Program Design is where your vision hits the pavement. 

It’s where ideas become implementation. It’s where your talents are brought into the light of day.

 

But unfortunately, poor program design wastes time and creates competing priorities. It results in insufficient preparation, broken communication and the seeds of dysfunction.

 

Whether you’re a full-time orchestra seeking a presence in the community, a social service organization seeking to offer arts programming to your constituents, a string quartet launching a series of children’s concerts, or a museum seeking ways to target new audiences, program design is where it all begins.

 

With a comprehensive knowledge of successful objectives-based models for community engagement and a strong penchant for working well outside the box, we can help you to:

• Develop a program model that serves your organization and your community without burdening either.

• Tweak existing models to make them more efficient, effective and fundable.

• Assess and develop the assets necessary for effective implementation from the start.

• Bridge the pervasive communication gap between artists, social services agencies, schools, funders, politicians and constituents. 

 

The flip side of program design is Assessment. All funders today ask for a clear and focused assessment of outcomes for each an every program and event. But well designed assessment protocols should not be used simply to satisfy your funders. If used well they will become the most valuable tool that you possess for growing your organization and your client pool or audience base, for deepening the commitment of your staff or members, and for growing your budget.

 

We will help you to design the appropriate tools and delivery systems to make those assessments without undue burden on you, your staff or your constituents. And we will help you to learn to use those tools to develop and maintain dynamic programming.
