Our strategic planning process begins with an exploration of big-picture dreams and aspirations, as well as the acknowledgment of shared challenges.

This leads into a period of defining our general scope of discussions, and clarifying our planning mandates and terminology, so we can all operate on the same page and from the same assumptions.

We then begin to incorporate context, data and analysis into the conversation. MGMP provides a multi-level analysis of comparable and peer institutions, plus the knowledge we’ve gained working with similar organizations.

Together, these components paint a realistic picture of the expectations, professional practices, and performance standards for the museum.

We always seek to engage people with the central ideas behind your organization, creating a platform for sharing and community exchange.

We offer multiple formats for stakeholders, committees, community and team members to discover mutual understanding and share their diverse ideas, histories and knowledge.
