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 priorities

  1. Promote women's participation in all aspects of the Wikimedia movement.
  2. Empower academic, cultural, and government institutions to contribute content and expertise to Wikimedia projects.
  3. Foster a welcoming and supportive social environment for local and remote Wikimedia volunteers.

Strategic goals

What are our specific and quantifiable goals for our strategic priorities?

Program objectives

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

  • Dozens of joint events, with dozens of institutional partners, over this long period. Multilingual editing events. Multi-project (e.g. Wikisource) events. Event joint with NYC chapter and perhaps others. -- Econterms (talk)

Communications objectives

How do we communicate our activities and objectives to the broader world? To whom do we communicate?

Technological objectives

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

  • maintain an advanced wiki site for the chapter ; adopt SSL for it ; hold hack-a-thons and offer local training; maybe build relations with government offices and individuals that work on computer technology. -- Econterms (talk) 15:40, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

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?
