Business Models in Arts and Cultural Organisations |
Welcome
Business Models in Arts and Cultural Organisations: Barriers to and Perspectives on Change
If you are a senior staff member or manager of an arts or cultural organisation, please spare 20 minutes to complete this survey.
Your response will inform our research and recommendations to the European Commission and other bodies about the future of support for cultural organisations looking to improve their sustainability through adapting their business models.
For this research, the term ‘business model’ is a way of mapping out everything your organisation does and how it connects.
The survey asks about:
- Information about your organisation
- Your current income and funding sources
- The changes you have made to improve your sustainability
- What is leading to making these changes and what gets in the way
We know that managers of cultural organisations are extremely busy. But it is only through surveys of this type that we can build up a picture of how the cultural sector is adapting to the changing external environment. We are seeking only one response per organisation. It should take no more than 20 minutes to complete, but may take a little longer if you use the comment boxes to provide additional information. Please note, you will need to complete the survey in one sitting as it cannot be saved half way through.
The results of the survey will be shared with professional bodies, particularly funders and development organisations. We will produce analysis and recommendations which we hope will ensure the support and development opportunities available to professionals working in the arts and cultural sector are relevant to their needs.
Any comments you make in the survey used in publicly-available publications will not identify you. If we use your comments, they will be followed by brackets that will include a description of your organisation, your job title and the date you responded to the survey. For example: (Regional Theatre Company Spain, Managing Director, September 2017). This will help people understand your comment but your profile and details will not be made public.
This survey is part of a European-wide project called Creative Lenses which is researching business model change in the arts and cultural sector. The research is led by the University of the Arts London as part of a consortium which includes Trans Europe Halles and IETM and is funded by the European Commission’s Creative Europe programme.
