1 | Openscapes Theory of Change | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | Outcomes are measurable and are the result of actions we do, towards longer impact | |||||||||
3 | Short term outcomes | Medium term outcomes | Long term outcomes | Long term impact | ||||||
4 | (1-3 years) | (3-5 years) | (5+ years) | |||||||
5 | tooling | Incorporate new tools and workflows for data management/ analysis and remote collaboration | Teams identify and address shared needs, finding opportunities to upskill and co-create (data repos, Carpentries, etc) | Ask new questions | Engage w/ domain-specific tools & workflows | Engage with and feel included in ODS community | Robust, resilient data-driven analyses & research (efficient, reproducible, transparent, collaborative) | New questions answered | Robust, inclusive, and enduring science- and data-driven solutions to global & time-sensitive challenges | |
6 | practices | Individuals think of their science as collaborative with mindset of Future You & Future Us | Increased trust, inclusion, belonging within teams // & cohorts, communities | Feel identity with the Openscapes community (build inclusive communities) | Champion Openscapes practices in home domains/ communities | Practice effective remote collaboration (deliberate inclusion, google docing, software) | Shifting norms within individuals/teams towards openness, inclusion, empathy, kindness | Morale and belonging is greater; work-life balance/integration | ||
7 | mindset / leadership | Develop leadership and mentorship skills (horizontal and vertical) | Strengthened team mindset & reduced lonely struggles through normalizing talking about analysis (prioritize, creating space) | Folks become Openscapes mentors and champions | See the link between inclusion and open practices and actively fight racism and discrimination | Continue learning: join and create local coding clubs/ chapters; engage in global online communities | Shifting mindsets towards reuse/remixing existing resources rather than starting from scratch | Diverse collaborations formed and sustained | ||
8 | structure | Diverse scientists with ODS skills are in high demand | Teams have strategies and norms to build resilience & streamline onboarding | New perspectives drive Openscapes to iterate and lead with more diverse voices | increased investment in skillbuilding (time, $) | ODS community is richer and more diverse with new contributors | Shifting norms within science drive research funding, incentives, collaborations, partnerships | Science is enriched by being more diverse and inclusive | ||
9 | individuals | teams | Openscapes community | domain community | ODS community | science & application | ||||
