Annual Strategy
This page is for collecting information leading to a year-ahead "what do we want to accomplish for the space" plan. It also documents what has been decided and accomplished ... so far.
Calendar Year 2012
A small group met on 9 Sept 2011 to talk about what we want to do in 2012 ... or sooner. The first thing we did was brainstorm the issues that we need to address. There were three key groups of issues:
(note that these are just the raw ideas - more analysis follows)
Issues
Group A: (12 priority points)
- Get equipment working
Group B: (8 priority points)
- Retain people during cold months
- Drama - not getting along
- Getting more artists, minorities, kids, and women.
Group C: (10 priority points)
- People working on projects
- More group projects and collaboration
- Wheel truing stand
- Bike shop revamp
- Make bread
Root causes
For each of these groups, we tried to understand the root causes. Here are the thoughts:
Group A: Get Equipment Working
- Money
- Time
- Ownership confusion
- Lack of updates / communication
- Don't want / care about it
Group B: People
- Classes
- Better lighting
- Cleaning / housekeeping
- Lack of activities
- Weather - hard to get here
- Dark location (safety?)
Group C: Projects
- Tool chains not complete
- Lack of inspiration / communication
- Intimidated by inexperience and people
- Lack of clean work areas
- Lack of follow-through on rules
- Discouraging surroundings
