COVID-19: after the lockdown and into the future

  • Strategic and Business Planning

A virtual away day for your senior team to think about next steps and strategic change, producing a Strategic Action Plan.

A facilitated day-long virtual workshop for up to 8-12 members of your senior team / board of trustees to generate a dynamic response to the months after the lockdown and the longer-term strategic implications and opportunities for your organisation.

We’re all now considering how the aftermath of Covid-19 pandemic might affect society, the economy, politics, human interaction and cultural practice. How might our way of life, the way we work and the way we engage with culture change? What about the business and funding environments? What will the challenges and opportunities be and how can we respond positively and imaginatively? Our virtual away day will help you create the space for your senior staff or board members to think about these issues and develop your ideas, with Counterculture providing specialist industry insights. We will help you think about some of the immediate responses you might make and how your longer-term strategy might adapt or change.

Format

  1. 2 x one-to-one conversations with the Director and/or Chair or other senior staff prior to the day to explore some of the issues you’d like to focus on;
  2. A short questionnaire for participants in the week before the day to encourage thinking around the issues and to inform discussions on the day;
  3. A day long (10am-4pm) discussion facilitated by two Counterculture partners held on Zoom or Teams; the morning session will concentrate on the priorities for the few months after the lockdown, while the afternoon session will open up to consider the longer-term changes to your environment, for example thinking about audiences, technology, programme and business models;
  4. A Strategic Action Plan paper summarising key themes and actions agreed on the day.

Cost

£2,400 + VAT
