Strategy
On 28th January 2023, the Institute held a large “Future Search” event in the Museum, to which all members were invited, and which was also attended by a cross-section of volunteers, CE Scheme employees, and other stakeholders.
The aim was to stand back from our current and shorter-term challenges and, by working together as equal stakeholders, creatively imagine possible futures for the Institute and Museum and what may be needed to secure their longer-term future.
There were no presentations, talks or lectures, and the entire morning was devoted to sharing ideas and thinking.
The Future Search report will be posted here when it’s finalised.
