Dear all
Over the past few months I have been leading the process of reviewing and
refreshing Wikimedia UK's strategic framework, and developing a new
business plan for 2016 - 19. The draft strategic framework sets out a new
vision for the charity and I would love to hear from volunteers, members
and other stakeholders about whether you support the proposed direction of
travel. The process so far has involved a board away day in December, a
planning session with the staff team, and a review of the draft documents
at the board meeting in March. Community consultation on the strategic
framework forms an important part of this process and will run until the
end of this month.

The planned outputs from the strategic planning process will be a clear,
concise strategic framework for the period 2016 to 2019, which outlines our
vision, mission, values, planned outcomes, strategic goals and objectives
and major programme strands, plus a three year business plan which puts the
strategy in context, articulating the external context and drivers, planned
priorities and programmes for the three year period and internal resources
including staffing and funding.
When considering the draft strategic framework, I would be particularly
keen for you to bear these questions in mind - although please don't feel
that you have to answer all (or indeed any) of them:
1. Do you agree with the overall strategic framework proposed? If not,
why/what changes would you like to suggest?
2. Is there anything missing?
3. How should WMUK prioritise activities?
4. How can we work with you on delivering the strategy?
You can respond to this consultation by *Monday 30th May 2016 *by adding
your thoughts to the talk page or by sending an email to me on

With best wishes and many thanks
Lucy
