1625 Post Street,
San Francisco New Visions Program: A Process for Reinventing
Your Museum For the Next Millennium Join your colleagues to be
part of the New Visions Program (TM) -- is a comprehensive and
systematic process for reinventing museums. 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). QM2
offers organizational development and management skills to
museums. Mr. Phillips lectures nationwide and frequently consults
with individual museums. He recently worked with the American
Association of Museums to implement the New Visions process in
museums across the country. Post-Conference Workshop Saturday,
