Ep. 26 — Looking at the next 90 Days
If you’re not already doing quarterly planning at your museum, now’s the perfect time to start! In this episode, Amy talks about the best practices for quarterly planning for your museum. She also gives listeners three other things that can be looked at every quarter. It’s one of the best ways to make sure your museum doesn’t just survive—but thrives.
Key Takeaways:
Quarterly planning keeps your museum moving forward. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, but taking time every quarter to revisit your priorities helps your team stay on the same page and actually make progress—without feeling scattered or overwhelmed.
Three things to check in on every quarter. In addition to planning, take a little time to:
Do a time audit to see where your (and your team’s) time is really going.
Compare notes with other departments—you might be duplicating work without realizing it!
Review your standard operating procedures (SOPs) so things run smoothly, even when someone is out.
Planning is about people, not just to-do lists. A good plan isn’t just about getting things done—it’s about making sure your team has what they need to do their jobs well. When everyone knows their role and feels supported, the work gets done and feels meaningful.
