elements will be critical. And we note in passing that the MLM sits at the heart of some of the wealthiest real estate in the country with seasonal residents who have very deep pockets, so this could (should?) very well be an element of the plan developed.
2. Study Approach and Methodology
At the outset of this section, we emphasize that this is a proposed work plan – we are entirely amenable to reviewing it with you and revising it as need be to ensure that it is optimal to your needs. This would be done at the initial start-up meeting.
We see undertaking this project in three phases, which are:
Phase 1: Consultation and Best Practices Assessment
Phase 2: Museum Physical Layout, Artifact Display and Program Plan Phase 3: Phased Growth Plan Option
The chart below outlines the major tasks and specific activities involved in each phase. Specific deliverables resulting from the work are indicated in red.
Not shown as specific additional tasks would be weekly project update meetings by Zoom, which we have found in many recent assignments to be an ideal way to keep the momentum of the project going through on-going progress updates, while ensuring that both the client and the consultant are apprised of any recent developments that may affect the outcome of the work. This ensures a ‘no surprises’ approach to the conduct of the study.
