Part 1a

Review the two documents uploaded: Data Mining 1.0 and 2.0.  Frame the required questions for collective review on our meeting. Print the material and bring to class. If schedule permits, start with 1-2 respondents for the initial interview. All questions must be the same for all interviewees. Let's continue discussion on how the responses were clustered together and rephrase the questions as needed.

Part 1b

For the initial preparation of the MIU DMM Foundation Program's overview; review the following details/components.

1. Initial seed money: $250k (only $125K can be spent on the first year).

2. Timeline of budget: 3 years

3. Generated budget for continuous operations: To be determined by you, preferably $200 each year or more for the reasonable costing of each project.

4. Number of Staff: Minimum of 3 persons (One Founding Director, One Field Worker and One Contractual Staff)

5. Location: Locally-based with national or international affiliations. (I highly recommend local entities, not the size of Goodwill).

6. Operations: The expected project outcome is your programmatic plan. See components below of a Project Model Canvas.

· Key operations (to include mission, objectives, beneficiaries, strategic directions)

· Key partners (local from the city or state; any local policies affecting organizational connections)

· Key resources (seed money facilitation, new funding)

· Cost structure (operational budget and monthly expenditures)

· Beneficiary relationships / information dissemination (media, posters, radio, flyers, etc.)

· Value propositions (mission, goals, projects)

· Channels (network, marketing strategies, identifying beneficiaries of the project)

· Revenue systems (generated income to sustain continuity of the program)

I am not expecting the project to be in its final form for presentation. I expect a working model for discussion purposes. Minimum of ten slides for proposal review.
