Peridot Partners
10 Feb, 10.15-11.15am
11 Feb, 12-1pm
Drop in for a conversation with a Peridot Partners consultant to think differently about talent, leadership and growth in the cultural sector.
We work with organisations at points of change – scaling ambition, reshaping teams, or questioning whether current leadership and structures are still fit for what’s next. This session creates space to explore how the right people can add cultural and commercial value, not simply reinforce the status quo. You’ll leave with clear perspective, honest challenge and practical next steps.
Bring a live issue, or use the time to explore talent as cultural add, not cultural fit; leadership and structure for the future; or creating a sharper organisational story.
93FT
10 Feb, 3-4pm
11 Feb, 9.30-10.30am
Call by and meet with Eleanor and Nick of 93FT, a multidisciplinary studio specialising in the design and delivery of cultural and heritage projects.
Unlock new commercial thinking and discuss opportunities that will propel your organisation forward. You’ll come away with an external perspective, and the opportunity for a complimentary follow up meeting.
Eleanor and Nick have a wealth of experience to share with you, whether it’s thinking commercially about the visitor experience for a property or estate, making the most of a collection or archive, or increasing audience engagement and revenue potential.
The Revels Office
11 Feb, 10.45-11.45am
Kate Rolfe is available to advise on any aspect of commercial or audience development (or both areas as a combined strategy – a specialty of hers!) She can also help guide on guest experience strategy, revenue diversification, team engagement/motivation, and how to make business cases internally (including consideration of what you can stop doing, as well as what you need to start doing).
