Strategy, Planning, Special Projects for Museums and Cultural Institutions AK Cultural Planning collaborates with institutional leaders to ensure the building blocks of long-term sustainability are in sync. Research tailored to the unique circumstances of each client provides a solid foundation for decision-making. The results are strategies and plans that align mission-based programming, market position, and audience development goals with governance, staffing, space use, and business strategy. AK Cultural Planning is a consulting practice founded by Amy Kaufman in 2015, building on a 25 year career in arts and cultural management. We are known for producing comprehensive Institutional, Business, Strategic and Implementation Plans, often integrated with major capital projects. Every project is built on a solid foundation of market research, public engagement, organizational assessment, and client collaboration.
