An arts organization can have the best digital strategies in the world, but so much of an organization’s success comes down to people, culture, and leadership.

Without valuing people, we won’t meet the critical challenges of connecting with our audiences in the 21st century.

I recently presented a webinar called “Creating a People-First Culture,” or if you’re a glass half empty person, “The People Crisis in the Arts.” I am passionate about this topic and want to share this webinar with you.

 

It’s based on how we lead at CI and what we’ve learned over the years about organizational health. I hope you watch, share, and get inspired to drive growth and change within your organization.

Below are some of the resources mentioned during the webinar if you’re interested in learning more.
