WiserEarth Spanish Localization Goals Oct – Dec 2009
- Establish a WiserEarth Spanish Editors group with at least 5 members by November 15th (different from WiserMexico group)
- Fabiola Benavente
- Angélica Morales
- Andrea Solan
- Mariela Manzano
- Gabriela Ortíz Monasterio
- Fernando Ausin
- Juan Manuel Ledón
- Julio Garduño.
¿Cuáles son los criterios para que alguien sea considerado editor en el grupo WiserEarth Spanish Editors? ¿Cuál es su rol y qué funciones tiene?
- Upload all Google documents translations into Wikipages on the “WiserEarth an Espanol” group by December 1st
- Draft and complete a fundraising proposal to be used with Partner Organization By December 1st
Sugiero que nos apoyemos en los Steps for Emergence para estructurar una propuesta de trabajo colaborativo que genere una situación de "ganar-ganar" entre ambas partes y cuyo planteamiento resulte sustentable, atractivo y útil, acorde con los principios, valores, objetivos y necesidades de la organización en cuestión.
En el planteamiento de esta propuesta, podemos enfocarnos en la estrategia para crear valor a través del proceso de conformación de sinergias (al interior y al exterior de la organización) y entonces demostrar (a partir de algunos ejemplos) cómo es que la plataforma de WiserEarth permite facilitar este proceso, particularmente en los pasos de visibilidad, vinculación y articulación. Por ejemplo, para el caso de Ashoka México este proceso de conformación de sinergias se puede aplicar entre los emprendedores sociales (al interior) y al vincular a los emprendedores sociales con la comunidad (al exterior).
- Complete Launchpad translations when final fields are uploaded by December 15th
- Establish a relationship with a Partner Organization (1) to lead the Wiser Mexico effort by December 15th
Por lo pronto, sugiero que comencemos a trabajar con el caso de Ashoka México y programar una primera reunión con Armando Laborde, a mediados de noviembre a más tardar.
- Double the number of organizations, events, and resources based in Latin America with specific areas of focus (2)(and in which the content is entered in Spanish) by December 15th (currently we have 264 organizations, 59 resources)
Una duda, ¿los "grupos de trabajo" y las "soluciones" también serán consideradas como entidades en esta cuenta?
- To have 2 affinity partners (3) using WiserEarth by December 15th, 2009
Pienso que para empezar, podemos contemplar a BNI (Business Network International) y la red de E + E (Emprendedores y Emprensarios vinculados con el Tec de Monterrey)
1. Mission overlaps with WiserEarth focusing on supporting nonprofit organizations with technical and nontechnical capacity building
2. Either maintains or has a central position in a large (500 org+) non-profit network with broad geographic representation in country/region. Is well respected in this network.
