One Page Business Plan

Vision

We see it happening. A universal shift in thought, feeling, and action that opens up new possibilities for being together in a world that works for everyone. We see people treating themselves and one another increasingly as the miracles of light and life they are. The Virginia Satir international community is making unprecedented contributions to this shift.

Mission

To further the creation of healthy and just relationships with self and others based on the teachings of Virginia Satir.

Strategies

(proposed by Emmanuel, Becky and myself) Raising funds for VSGN and a Global scholarship fund, while distributing Satir messages world-wide, by making new Satir posters using beautiful pictures of nature and art, and attractive quotes by Virginia, translated in various languages.
Use Pull marketing, not push marketing.
Use Agile development for such soft wares as our "people organisation" and posters.
Selling print resolution posters through a variety of channels, like In Real Life (work)shops and on the other end of that scale, also in Virtual (work)shops. A webshop has been announced to appear "soon" on all Ning sites as an additional feature - where if we choose to use that too, we pay a fee, or a small percentage - just like we would when selling through AllPosters. With some channels, we can negotiate.
Using Creative Commons licenses for internet resolution versions that, by our license description, are supposed to link to an on-line webshop where print versions are sold.
It has got to be fun! So we intend to use Temperature Reading and (thumbs up/sideways/down) consensus based collaboration in the "team" (as practiced in the camps), perhaps also using the chatbox on the Ning site (if all participating in the project feel safe enough with that), and improve our steering underway.

Objectives in the next 100 days

Negotiate the "financial pie" with parties like Celestial Arts and VSGN who both hold copyrights.
Receive first requests from people wanting to buy posters with which quotes in their (work)shops (that pull marketing thing ;-)
Serve first three requests
Temperature reading for first attempt at project and individual steering (boink!auch!!)

Action plan until jan 1, 2009

Contact Celestial Arts
Contact VSGN - Becky and Sherry (done)
Build a Satir Posters project group on the ning site and invite people (done)
Create first posters.
Play Perfection game.
Explore AllPosters sales channel
Set up the necessary web payment accounts
Track ning webshop development

So now we are looking for web payment wizards (or aspiring to be), a treasurer, more artists, translators, a congruent negotiator(s), and requests and/or suggestions for specific quotes fitting the VSGN vision and mission ... and feedback on and additions on this One Page Business Plan of course. You name it, we need it!

Comment by Becky Winant on September 25, 2008 at 2:57am: Isn't art a "proper chaotic process"?

(yes!)

Comment by Nynke Etk Fokma on September 25, 2008 at 8:26pm: Let's surf some chaos and make it graceful and artful!

Comment by Becky Winant on October 7, 2008 at 4:48am: Love the surfing metaphor - in the moment - feeling the energy and flow.
Perfect!!

Comment by Sharon Loeschen on October 7, 2008 at 4:49pm: Hi all,
I wrote a book of Virginia's sayings that might be of help. I can submit the sayings that might be used.

Comment by Grace Yung on October 7, 2008 at 6:10pm: I am learning to surf Chaos: ... I can contribute some photos... some of Virginia's sayings that I collected from the archive at UCSB... their Chinese translation... may also contribute to create, print some posters for distribution...

Comment by Nynke Etk Fokma on October 7, 2008 at 11:32pm: Grace, that would be excellent. I am trying to figure out what the requirements of the graphics are for making them into posters. You happen to know more about that? I bet the formats are different in different contexts too ... like metric or ...

Comment by Grace Yung on October 8, 2008 at 2:10am: I don't know anything about graphics, but I have good supports here that I had counted on in the past... I just give them the idea, the relevant photo and lyrics... they will design, suggest what is best... and... I experienced that entrusting myself to somebody's support is very enriching...
