One of the toughest challenges, in any type of organization, is getting traction for a new idea. It can be a struggle to win over staff, peers, managers, and board members, and powerful new ideas often get stuck in place. This is especially true in the cultural sector, where there is little time and even less money for experimentation and risks. To keep realizing their goals, arts and cultural leaders need to create an environment where new management and program ideas can effectively be created, shared, evaluated, and the best ones successfully put to work.
