I am posting the following on behalf of my Executive Director, Dr. Robert Janes.

Museums are perhaps the last place one would look for radical organizational
thinking, but the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, under the
directorship of Robert R. Janes, is startling the cultural community with
its innovative and challenging new ways of doing business. A profile of
Glenbow's attempts at transformation has been captured in a new book:
"Museums and the Paradox of Change", by Glenbow Executive Director, Robert
R. Janes, recently published by Glenbow.
Janes presents a detailed case study of Glenbow's change process, described
with sometimes startling candour. This case study is complemented by a
thoughtful essay by Michael Ames, Director of the University of British
Columbia's Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, Canada, as well as
contributions by six museum directors from Canada and Europe, who comment on
Glenbow's experience and offer their own insights. This publication is
unique in that ten Glenbow staff members, both current and former, also
offer perspectives on the "human side of change" and what the changes at
Glenbow have meant to them personally and professionally.
This publication is available from:
