subtitle-60-9620-1"Here's another example of these outcomes mapping in a theory of change."
subtitle-9630-12060-2"This theory of change is about wiki participation."
subtitle-13860-19620-3"So the long term outcome is to increase our active editors to so and so."
subtitle-19620-21120-4"That's the long term outcome."
subtitle-21600-23610-5"Now, how can we do it?"
subtitle-23880-28050-6"The people who made this slide, some years ago, at the Wikimedia Foundation said, "okay,"
subtitle-28050-37320-7"we can divide the ways, the outcomes that we can have, into three: We can acquire more new"
subtitle-37320-45420-8"users; We can convert more users, make sure that more new users become editors; And we"
subtitle-45420-47430-9"can retain editors."
subtitle-47700-50640-10"Make sure that active editors stay active."
subtitle-50670-56520-11"These are three separate areas, each of which we could potentially invest in." And"
subtitle-56520-62250-12"then furthermore, under each area, as you can see, they have identified what they"
subtitle-62250-64800-13"called levers of change."
subtitle-65850-72630-14"Specific things, each of which -- tweaking or improving each of these things, will have"
subtitle-72630-77860-15"an effect. If we raise awareness, for example, then we will acquire more new users."
subtitle-77880-82050-16"If we make registration easier, we will acquire more new users."
subtitle-82290-86160-17"Because some new users begin registration and give up for whatever reason."
subtitle-86640-90540-18"If we make joining more motivating, we will acquire new users."
subtitle-90690-99060-19"So these are three separate levers, three separate mechanisms that we could potentially"
subtitle-99060-102750-20"influence to affect the larger outcome of acquisition."
subtitle-103980-105630-21"And likewise with these others."
subtitle-105870-107580-22"We don't want to go into the details of this."
subtitle-108000-113790-23"But I'm showing you another example of how we break down the formidable challenge of"
subtitle-115770-120900-24""get more active editors" and break it down into things that we can conceivably do"
subtitle-120900-125640-25"something about. Because if I tell you "we need more active editors!", maybe you can't"
subtitle-125640-127020-26"quite think of what to do about it."
subtitle-127020-131390-27"Or maybe you can only think of one thing: "we will do editing workshops!"."
subtitle-131390-135000-28"But as you can see, editing workshops are not even mentioned here."
subtitle-136160-138680-29"Partly because this is from a [Wikimedia] Foundation's perspective."
subtitle-138680-143600-30"So the focus is on product and technology, on what we can change about the platform."
subtitle-144140-146060-31"So editing workshops are not even part of this."
subtitle-147980-153590-32"But here are all these other mechanisms, each of which could make a difference in"
subtitle-153590-157250-33"participation. So that's what I wanted to show you."
