Cultural organizations aspire to make the world a better place
through bold visions and meaningful initiatives. But in today's world, it can
be hard to achieve real impact on your own. Partnerships are critical to
winning broad public support, to reaching new audiences and donors, to doing
more with every dollar and to bringing to life work that is as inspired as we
dream it can be. Extending Your Reach helps you better understand how alliances
can amplify your organizational strategy. After careful evaluation of your
current relationships, your goals for the future and critical tactics for
establishing alliances, you will leave this seminar prepared to lead a
portfolio of strategic partners and engage in alliances that will help you
achieve your vision.
Extending Your Reach gives you the tools, knowledge and context to
strategically assess opportunities so that your partnerships can help you
increase impact, furthering your mission and building a stronger cultural
community. After attending Extending Your Reach, you will:
- Clearly
understand how your institutional goals can be better served through
strong partnerships and be able to strategically evaluate potential
partnerships
- Better
understand how alliances can help you accomplish more in today’s
environment of greater competition, tighter money and more demanding
contributors
- Have
a clearly defined network map and partnership portfolio for your
organization
- Effectively
initiate and design alliances that engage partners and help further your
mission.
Your team will come together in advance of the seminar to discuss
your current partnership activities and lay the groundwork for your time at the
seminar. At Extending Your Reach, you’ll experience a mix of faculty
presentations, class discussions and team activities – including analyzing your
network map and evaluating in detail one of your organization’s critical
alliances – to enhance your understanding of the vital role alliances can play
in your organizational strategy and how fostering strong relationships can help
you accomplish more.
Who should attend
An alliance-driven strategy requires effort from many departments
within an organization. We recommend that your team includes at least three and
up to five of the members most important to managing and executing your
organization’s alliances. It may be helpful to include:
