Nomenclature note: Having honed in on two problems from the original eight, we can now refer to a Problem 1 and Problem 2:
Problem 1. Our core capabilities, infrastructures, and workflows are not optimized for emerging platforms, experiences, and communities
and
Problem 2. When users access content through third parties we:
* Can’t measure user value
* Don’t get contributors or donors
* Can’t ensure content is displayed in line with our values
15-September through 17-September
Frame a choice for Problem 2 (asynchronous, via etherpad) [DONE]
In our strategy meeting, we framed a choice for Problem 1. We’ll want to do the same for Problem 2. Let’s try to do this asynchronously. Guidelines and instructions are on etherpad: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Reading_Problem_2_Choices
Post-Sep 17 (with group, via email + etherpad) [IN PROGRESS]
* Group similar Problem 2 choices together
* Reframe/rephrase choice groups as needed.
* Decide which choices we want to run with
16-September
Finalize Possibilities to Test for Problem 1 (meeting) [DONE]
18-September through 22-September
Generate Possibilities (where to play, how to win) for Problem 2 Choices (asynchronous, etherpad TBA)
By this point we should have a choice framed for Problem 2. The next step is to brainstorm Strategic Possibilities for this problem. Etherpad with guidelines for possibilities TBA. Finish by COB Sep 22.
23-September
Finalize Possibilities to Test for Problem 2 (meeting, see calendar invite)
16-September through 29-September
Create strategy cascades for most promising Possibilities, Identify conditions and barriers, and design tests (asynchronous, etherpad TBA). [IN PROGRESS]
//Moushira: During this time we can also socialize internally. Is it possibly that Toby organizes a session in collab space to walk others through what we have done, making it clear that we are making ourselves familiar with the new methodology? The winning part here is to make it clear that there is always room for others to pitch in their ideas, if they follow the same way of thinking. I would rather we socialize internally and get questions asked, before we move to a broader audience. This is a great exercise to see how far clear are we able to communicate our thoughts on the process that we are learning ourselves. Thanks!
