MGMP’s feasibility studies explore how your museum can be a successful, enduring institution.

Our studies provide opportunities for a museum to clarify its mission, goals, needs and strategies, and help a museum’s supporters envision whom it will serve, how it will serve them, and what resources it will need to succeed.

 

Diagnosing your museum’s ability to achieve success and longevity

 

Our work process includes a comprehensive slate of components:

  • Vision and Mission

  • Audience identification and definition 

  • Governance options

  • Operational considerations, such as staffing, operating budget range, and revenue-production goals

  • Program offerings

  • Exhibit narratives

  • Core necessary functional facility components

  • Possible funding sources

Each of the deliverables created by our team during the feasibility study process help us to develop a larger view of the Museum’s site and facility components, and its future operations and audiences.

Creating a roadmap for success

 

Feasibility studies developed by MGMP achieve much more than simply a statement of institutional capacities.

Rather, our studies and work process are designed to develop community buy-in for the project, and to support your fundraising and case statement.

Helping you proceed with confidence

 

MGMP engages in a collaborative process to examine how each planning component affects the others. We then work to bring into alignment the full range of project considerations, creating a project schedule which outlines responsibilities and accountability, and defining a target project budget.

This analysis allows our clients to make project-related decisions with confidence.
