[foundation-board] Strategy Refinement

Tue Apr 21 07:27:53 UTC 2015

Hi All,

Attached is the final version of the strategy* refinement.* This is a
*refinement* of our existing strategy - it is not intended to add anything
or set off in a new direction.

Obviously, with the new CEO coming on board there may be new work on our
strategy but I anticipate this being in place for at least the next 9-12m.
I also note I have shared this info with the CEO candidate and he is happy
on all fronts.

Refining our strategy so that is more focused and provides clearer and
stronger guidance for activities in the near-term has been a priority and
one flagged by many different people.

The current draft aims to be tighter and more coherent providing:

   -

   A framework in which to situate many of our existing activities
   -

   Clear qualifying criteria for new projects than any one of us could
   apply - building greater shared, consistent, understanding of
   prioritization and enabling greater delegation around project selection and
   execution
   -

   A more disciplined and focused approach to funding

As is highlighted in the document, this strategy does not cover Open
Knowledge Services (though it does cover e.g. CKAN Association). Work on a
separate strategy document for Services is a near-term priority.

All the best

Rufus
