Phase 3: Phased Growth Plan Options Report
Task 14. Identify Growth Plan Options
- Based upon the foregoing analysis and recommendations, we will develop various options in terms of conceptual plans for museum growth
- These may entail, for example:
- Status quo option, representing a return to sustainability
(some form of ‘new normal’) after the pandemic subsides
(with vaccinations and herd immunity becoming established)
- Aggressive growth option, where measures are put in place
with the collections, exhibits and displays, and programs and services, to (say) double attendance and utilization over a 5- year period
- Transformation option, where radically new programs services, exhibits, etc. are developed (possibilities for this option will have been explored in the first consultation phase of the work)
- The implications of these options in terms of very high-level estimates of staffing, operating costs, attendance and utilization, operating revenues, budget, etc. will also be assessed

Task 15. Workshop Session with Board
- Here we proposed a workshop session with the Board to discuss the options developed in Task 14, and determine a specific direction in which the Board would like to move
- This will be a 1⁄2 to 1-day session, involving an online technology such as GoToMeeting or Zoom
- The primary objective of this session will be to select growth plan option that the Board feels to be most meaningful and relevant to focus upon moving forward

Task 16. Detailing of Growth Plan
- Here we will further detail and develop the growth plan option selected
- This will entail recommendations relating to:
- Physical design and layout (building upon Phase 2) - Collections and exhibits
- Programs and services
- Staffing and resource requirements
- Attendance and utilization implications
- Budget implications
-
This plan will likely be detailed as well in terms of short (1-2 years); medium (3-5 years) and longer-term (6+ years) phases
- We will also comment upon implementation considerations such as roles and responsibilities; timing and critical path; human and financial resource requirements; targets and milestones; and indicators of success
