Developing strategy, getting buy-in, and finding resources are often the real reason why a creative vision is brought to life. In this course, students will focus on creating a culture where the fear of failure is replaced by the best new ideas being embraced. Targeted to organizations as diverse as museums, zoos, and arts centers, the course tackles the issues faced by these institutions in two key ways. First, it examines how cultural leaders can filter and frame the best ideas so they can be more easily sold to skeptical stakeholders. Second, the course will look at the constraints that stifle innovation, including financial or technical limitations, groupthink, and market sizes and demographics. Beyond that, students will learn how to develop a process to manage the demands of multiple stakeholders, shifting priorities, and the uncertainty inherent in new initiatives. Review: No reviews.
