Creating an ambitious learning and leadership plan for Mozilla

Defining a more ambitious learning and leadership plan is one of MoFo’s main goals for 2016.

• We’ve just wrapped up the first phase of this work: defining the ‘why’ (universal web literacy) and the ‘what’ (leadership and advocacy) for this plan.
• We’re now starting phase two: defining how MoFo will engage in these two core strategies in 2016 and beyond.
• As discussed in Whistler, much of the ‘how’ is about looking at how existing activities improve and connect. Staff from across the org will be involved in figuring this out.
• Three working groups will help guide this process: leadership development, advocacy and impact. Participation is open to all. Everything you need is available on this wiki: mzl.la/learning
• Phase two runs from now to the Oct board meeting. Then phase 3 will dig into the nitty gritty of roadmapping and budgeting -- creating a final business plan.

Phase 2 Working Groups

As we move into Phase 2, we're further simplifying and integrating our core working groups. Each group will be responsible for a set of objectives, impact statements, partnerships and deliverables to be completed by the end of this phase. We'll need your full participation to make each group a success.

• Leadership Development -- More people teaching and advocating for web literacy
• Advocacy -- Shifting understanding and thinking about the web

These working groups will be supported by:

• Impact -- How we define, measure and maximize our impact

We will also continue focusing on partnership development efforts around women, girls and technology to inform our Mozilla Learning work, including a partnership with UN Women.

Moving from "Why" and "What" to "How"

• Why = universal web literacy
• What = advocacy and leadership development
• How = the planning work we're tackling now

We’re now moving to Phase 2 of the planning process: from "what" to the specifics of "how." The next key milestone is Aug 18. That’s when we’ll share our plan for Phase 2 more broadly with staff and community, and broaden public engagement in our planning through Mozilla Learning community calls and communications. The final milestone for Phase 2 will be our October 14 Board Meeting, where we'll present the results of our work. Phase 3 will then focus on the specifics of roadmapping and budgets.
