Eu e o Jonas tivemos a oportunidade de conhecer a Kira durante a Iberoconf no México durante a etapa de levantamento de dados e entrevistas.
Assistimos também a apresentação do resultado final do projeto em Berlim, foi muito bacana! Recomendo a todos darem uma olhada geral no material.

In spring 2013, Wikimedia Deutschland initiated a > structured assessment of the movement organisations’ needs, goals and > stories: the Chapters Dialogue. Nicole Ebber led the project and hired > Kira Krämer, who adapted the Design Thinking methodology to the > process. > > In the course of the project (August 2013-February 2014), 94 movement > representatives (volunteers and staff) from Chapters, the Wikimedia > Foundation as well as the Funds Dissemination Committee and the > Affiliations Committee were interviewed. > > The interviewees spoke about their understanding of roles and > relationships within the movement, of responsibilities that come with > being a Chapter or being the WMF. They described their goals and > stories, what support they need and who they think is in a position to > offer this support. > > The synthesis of all the interviews resulted in an overall picture of > the movement and a distillate of the most pressing issues. The > findings and insights cover these main areas, which have had a great > influence on the movement as it is today. > > Lack of empathy and the persistence of old narratives: All the > conflicts described in this report are based on causes that are deep > rooted and manifested in people’s perceptions about each other that > still persist today. Each party in the movement has its own needs and > tries to solve issues in its own interests, while lacking empathy for > other views, opinions, contexts and behaviour. > > Measuring success when exploring new territory: The movement lacks a > definition of what impact actually means to it, as all Wikimedia > activities can be described as exploring entirely new territory. > Chapters struggle with proving that they and their activities are > worth invested in while WMF has difficulty providing a clear movement > strategy. > > Organisational structures: Organisational structures have grown > organically without any official recommendation for or analysis of the > best organisational form to achieve impact. The lack of a shared > understanding about the Chapters’ role and contribution to the > movement causes severe insecurities and is fuelling conflicts and > misperceptions. > > Money-driven decisions: Creating a consensus about money, its > collection and responsible dissemination (donors’ trust!) is scarcely > possible. The Haifa trauma persistently blights the relationship > between WMF and the Chapters, fuelled by additional disagreement about > the new fundraising and grantmaking processes. > > The gap in leadership: Who should take the leadership role and what > should leadership in the Wikimedia movement look like? Adopting the > narrowed focus, the WMF clearly states that it does not see the > development of movement entities as their duty. Chapters on the other > hand expect the WMF to take a leading role in Chapters’ development, > while the WMF expects Chapters to be more proactive. > > None of these conflicts can be viewed in isolation, and no solution > can be developed without a thorough understanding and frank > conversations about the causes in the first place. We therefore > consider that it would be highly irresponsible to suggest solutions to > any of the described issues. Instead, we have distilled tough > questions from the insights that need to be addressed urgently and > answered in an open and comprehensive manner: > > 1. What do we as a movement want to achieve? Do we run a website or > foster free knowledge? Why are we doing the things we do, and what > for? > 2. How do we define impact when exploring new territory? And how do we > measure success? > 3. What is the role of the Wikimedia Foundation? > 4. How do we want to communicate with each other? How can we build the > necessary empathy and learn from each other? How can we overcome the > old narrative and perceptions? > 5. Where does the money come from and where should it go? Should money > be the limiting factor when striving for Free Knowledge? > 6. What movement framework is best suited to fulfil the Wikimedia mission? > > The way things are at present inhibits the movement from striving > effectively for Free Knowledge. Instead of using its full potential to > further its mission, it revolves around itself. The common mission is > at serious risk if the movement does not tackle the causes of its > problems. > > These tough questions can only be approached in a structured and > professional way, with dedication and commitment. There is no point in > tinkering with the symptoms and finding single-problem solutions. > > The Chapters Dialogue concludes with the recommendation to build upon > the insights and to initiate a sequel: the design of a framework for > the Wikimedia movement in which it can work strongly and effectively > towards its mission in a professional way, yet stay true to its > grassroots and maintain its diversity. > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines > wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org > <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/guidelineswikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org> > Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, > <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe> > > > > -- > Everton Zanella Alvarenga (also Tom) > Open Knowledge Brasil - Rede pelo Conhecimento Livre > http://br.okfn.org > > _______________________________________________ > WikimediaBR-l mailing list > WikimediaBR-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediabr-l > >
