Workshop participants will focus on the first three phases of the process, learning concepts and skills to take back to their respective institutions. Directors, senior staff, and trustees are encouraged to attend as a team. Free follow up meetings will be scheduled to continue coaching museums through the program. Each phase is designed to integrate with the others. The seven phases are: 1. LEARNING TO LEARN Participants will be coached in developing dialogue that expands common ground, fosters new solutions, and builds the highest levels of commitment to action. 2. WHERE ARE WE NOW? Includes assessments of the museum's current situation with external and internal environments, as well as the museum's readiness to change. This phase culminates with the creation of a statement of Why the Museum Should Change. It uses a process which typically builds 100% commitment from board, staff and volunteers. 3. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE? Based on current trends and factors, a picture of the future environment in which the museum will exist is created. The elements of this picture are analyzed and prioritized. 4. WHERE DO WE WANT TO GO? This is a rigorous visioning process which uncovers the museum's core purpose and central values. It also establishes a vivid description of the desired future for the museum. 5. HOW WILL WE GET THERE? Strategy formulation, traditional planning, budgeting, structure of the board and staff, and systems for measuring process are designed. 6. SOLVING PROBLEMS AND IMPROVING WORK FLOW A structure and system for bringing people together to solve problems and improve work flow, communication and coordination. 7. IMPLEMENTATION AND FOLLOW THROUGH Designing the structure and system to support the process of follow through. Facilitator: Will Phillips, President of QM2 (Quality Management for Quality Museums).
