John A List – The Voltage Effect: How to Make Great Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale

“Scale” In the startup world, scale has become a buzzword. Scale is not about increasing market share or accumulating more users. It’s about whether an idea that takes hold in a small group can do the same in a much larger one – whether you’re growing a small business, rolling out a diversity and inclusion program, or delivering billions of doses of a vaccine.

Translating an idea into widespread impact, says University of Chicago economist John A. List, depends on one thing only: whether it can achieve “high voltage” – The ability to replicate at scale.

In The Voltage Effect, List He explains how scalable ideas have a common set or attributes. However, any number of attributes could make an idea unscalable. Drawing on his original research, as well as fascinating examples from the realms of business, policymaking, education, and public health, he identifies five measurable vital signs that a scalable idea must possess, and offers proven strategies for avoiding voltage drops and engineering voltage gains. You’ll learn:

1. Jamie Oliver, celebrity chef and restaurateur, expanded his restaurant empire by focusing exclusively on It is scalable “ingredients” (until it fell because talent doesn’t scale)
2. What is the reason for this failure? False positives Reagan’s rise to prominence was early.-Era drug-Prevention program backfires at large
3. What could governments do to provide more services for more people if they were more focused? The following are the Last Dollar spent
4. How to leverage one education centre Positive spillovers To reduce the achievement gap in the whole community
5. Why? You need the right incentives This can be applied at large scale to increase voter turnout, clean energy use, encourage patients and others to take their prescribed medications consistently, and many other benefits.
