Strategy Markup Language & 501(c)(3) Nonprofits

Why Is This Idea Important?: There is much talk of the importance of strategic "alignment" but actual practice leaves much to be desired. Aside from the Constitution, laws, and regulations, perhaps nothing is as important and relevant to government service than helping citizens (and potential partners in the private sector) to understand what agencies are trying to DO (i.e., their strategic goals and objectives) -- without requiring them to know anything other than what they themeselves (the citizens) need or want to do. Use of the StratML standard will enable realization of such a vision.

Use AIIM's emerging Srategy Markup Language (StratML) to enable potential peformance partners to more easily discover and identify each other based upon common missions, visions, values, goals, objectives, and stakeholders. It would be especially appropriate to enable nonprofit, public service organizations performing quasi-governmental functions to post their strategic plans on their own Web sites in StratML format and thereby be absolved of having to supply the same data redundantly to IRS to qualify for 501(c)(3) status. Use of StratML would also enable .gov agencies to comply with paragraph 202(b)(4) of the eGov Act, which requires agencies to "... link their performance goals ... to key groups, including citizens, businesses, and other governments ..."

    StratML is key to finding organizations with strategic plans' commonalities, both within and outside of the Government. StratML can also be a key to finding Legislation and Regulations that apply to these organizations. StratML is an XML-based approach that is inherently logical, systematic and "Open Source". As an exemplary example of a low-hanging fruit, StratML stands to provide large benefits to transparency, participation, collaboration, capacity building and the legal challenges of discovery. StratML just happens to be a low-cost high-benefit package, too.
