About Us
If you're the CEO of an arts and culture organization, there's a pretty good chance you've got a problem on your hands.
That's because, according to a LinkedIn post by the president and CEO of San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, innovation is key to the organization's success.
Here are seven tips to help boost innovation in arts and culture organizations: Define your vision: "By involving your audience, you can create more relevant, diverse, and inclusive arts and culture experiences."
Engage your audience: "You need to understand their needs, preferences, and feedback, and use them as sources of inspiration and learning."
Experiment with new ideas: "You can generate new ideas by brainstorming, researching, or using design thinking methods."
Test new ideas: "You also need to test them in real or simulated settings, and learn from the results."
Learn from failures: "Failures are inevitable when you try something new or different.
But they are also valuable opportunities to learn and improve."
Celebrate your successes: "By celebrating your successes, you can boost your morale, reputation, and visibility, and inspire more innovation in arts and culture organizations."
