LMG Presents
Embracing Agile
free webinar series
Join us for our Embracing Agile webinar series in Spring 2021.
Museums need to be agile to adapt quickly in these uncertain times in order to deliver a positive visitor experience. Many museums are redesigning their operations and creating new flexible approaches to ensure that their staff, volunteers and visitors are safe and have a positive experience.
This series of webinars will explore practical examples of how museums, galleries and heritage sites can apply agile concepts to care for their collections and meet visitor needs. Whether you are in management, learning or front of house, hear from your peers and learn how you can play a role in adapting to the ever-changing world.
