Hi all, The Wikimedia Foundation is pleased to announce that the final version of our Annual Plan is now available on Meta. [1] The Annual Plan was approved by the Board of Trustees on June 16th.
This Annual Plan continues to align the Foundation’s work to the strategic priorities set out in the interim strategic plan for 2016-18: reach, communities, and knowledge. We have introduced cross-departmental planning that will drive several large programs this year. We will be continuing to invest in our core work while investing in our future through the Movement Strategy work, the contribution to the endowment, and our work on Wikimedia’s identity and public awareness. From all of us here at the Foundation, we thank the FDC and everyone who asked questions and provided feedback on the Annual Plan throughout its development. This feedback continues to challenge us and push us to improve our planning, our programs, and the way that we share our work. We have incorporated some of your feedback directly into the plan, and know that there are other areas where we can continue to evolve and improve. In our work, in collaboration, and in the spirit of the mission, we look forward to the year ahead! Yours, Katherine [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2017-2018/Final On Fri, Apr 7, 2017 at 7:11 PM, Katherine Maher <kma...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'm pleased to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation's Annual Plan is now > on Meta.[1] > > This year we are continuing to adhere to the three strategic priorities > laid out in the 2016-2018 interim strategic plan: reach, communities, and > knowledge. > > Across the organization, we've introduced cross-departmental programs and > planning, with a holistic approach to program support that draws on our > community, technical, and other capacities.
