Mountain Top Vision is pleased to announce The Resilience Playbook, a new service for museums reinventing themselves during challenging times, developed by museum veterans Anne W. Ackerson, Gail Anderson, and Dina A. Bailey.

Times of extraordinary change and disruptions demand flexibility, humility, perseverance, self-reflection and a responsiveness to a complex confluence of realities by museum leaders. Agile leadership requires mapping out a meaningful, relevant, and financially viable path forward to achieve greater public impact, inclusion, and value through resilience practices. Resilience strategies require rethinking long-held approaches and tackling embedded exclusionary, colonial, and outmoded ideologies and practices to establish more flexible, inclusive, and responsive frameworks that better align with external realities.

With your purchase of The Resilience Playbook and time with the Resilience Team, your organization can reimagine a future that is relevant and responsive to the changing world around us. Specifically, The Resilience Playbook encompasses 5 Resilience Goals and 20 Plays, with sequential strategies, that offer practical and empowering approaches to help your organization realign around equity and inclusion, community value, impactful role, financial viability, and agile leadership. The interrelated goals tap the inherent strengths of an institution and guide leaders through reframing the work of the museum to align with the demands of disruptions and contemporary realities.

We urge any director, board leader or senior staff member to reach out to learn more and determine if this service would be helpful at this time. Every client will have an approach that is tailor made to suit their needs and budget. We tailor our services to you, whether it involves one of us or the full Resilience Team. Here are some options for you to consider:

• Attend a free introductory webinar that outlines the tenets of The Resilience Playbook and explains the options for using the Playbook and the Playbook Team’s guidance;

• Participate in an in-depth, half-day orientation workshop that will utilize The Resilience Playbook and members of the Playbook Team to determine next steps that are specific to the needs of your organization (initial fee);

• Engage the Playbook Team in a coaching role over several months, beginning with an initial orientation workshop and, then, supported with check-in calls and work sessions to keep organizational momentum going (negotiated fee); or,

• Work with the Playbook Team to take you through a planning process, based on The Resilience Playbook, to build a Resilience Framework and Plan that will guide your institution forward (negotiated fee).

The Resilience Playbook is designed for organization use only, but individuals will be able to learn more in future webinars and articles.
