UPDATE - COMMENTS INVITED
@BoST have been working to develop the strategy framework further to better articulate and update the what/why/how of OSCEdays. What are its values, the outcomes (and thus outputs) it pursues and how does that relate to what activities we pursue and how we scale our impact. Several areas have been drafted which would be great to get feedback on from the wider community:
MISSION and VISION: previously agreed.
Mission Statement | Outcome
Vision Statement | Outcome
VALUES: see above post by Silvia and reply for feedback e.g. suggestions for values not captured.
CE DEFINITION: an extended discussion led to the agreement that OSCEdays need its own definition of Circular Economy as the currently prevalent views do not sufficiently incorporate social perspectives. A thread to discuss separately can be found here in order to finalise OSCEdays definition.
SYSTEM DIAGRAM: a crystallisation of the CE vision / approach that OSCEdays pursues is under development. Please contribute thoughts here in the separate thread.
OUTCOMES: Three broad areas were drafted - while the exact wording may need tweaking, there seemed to be broad agreement in the three areas:
- OSCE is embedded in society and is a mainstream and natural approach at all levels
- Collaboration between people and communities providing tools, methods, and processes to achieve the UN SDGs
- All product and processes use resources without undermining the functioning of the biosphere, crossing planetary boundaries and producing negative externalities.
OUTPUTS: a set of outputs was voted on per outcome area:
1 OSCE is embedded in society and is a mainstream and natural approach at all levels
- XXX applied / practical research reports/articles
- XXX products are certified OSCE/there are OSCE ISO standards
- XXX standards based on OSCE
- XXX examples of change by organisations in favour of OSCE
- There are a number of OSCE-leaders/activists
- Policy guide on OSCE
2 Collaboration between people and communities providing tools, methods, and processes to achieve the UN SDGs
- Significant amount of global manufacturing is through OSCE peer production
- OSCE creates meaningful, fair-paid and decent jobs
- XXX systematically documented freely available solutions
- Strong and Open Tools For Circular Collaboration
3 All product and processes use resources without undermining the functioning of the biosphere, crossing planetary boundaries and producing negative externalities.
- Support the development of Open Databases for sustainable/circular materials and how to use them properly
- XXX products that use resources within planetary capacities
- Proactively avoiding progress traps
