Cultural organizations require a different approach.
Each cultural organization a system of different business models under one mission, one roof, and one set of resources. This complexity requires techniques that go beyond traditional frameworks and benchmarking.
Operationally’s consulting philosophy was established to overcome this complexity and deliver practical recommendations that align with your organization’s strategic goals, resource constraints, and mission.
Consulting Philosophy
Each client is unique.
All cultural organizations are important, yet each has different goals, constituents, staff, processes, and resources. Operationally will go beyond universal frameworks to listen to your questions, develop a bespoke approach, and provide actionable and practical recommendations.
Great ideas come from all industries.
Best practices for the cultural sector can live outside of it, particularly with regards to operations. Operationally brings cross-industry experience and ideas to your entire organization, from Board engagement and executive leadership to process improvement and cutting-edge innovation.
Resource constraints enable success.
While uncomfortable to acknowledge, constraints such as staff time, space, infrastructure, and finances can make or break any project. Operationally explicitly takes these into account to further improve our recommendations, and engagements are designed to be focused, quick, impactful, and sensitive to these constraints.
Time is as valuable as insight.
The value of consulting comes from insight, action, and improved decision-making, not increased workload within an organization. Operationally structures engagements to add value as quickly as possible, protecting staff time and minimizing additional activity within client organizations.
