Partnership Power situates museum-related partnerships,
collaborations, and networks within today's dynamic, ever-changing
environment-with the increased emphasis on museums to demonstrate
measurable impact in their communities and in view of exponential
technological changes and in addressing such significant societal
challenges as civic polarization, demographic change, economic
inequity, and global warming. Through perspectives from other,
related sectors, including libraries and other nonprofits; current
museum case studies from a broad and diverse spectrum of museum
types (history, children's, art, science, and ethnic); and proven
tools, tips, and resources, Partnership Power: Essential Museum
Strategies for Today's Networked World serves as an invaluable
primer for museums - and museum professionals -- wanting to create
and sustain effective partnerships and collaborations. The volume
helps solve the partnership puzzle, focusing on the essential
attributes of sustainable and relevant collaborations, within
communities, states, and nationally, including examples of broader
multi-institutional networks that are increasingly important to
maintain relevance in this hyper-connected world. It contains words
of wisdom from museum leaders, funders, community organizers, and
researchers-both industry experts and newcomers--on what authentic
partnership means, how partnerships evolve, benefits of
partnerships as well the challenges they can present. How does a
museum determine and select a viable partner or partners? What
happens when a partnership encounters the inevitable pitfalls and
barriers? When should you move away from a partnership? How does
one evaluate a partnership's success or failure? The book also
looks inside the museum: what are key issues of institutional
culture, staff skills and competencies, managing financial
resources, marketing the partnership, and working with boards that
often emerge in the context of partnership development and
management?
