The Open Preservation Foundation (OPF) has published its new strategy, setting out the long-term direction for the organisation. After having shared this privately with our members for the past six months, we are now ready to share this work with the wider community.
The strategy establishes the OPF’s position in the digital preservation landscape and guides the tasks, tools, and projects that the Foundation will address.
Our mission at the Open Preservation Foundation is defined by a commitment to our core values, guiding how the organisation will operate. Our strategy emphasises supporting and expanding our current membership, enhancing our tools, and ensuring sustainability in the digital preservation sector. It will be complemented by a complimentary action plan and a marketing strategy to facilitate the execution of our strategic vision.
‘We are excited to welcome this strategy as part of a new chapter for the Foundation’, explains Julie Allen, the Executive Director of the OPF at the time of the strategy’s creation. ‘The strategic plan has been curated by the Board of Directors following feedback from membership during our most recent Advisory Group and Annual General Meeting. We are grateful for the outcomes, and believe it underpins the wider OPF vision to provide shared solutions for effective and efficient digital preservation’.
