Wednesday's topic:
 
Strategic Thinking and Planning in Today's Economic Climate
In collaboration with the AAM Museum Management Committee (MMC)

July 1, 2009
2-3:30 p.m. (Eastern)


Description
As museums strive to remain financially viable through cost reductions and shifting resources to maximize revenue in the short term, they should also do things now to strengthen their sustainability over the long term. Rather than just getting through this economic downturn, museums should use it as an opportunity to build a stronger organization with greater capacity to remain viable in the future. Drawing on proven organizational concepts from the business sector, John Durel will discuss four essential elements of long term sustainability. The stronger the organization is in each element, the more likely it will emerge even stronger as it responds to challenges that come its way.
