By the late spring of 2019, it was clear to Samuel Kalika, Founder of Critical Concrete (CC), a sustainable architecture social enterprise in Porto, Portugal, that his organization needed to pivot. While he was not exactly clear on what strategy would help CC more reliably and consistently deliver on its social mission, Kalika was convinced that the organization's current focus on the Critical Concrete Summer School (CCSS) was not financially sustainable for much longer. The staff was spending an entire year in its planning and coordination, and the financial situation seemed inconsistent and fragile, among other challenges. He had to quickly decide on how to move forward and redirect their efforts. The 2019 CCSS would conclude in only three months, and after that, there was nothing scheduled, which also meant no funds were coming in beyond that point. CC needed to pivot, but Kalika had to figure out what to do next. Considering the mix of resources and challenges in the picture, what could he do to pivot the organization?

This social entrepreneurship case, anchored in 2018, portrays Go Baby Go's (GBG) founder Cole Galloway, Ph.D., debating how to scale GBG's impact given the numerous resource constraints. GBG was a project started by Galloway, a full professor at the University of Delaware. Galloway, a top physical therapy scholar, began to modify ride-on toy cars for his research on infants and mobility and serendipitously discovered that he was fulfilling an unmet need that could positively impact the development of hundreds of thousands of children and their families. What started with a simple idea - adapting ride-on toy cars turned into an international advocacy movement for infants and children with significant mobility issues. After eight years of organic growth with limited resources, Galloway was trying to figure out how to scale GBG's impact. The case describes Galloway's background, his journey as an "accidental" social entrepreneur, and his unique approach to scaling GBG. Through Galloway's experience, students will be able to discern social entrepreneurs' characteristics and analyze existing social enterprise growth strategies.
