Process

  • Maturity models: AIDA, ISO TRAC, NDSA levels etc.
  • Cross-institutional readiness (different groups involved? e.g. IT, library divisions, vendors e.g. hosted services)
  • Digital preservation objectives as part of organisational mission?
  • Gap analysis - skills, functions, required change (also comparator analysis with peer institutions)
  • Stakeholder analysis - demand, expectations, priorities, awareness - what are they trying to achieve? How does DP support them?
    • Examples from different domains? Internal and external, senior management, users, depositors, etc.
  • Ownership, responsibility, accountability - roles and responsibilities, organisational structure, job specifications




Content

Describe the change you want to see in the organisation

  • where are we now
  • where do we want to be
  • timetable
    • staged progression over time? long-term vision and/or small term component of that?
    • continuous improvement?

Skills

  • staff time / availability
  • exemplar skills profiles from organisations (in-house might mean local tech skills, hosted might mean project management/procurement/SLAs)
  • training programmes - does this mean change to existing posts? or change to team workloads?

Infrastructure


Finances

  • financial preparedness - ability to fund the necessary infrastructure, staffing
  • sustainability of any funding allocated to DP
