Thinking about strategy from the perspective of openCCS, for 2012.
Vision for openCCS
- Inform action and policy on CCS.
- High visibility and wide participation by academia, industry and think tanks/institutes.
Goals
- Wide participation
- High quality resources
Outcomes
To achieve the goal of wide participation:
- Participation should be easy.
- Participation should be social.
- The resource should create a sense that this is it is important and useful (mainly through actually being useful).
- Create a connection between when people contribute, and getting feedback from people they recognize (even by username). A sense that "people I know will be reading this."
- Build a community slowly and sustainably. (Note the community-building resources at The Pillar Summit, especially How Your Branded Community Can Succeed Where Others Fail; see also the links at Online communities.)
To achieve the goal of creating high quality resources:
- Engage the best, most knowledgeable people
- Engage a diverse range of knowledgeable people, such that gaps in knowledge by one group are covered by another
- Ensure the review process is prompt and effective.
