| Experience design and customer service are rarely, if ever, explored as strategic questions in arts and cultural organizations. Customer service is treated as a technical question for the operations department: how many ushers do we need for opening night? Customer experience is managed as a technical question for exhibit designers: how should the interpretive information be presented for this show?
When these questions are raised to the executive level, leaders can ask a very different question: How does our approach to service and the complete experience we create for our audience fuel or foil our mission, our artistic objectives and our financial opportunities? How do you integrate experience design into the core strategic vision of a cultural organization?
National Arts Strategies has partnered with Spain’s IESE Business School to develop Arts and Cultural Management: From Service Design to Success, a three-day program at IESE’s New York City campus, as a way to work with cultural leaders to begin addressing experience design as a means of achieving sustainability.
