Media Working Group works with organizations to create a map for the future and to understand the organizational implications of that future. We assist organizations in rethinking their missions and roles in their communities. We help organizations acquire the knowledge of their community and telecommunications landscape needed to respond to the extraordinary shifts taking place in our economy and culture.

Working with emerging organizational models in this country and internationally, our consultants help organizations position themselves to build strategic partnerships with educators, non-profits, media industries and community development groups. We assist boards and staff to integrate their media and cultural missions with community and economic development activities taking place in their regions.

Our approach to organizational change is grounded in an understanding that arts and cultural organizations are cultural industries and incubators, that can bring together media art making and aesthetic training with workforce development and community communications. In recent years we have gained a clear understanding of the needs of organizations in a 'networked' environment through our telecom consulting and work as a mentoring organization in the national Open Studio: The Arts On-line network.
