Creating an ambitious leadership and advocacy plan

Defining a more ambitious learning, leadership and advocacy plan was one of the Mozilla Foundation’s main goals for 2015.

We have now completed version 0.8 of this plan.

December 2015 update

In October we set out of a for the next phase of Mozilla Foundation’s work: fuel the movement that is building the next wave of open into the digital world. Since then, we’ve been digging into the first layer ‘how do we do this?’ detail. We’ve been asking things like:

• What issues do we want to focus on first?
• How do we connect leaders and rally citizens to build momentum?
• How does this movement building work fit into Mozilla’s overall strategy?

We’ve drafted a MoFo 2020 Strategy document to answer to these questions, which we're posting here for comment and feedback in slide version and long form written version.

While this builds on our past work, it is worth noting that there are some important differences from the initial thinking we had earlier in the year. We started out talking about a ‘Mozilla Academy’ or ‘Mozilla Learning’. And we had universal web literacy as our top line social impact goal. Along the way, we realized that web literacy is one important area where our movement building work can impact the world — but that there are other issues where we want and need to have impact as well. The focus on a rolling agenda setting model in the current strategy reflects that realization.

Looking for your comments and feedback

As you’ll see if you look at the planning documents, we are considering the current work as version 0.8. That means that the broad framework is complete and fixed. The next phase will involve a) engagement with our community and partners re: how this framework can provide the most value and b) initial roll out of key parts of the plan to test our thinking by doing. Plans to do this in the first half of 2016 are detailed in the documents.

At this stage, we really want reactions to this next level of detail. What seems compelling? What doesn’t? Where are there connections to the broader movement or to other parts of Mozilla that we’re not making yet? And, most important, are there places that you want to get involved?
