies in thinking differently, not thinking bigger?
Stop and think: what role do you want to play in the overall solution to the problem you’re tackling?
In this session, you’ll be introduced to the endgame theory first proposed in Stanford Social
Innovation Review.
The article’s co-author, U.S.-based social entrepreneur and impact
acceleration expert Alice Gugelev, will guide you to an understanding
of your organisation’s endgame, and how to steer your course towards
your ultimate purpose.

About Alice Gugelev
Endgame theory: a preview
What role will your not-for-profit organisation play
in the overall solution to the problem you set out to
tackle?
Endgame theory authors Alice Gugelev and Andrew
Stern propose six possible endgames:
• Sustained service: You keep on doing what you’ve
always done. This is the default endgame for many
not-for-profits – yet it’s not always the right one.
• Open source: You invest in research and
development, then share what works by serving as
a knowledge hub for other organisations.
• Replication: You demonstrate what works, then
persuade other not-for-profits to deliver it.
• Government adoption: You demonstrate what
works, then persuade the government to deliver it.
• Commercial adoption: You demonstrate what
works, then persuade private companies to
deliver it.

Enterprise Accelerator at the Global Development

Alice is also the co-founder and executive director
of the Muskoka Foundation and the “Do Good As
You Go” movement, and chief strategy officer and
investor for AppMakr, the world’s largest DIY mobile
app development platform.
Alice has worked with the Gates Foundation and the
World Bank; in the for-profit world, she spent the
earlier part of her career with Bain & Company and
Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi.
Alice is a graduate of the Stanford Japan Center. She
holds a degree in International Economics and East
Asian Studies from Columbia University and an MBA
from Harvard Business School.
• Mission achievement: You achieve your mission,
and the job is done, everywhere, for all time. This
only works if your mission is well defined and
plausibly achievable – for example, “To eradicate
malaria.”
