In a world of rapid social and technological shifts, the ability to adapt is your most valuable asset. Change is no longer a one-time project; it is a constant state of being. Mastering the human and structural elements of transformation is a game-changer from day one.

Change and Transformation is a hands-on, interactive, strategic training that helps cultural institutions to navigate complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity. We will learn how to engage people, move organizations and face the different phases of organizational transformations

What you will learn

Mastering the Human Factor

Change doesn’t fail because of strategy; it fails because of unmanaged emotions. You will explore the House of Change and the Engagement Curve to understand the emotional journey of your team. Learn how to deal with resistance and move individuals from denial to active participation.

Navigating Complexity & Systems

Traditional museum hierarchies can struggle with uncertainty. We show you how to analyze your Stakeholder Map and design a robust Change Architecture. By understanding organizational Regulatory Systems, you will learn how to move entire systems effectively without losing momentum.

Architect the Target Picture

Transformation requires a clear Target Picture. You will learn to use Phase Models and Change Maps to visualize the path from where you are to where you need to be. We provide the tools to align your mission with modern operational realities, ensuring your Target Picture becomes a shared reality.

Both days run from 09:00 to 17:00. You'll alternate between facilitated input sessions, case-based exercises, peer discussions, and hands-on work on your own institutional challenges. It's intensive but paced — and yes, there's plenty of coffee.
Museum directors, deputy directors, department heads, science center executives, and team leaders from institutions of all sizes — from city museums to national galleries. Cohorts are capped at 25 to keep the conversation real and the exercises useful.
No. Our workshops are designed for museum professionals, not management consultants. If you lead people, projects, or decisions at your institution, you have the right background. The exercises meet you where you are — whether you've been in your role for two years or twenty.
English. All materials, facilitation, and group work are in English.
Yes. Every workshop is designed so you work on your own institution's challenges throughout. By the end of day two you'll have a practical output — a plan, a framework, or a set of next steps — that you can bring straight back to your team. Plus all the toolkits and materials.
The fee covers both full workshop days, all session materials and toolkits, and food and beverages throughout (lunch, coffee, snacks). Travel and accommodation are not included, but we're happy to recommend places to stay in Vienna at different price points.
Full details are on our payment and cancellation policy page. In short: you can cancel with a full refund up to a set deadline before the course date. After that, a partial fee applies — or you can transfer your spot to a colleague. We try to be fair and flexible.
Absolutely — many participants do. Each of our four tracks covers a different challenge: leadership, change management, audience engagement, and revenue strategy. They complement each other, so attending two or more over a year gives you a well-rounded strategic toolkit.
Yes, and we encourage it. Institutional change sticks better when more than one person has shared the experience. If you're registering three or more people from the same organisation, get in touch — we may be able to offer a group arrangement.
Vienna is one of Europe's great museum cities — home to the Albertina, Belvedere, KHM, MAK, and dozens of others. It's well connected by air and rail, safe, walkable, and culturally rich. Many participants arrive a day early or stay a day after to visit institutions and recharge.

Embrace innovation.
Drive meaningful change.
