Internal:Strategic plan workspace

Status: Draft

This is an unstructured workspace to float ideas regarding the Strategic Plan, 2014–2019.

The strategic plan will be the guiding document for Wikimedia DC's activities for the next five years. From Wikipedia:

Generally, strategic planning deals with at least one of three key questions:

1. "What do we do?"
2. "For whom do we do it?"
3. "How do we excel?"

Our stakeholders

Those with an interest in Wikimedia DC's activities include:

• Wikimedia Foundation
• Wikimedia projects contributors and readers
• Participating institutions of knowledge
• Local event attendees and participants

Strategic goals

1. To promote participation by women on Wikimedia projects
2. To enable regional institutions to make their content freely available online
3. To facilitate nationwide participation through immersive technologies and asynchronous participation opportunities

Feel free to add to this list

Program objectives

What are our solutions to our strategic goals above? What programs will we carry out?

Communications objectives

Technological objectives

What are our goals with regards to the adoption and implementation of technology? How do we use technology to further our cause?

Organizational roles

How many people (volunteer, temporary contract, and full-time staff) do we need to carry out our objectives? What specifically will they do?

Workflows and processes

What are the exact processes by which our programs will be carried out? What can we do to make it as easy as possible?

Measures of success

How do we measure the success of our programs? What tools (surveys, Wiki Metrics, etc.) can we use to measure success?

Organizational capacity

What is our current capacity for carrying out our goals? How do we need to improve?
