For museums, the post-Covid ‘new normal’ presents a mixed picture. For many there is reduced funding, fewer staff and more modest programming. At the same time. digital is assuming a more central role in the visitor experience, access and inclusion are paramount and shared direction-setting with communities is reshaping our practice. These times both challenge leadership and present opportunities to make decisions about which values are essential, what impact is feasible and what kind of vision will build resilience.

I bring a high level set of skills and experience to build your future with you. Whether your brief involves a mission/vision reset, strategic planning, impact evaluation, audience building, values branding, policy development or funding, we can work together to make the future one of vision, value and impact.

    Here are some of the clients and projects that I have worked on over the last decade.
