In times of significant change, museums, galleries and other
cultural institutions need a clear sense of mission, achievable
goals, effective leadership, and thoughtful management. This course
explores the complex forces that are reshaping the cultural sector
and considers the value of "performance measures" as a framework for
applying principles and practices that foster relevant and
successful cultural institutions. You strengthen your ability to:

    *    Shape the structure and culture of organizations
    *    Articulate mission, goals, and performance objectives
    *    Provide effective leadership and decision making
    *    Develop and implement policy
    *    Support, develop and manage staff and volunteers
    *    Plan and manage financial and other resources
    *    Undertake strategic and operational planning
    *    Strengthen community involvement and support
