Mosaic Strategy: 5-year Plan Values (high is GOOD)LowMod.High BreadthX DepthX Adults (awareness and $)X Professional/personal balanceX Idealism/pragmatism balanceX Risks (high is BAD)LowMod.High Organizational responseX Access to staffX Demand for servicesX Financial executionX Bay Area siteX PROS: Increasing our impact Makes us more fundable Gives us organizational maturity Staff retention and satisfaction Builds on what we already do well CONS: May disappoint some who want rapid growth or intentional community Currently unstable funding – need to tackle this first and it is difficult Challenging to find the right people Organizational resistance to and inexperience with research and data Description: Growth based on stability. Prioritize strengthening the Core Mosaic model structurally and financially, including a stable, long-term home and development of replicable programs and services. Commit to testing and learning from replication models within the Bay Area for further expansion to other sites and broader reach. We aspire to reach at least 5x the number of current participants per year in 10 years through Mosaic-branded programs (i.e., what we can control.) Implications: We need to prioritize and resource efforts to create and implement a robust financial plan, find a stable site, to strengthen the Core, and define a path for developing expansion efforts. We need additional role clarity for Board, committees and staff, and will collect and analyze data to support stabilization and expansion. We will NOT grow without first stabilizing what we already have. We will not pursue site ownership or development of an intentional community in this time frame. We will not create any new programs or services without clear cost/benefit analysis.

Defining a “winning” strategy Advances Mosaic’s Vision and Mission Meets our Guidance criteria Addresses each Focus question Comes out “high” on some or most of our Value criteria Comes out “low” on some or most of our Risk criteria What else?
