From what I have heard, museum directors are reading "Good to Great" to see
how they can implement the information.  John Durel of QM2 has offered

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] "Good to Great" and other business management strategies


> I have just read Jim Collins' "Good to Great" and I am interested if these
> theories are applicable to museums; and if so are there any museums out
> there that have prescribed to Collins management style; and if so what
> changes have come about in said museums.  Any thoughts would be helpful.
> I am a graduate student interested in the above as a thesis topic and
> would like to know what working museum professionals think about applying
> business management strategies to museums (or non-profits in general).  Or
> let me know if your museum has used other business management stratgies,
> i.e. Fish!

> Thanks for your help!
