Beyond Survival 2 – Let’s Get Real
In this seminar we focus on:
- A realistic plan to make necessary changes, including how it will be financed
- A relentless focus on audiences, donors, and customers
The organisations which will prosper after the Corona crisis will all share the same characteristics:
- A clear vision of their new future
- No sentimentality about the past
- A realistic plan to make necessary changes, including how it will be financed
- A relentless focus on audiences, donors, and customers
The second seminar of the efesai series discusses the danger of focusing on institutional survival above all else. Change is painful but there are many ways in which the mission of a cultural organisation can be delivered, and clarity of purpose is key. Kate Rolfe from London and Leah Stuhltrager from Berlin will give their answers to questions such as: How can we turn our dreams into a reality? How can we make changes in our organisations without pulling ourselves to pieces? Who really loves and needs us?
