Perform Action Plan 2

INTRODUCTION

As outlined in PerformActionPlan, the action plan points we reached were considered in closer detail and condensed down to a manageable shortlist. These are the action which were thought we could manage to implement in the short to medium term. This shortlist is set out below.

Benchmarking

• Clearer formulation of strategic planning on the following basis: 3 months (short term), 1 year (medium term) and 5 years (long term). See http://www.bristolwireless.net/admin/index.php/BigQuestions
• Set target of employing 2 full-time equivalent staff by the end of 2006.

Press/Marketing

• Appoint a press officer.
• Develop press and marketing strategy, plus press pack.

Product development

• More formal updates from project managers/leaders. Use Pete Ferne's template.
• Establish targets for training, refurbished PCs, APs, network coverage and Linux migration. see http://www.bristolwireless.net/admin/index.php/BigQuestions
• Clearer processes for propagating ideas.

Roles/Definitions

• Introduce support structure for people with responsibility.
• Roles and responsibilities need defining for all areas.
• More documentation.

Volunteer management

• Ensure suitable training is given to established volunteers.

Notes

1. Apologies for the lateness of this page as I've only just rediscovered my notes; I did ask someone else to write it up after the last meeting!
2. We should be having a follow-up with PERform guru Katy Harkavy some time in the near future.
