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?
With best wishes and many thanks
Lucy
