Evaluation and strategy
Today a museum can no longer work in a linear fashion, independent of the evolution of society. In the current context of environmental, health and economic crises, it isn’t enough for museums to confine themselves solely to a role of conservation, study or education. Going forward they must question their missions, understand the evolution of public wishes and redefine their role in society. Strategic positioning and planning tools are needed to define a museum’s vision, orientations and ambitions.
Services:
- Evaluating cultural and scientific institutions. Strengths/weaknesses analysis, charter
- Writing strategic documents (scientific and cultural projects, strategic plans, master plans, charter, action plans,…)
- Assisting project management
