External champions who support and promote a scaling initiative play an integral role in the success of any scaling process. However, while awareness about the value of champions has grown, so too has confusion emerged about the different types of champions and what roles champions can, and cannot, play in practice. Drawing on the experiences of the KIX-ROSIE teams, this brief unpacks champions in scaling. The brief introduces a typology of champions and ways of working with them as it also shares examples of how scaling teams identify champions and manage common challenges to the engagement of champions.
