The arts, culture and education landscape is constantly evolving—and so is our consulting practice. We embrace forward-looking approaches that value:
Building audience relationships segment by segment;
Programming in the context of regional and global issues;
Scenario planning and iterative analyses to “right-size” operations;
Integrating findings from multiple disciplines and teams;
Collaborating with staff to manage organizational change;
Seeking broader community benefits and mutually beneficial partnerships;
Devising tools to track successful execution and impacts.
We guide the strategic evolution of museums, history and civil rights institutions, nature and conservation organizations, public gardens and parks, and specialized cultural and educational programs.
