Blueprint for
The Problem
The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center was a small cultural program with a new leader looking to implement his innovative vision for the future.
What management needed:
To ensure this program could succeed in executing the director’s vision and win the support of the Board, buy-in from staff, and investment from key institutional and individual funders.
What Staff Wanted:
An opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the future plan and clear direction on their roles in bringing it to life.
What Happened Next:
Pherabe joined forces with the program’s leadership to develop and write a staff-led strategic plan to translate the director’s vision into action and create tangible programmatic offerings, project plans and cost estimates.
The Solution:
A three-year “Blueprint” that laid out a bold vision for the future that was embraced by staff and the Board and attracted significant foundation funding within months of its release.
