Intentional practice is a new area of work for RK&A. Museums are continually being asked to do more with less while providing clear proof of achievement and impact. As a result, leaders must strengthen their museum, as an organization, to respond.

Pursuing intentional practice is one solution for a new way of working. To achieve success in this century, we believe museums must be intentional in their practice by continually clarifying their purpose, aligning all practices and resources to achieve their purpose, measuring impact, and learning from practice to strengthen ongoing planning and actions.

We offer a series of organizational development workshops that mobilize museum leadership and staff to work together and fuel change for a new, impact-driven way of working. The workshops include

1. The Museum’s Intended Impact
2. Institutional Alignment
3. Intentional Program Planning
4. Collective Assessment.

We recently conducted intentional practice projects at the following museums.

Reynolda House Museum of American Art, Winston Salem, NC

The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD

Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY
