Building a shared project practice
What is the minimum structure museum projects actually need?
What is the Project Circle?
The Museum Project Circle is a free monthly facilitated conversation for museum professionals managing projects, teams, initiatives, and organizational change.
Each session begins with real questions and situations submitted by participants.
We explore:
How do we manage competing priorities when everything feels urgent?
How do we clarify roles without creating unnecessary bureaucracy?
How do we improve collaboration across departments
How do we introduce a new tool without overwhelming staff?
How do we adapt project management to museums rather than forcing museums into a corporate model?
Format
Monthly
90 mins
Live on Zoom
Free to attend
Open to museum, academic, and cultural professionals at every career stage
Participants contribute their perspectives and experience. I guide the discussion, connect recurring themes, ask questions, and introduce practical frameworks when useful.
This is not a webinar. It will be a place to examine the work with people who understand it and learn from each other.
