OKR https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U8C1XZcDpu1r4ciecbKEZ6vOL41nTinfqPCbZDhkAWc/edit#
- Goal 1: Hypha should secure more client projects
  - bl: Can we do what traditional infra providers do, but add a digital coaching component?
    - el: BBB setup + workshop facilitation
      - bl: e.g. “I need to facilitate an AGM but not on Zoom”
    - bl: who can Justin’s type of company not fully serve?
    - bl: e.g. uv’s project, eval tech needs -> build it -> host it
    - bl: new business realities for orgs, transition work
      - “infra provison + coaching”
      - we can set up your office, provision VMs, identity management, coach your staff
      - we need these on our website
    - bl: project portfolio needs to include member community project expertise (e.g. we participate in tomesh to do network planning, project management, BGP, deployent, etc.)
      - blog can have long form case studies
    - Y2 Key Action: Infrastructure to engage in marketing activities and development of public communication materials
    - Q3 Key Results:
      - 2 more interviews with industry folks to understand landscape
      - write a short summary about all our infra projects (client and community) relating to infra -> project portfolio
      - migrate our infra to production env and socialize it
  - bl: Can we build streamlined offerings on our website?
    - e.g. upfront work to develop workshop about digital tools, give workshop for a fee (templated and clearly listed on website)
    - templated ansibles https://subscribe.collective.tools/product/collective-tools-basic/ (maybe with digial coaching and handbook)
    - imagine our own office as someone else’s office and structure the ansibles that way (e.g. VPN)
    - understand our cost in hours and in $, to setup, maintain, and support
    - Y2 Key Action: Develop the automation resources and associated costs to acquire/maintain virtual office for client
    - Q3 Key Results:
      - suggest one streamlined/templated offering that involves infra work for the website
      - spec out the cost of one “virtual office package” from infra perspective
      - work with bizdev to think about an end-to-end offering that can be reproducible
- Goal 7: Hypha should develop our workflow and processes to support a culture of accountability with defined collaboration and decision-making techniques and tools
  - skipped
